Set within about five acres (to be verified), this architect-designed modern family home offers nearly 3,700 sq ft of flexible living with sweeping views towards Ashdown Forest. The ground floor’s generous open-plan kitchen with a curved glass wall flows into a 25’ double-aspect living room, while a second sitting room and multiple large bedrooms give plenty of space for family life and entertaining. Outside there is a wide terrace, formal gardens, a large paddock and a stable block with three stables, tack room and hay store — good for equestrian or smallholding use.
Practical strengths include underfloor heating linked to an LPG boiler, a detached garage and ample private parking via a long driveway. The house is freehold and set in a quiet village setting with low local crime, good local schools and fast broadband available — appealing for families seeking rural space without being isolated.
Notable considerations: the property dates from the 1950–66 era with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, double glazing installed before 2002 and an EPC rating of E (52). Heating runs on bottled/lorry-delivered LPG rather than mains gas, and council tax is Band G (quite expensive). These factors mean running costs and energy-efficiency upgrades should be budgeted for.
Overall this is a substantial country home that will suit a family or buyer seeking equestrian potential and large outdoor space. It offers immediate liveability with clear scope for investment in insulation, glazing and energy systems to improve comfort and reduce ongoing costs.
