Grade II Listed detached house in Framfield conservation area
Large plot with secluded south-facing rear garden and church views
Three reception rooms, three bedrooms, generous overall size (1,917 sq ft)
Chain free with garage and off-street parking
Period features: inglenook fireplace, leaded windows, exposed beams
Listed status restricts alterations; repairs require consent and may be costly
Oil-fired heating; higher running costs and boiler/energy considerations
Some dated decor, ivy growth and potential damp noted — needs inspection
Set within Framfield’s conservation area, this Grade II Listed detached house blends strong period character with generous living space across multiple floors. The property offers three reception rooms, three bedrooms and spacious, well-planted gardens with a southerly rear aspect and glimpses of the church spire — ideal for families seeking village life and private outdoor space. Garage and off-street parking add practical convenience on a large plot.
Important practical points are upfront: the listing status and conservation area protections will restrict alterations and could complicate repairs or extensions. The house has traditional oil-fired heating, evidence of ivy growth on the exterior and some potential damp concerns listed in the description; parts of the interior are dated and will need updating to modern standards. Council Tax sits in Band G and running costs should be factored into ownership.
This is a strong buy for someone who values period detail — inglenook fireplace, leaded-light windows, exposed beams and latched doors — and who accepts the trade-off of listed constraints. It’s chain-free, in a low-crime village with good primary and secondary schools nearby, and within easy driving distance of Uckfield’s amenities and regional transport links. Buyers seeking a sympathetic renovation or a long-term family home in a prosperous countryside setting will find clear potential here.
