Full Description

A rare gem nestled in the heart of the East Sussex countryside, this beautifully designed south-facing home offers the charm and character of a converted barn, while benefiting from modern eco-efficient building techniques. Constructed just 12 years ago, the property features oak weatherboarding and handmade clay roof tiles, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its picturesque surroundings. The house has been built to exacting standards by the current owners and has been showcased in several prestigious magazines, including Country Living, Country Homes & Interiors, and Homebuilding & Renovating.

Eco-conscious and cost-effective, the home is heated by an air source heat pump, supplemented by solar panels and passive solar gain. In the summer months, the extensive verandas on the south-facing side of the property help to keep the interior cool and comfortable.

Entering through a welcoming hallway with a cloakroom, the home opens into a striking inner vestibule that provides a true sense of arrival. A central staircase, the spine of the house, offers glimpses into the vaulted garden sitting room and provides access to the south-facing veranda and garden with far-reaching views over Burwash. To the right, a cosy drawing room awaits, complete with built-in bookcases, a Chesney woodburning stove, and rustic paneling that cleverly conceals a TV and music centre. To the left of the hall, a spacious, bespoke kitchen and dining area offers an ideal space for entertaining, with a utility room conveniently located nearby.

The lower ground floor is home to four bedrooms, two generous bathrooms, and useful storage spaces, including an under-stair wine store. Two of the bedrooms feature French doors leading to a small, paved terrace. These bedrooms can be easily closed off when not in use, providing a sense of privacy. Upstairs, the first floor is a light-filled gallery space overlooking the vaulted

sitting room below. This level also includes the master bedroom, which boasts bespoke panelled wardrobes and a small balcony to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The luxurious master bathroom features a reclaimed roll-top bath, a large shower, and a unique sink set on an antique zinc-topped base. A further smaller bedroom offers flexible use as a nursery, study, or additional guest bedroom.

The office annex is a standout feature of this property, with three separate offices, a kitchenette, and a cloakroom – perfect for anyone looking to work from home or run a small business. There is also an extensive attic space, designed to accommodate a future conversion if desired.

Reclaimed materials have been thoughtfully incorporated into the design, giving the property a sense of age and character, while blending seamlessly with its modern construction.

The latest addition to the property is a stunning Alitex greenhouse and a small, raised bed vegetable garden, perfect for those with a passion for gardening.
