A rare project opportunity in Forest Row: this Tudor‑Revival detached house sits on a very large, private plot on the edge of Ashdown Forest. The layout currently provides three double bedrooms, a large through living/dining room with original timber floors and a kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the garden. The setting is peaceful and well connected to local schools, village amenities and woodland walks.
The property retains attractive period character — fireplaces, timber detailing and multi‑pane windows — but is a complete renovation project. Internally the house requires full modernisation and repair; the kitchen and bathroom are dated and there is currently only a single shower room. EPC rating is D and the house is in Council Tax Band F, which should be factored into ongoing costs.
There is clear scope to create a bespoke family home: the large plot and existing footprint offer potential to extend or reconfigure (subject to planning), with strong uplift potential after refurbishment. Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband, while the low local crime rate and very affluent area add long‑term appeal.
This house will suit buyers prepared for a hands‑on project — builders, experienced renovators or growing families seeking more space and a private garden in a desirable village location. Budget realistically for renovation costs and any planning works when assessing the purchase price.
