Heathfield, TN21

Set amongst beautiful Sussex countryside down a quiet lane, the house sits perfectly within its mature gardens and has a wonderful, homely feel throughout with a blend of character features and modern touches working very well together.

The reception hall makes an impressive entrance to the house with a door opening into a double aspect sitting room with lovely fireplaces to each end, mellow oak flooring, a door out to the garden and into the study, a versatile room which could also be a playroom or snug. Across the hall, the marvellous kitchen/dining/family room is an excellent space taking full advantage of the garden outlooks with well positioned windows and French doors opening to a Wisteria covered terrace providing a fabulous spot for alfresco dining. The kitchen is well appointed with floor and wall mounted units, cream AGA and fine brick open fireplace with ample space for table and chairs and sofas.

An inner hall gives access to a spacious utility room and workshop/store, both with doors to outside, and a contemporary oak staircase rises to the first floor vaulted drawing room – a striking room with modern fireplace, large picture windows overlooking the gardens and bi-folding doors opening to a balcony.

The five bedrooms are all approached from the main landing with the principal bedroom enjoying delightful views of the gardens and an en suite bathroom. A family bathroom and separate shower room serve the remaining bedrooms very well and a staircase gives easy access to a very useful attic room.

Outside

The gardens surround the house and are idyllic with mature and established plants and shrubs in beds bordering excellent areas of both very well tended lawn and more natural areas of meadow. There are numerous specimen trees and various areas in which to sit and enjoy the peace and tranquility including a superb open fronted summer house with cedar tiled roof. In all, the gardens extend to just under an acre and, from all angles, are very attractive and a wonderful place to spend time.

Situation

The property occupies an enviable private position along a country lane just over a mile from the picturesque village of Waldron, with its 13th century church, cricket ground and public house and about 2.5 miles from the old market town of Heathfield which provides an excellent range of shops and amenities. Stonegate train station is approximately 9 miles and Buxted train station is approximately 7 miles both running regular services to London. The popular spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is about 15 miles to the north.
