Summary - ASHDOWN HOUSE WEST TANYARD LANE DANEHILL HAYWARDS HEATH RH17 7JW
6 bed 3 bath Link Detached House
Spacious period home with barn annexe and Ashdown Forest views.
Approximately 3,360–3,660 sqft over three floors and six bedrooms
Set within about 2.35 acres and arranged over three floors, this handsome wing of Ashdown House blends strong Victorian character with substantial family space. With six bedrooms, three bathrooms and principal rooms that include a 25ft sitting room, high ceilings, original sash windows and large open fireplaces, the house delivers generous, flexible accommodation for extended family living and entertaining. The detached one‑bed barn, with vaulted beamed ceilings and an external balcony, has previously held planning permission for holiday lets, so it also offers useful ancillary income potential or private guest accommodation.
Wide lawns, mature planting and long views across the Ashdown Forest are major attractions, while the property sits within walking distance of local amenities and the well‑regarded Cumnor House School. Practical features include a tandem garage with storage room above, ample driveway parking and modern wet room in the barn. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and the village location benefits from low crime and a very affluent local area.
Buyers should note this is a character property that will carry higher running and maintenance costs: the main heating uses LPG with a boiler and radiators, council tax is described as quite expensive, and the property sits on a shared driveway. While many principal rooms are richly original and in good order, the house and grounds will suit buyers prepared for ongoing upkeep and sympathetic period renovation where desired.
Overall, the house will most appeal to families or buyers seeking a country residence with guest annexe or income potential, who value privacy, large outdoor space and period authenticity, and are comfortable with the practical costs of maintaining an early 20th‑century country home.
