Gallipot Hill, Hartfield, East Sussex, TN7

An immaculate recently-built house, set well back in the middle of a generous plot, just outside the village on the fringe of the Ashdown Forest.

Description

A stylish, individual and sizeable detached family house, built in 2016 in a traditional-style with vernacular elevations and a contemporary interior finish.

The property enjoys an excellent position within a generous landscaped plot of about 1.81 acres, providing good outside space and a feeling of privacy, with a private gated driveway.

Of particular note, is the fitted modern kitchen with its quality appliances. This combines with the dining room and the family room to create a fine, open-plan, living space opening out to the rear to two sides with a partially covered entertaining space.

Also, the generously proportioned galleried reception hall and the principal bedroom suite, with its impressive dressing room and Juliette balconies.
