A spacious 1930s Tudor‑Revival country house set at the end of a private lane with uninterrupted views over Ashdown Forest. The main house offers flexible living across multiple reception rooms, a large garden room and a generous drawing room arranged to maximise the southerly aspect. A self‑contained single‑storey annex provides useful secondary accommodation ideal for guests, staff or rental income.
The grounds extend to approximately 18.59 acres and include formal gardens, paddocks, mature woodland, ponds, numerous brick outbuildings, a greenhouse, tractor store and an all‑weather tennis court. The property is well maintained and presents immediate liveability while also offering scope for updating and reconfiguration to suit multigenerational living or modern family needs.
Practical considerations: heating is oil‑fired with boiler and radiators, the walls are cavity but assumed uninsulated, and the EPC is Band E. The house is serviced by private drainage and the council tax is in Band G, which should be factored into ongoing running costs. The location delivers peace and seclusion, but access is along a long private lane and mobile signal is average.
This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial rural estate with scope to personalise, families wanting strong local schools, or someone wanting an income stream from the annex and outbuildings. The combination of formal gardens, extensive paddocks and spectacular views makes this a rare rural offering.
