Ridgeview House is a substantial modern country residence set in about 7.7 acres, elevated for far-reaching countryside views within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Approaching 5,000 sq ft, the house offers generous reception spaces including a triple-aspect drawing room with log burner, a large kitchen/breakfast room with central island, conservatory opening to a terrace, and a separate vaulted studio — well suited to family living and home working. Six bedrooms are arranged over three floors, with principal bedroom, dressing room and ensuite plus two further double suites on the top floor.
The estate is arranged for equestrian use: two stables, tack room, a field shelter, sand manege and a large modern barn, together with paddocks and a gated driveway leading to a double garage with loft storage. Outdoor entertaining is provided by upper and lower terraces, a covered gazebo bar and mature planted grounds. Access to nearby Mayfield, Heathfield and good schools, plus relatively easy routes to Tunbridge Wells and the South Coast, make this both a private rural retreat and a practical family base.
Buyers should note the scale of the property and grounds: ongoing maintenance, gardening and equestrian upkeep will be significant. Council tax is described as very expensive. Interested parties must verify planning/building regulation consents for outbuildings and any extensions, and confirm the condition and working order of appliances and services before purchase. The peaceful, elevated position offers seclusion but is located a few miles from local services, so private transport is essential.
This home will particularly appeal to equestrian families or buyers seeking generous internal space with strong entertaining potential, plus those who value privacy and countryside outlooks. The combination of barn, manege and paddocks provides immediate practical use for horse owners, while the large reception rooms and studio space offer flexibility for family life or home business.
