Nestled within attractive, unspoilt countryside to the west <br/>of Ashurst Wood, Horseshoe Farmhouse offers a relaxed, <br/>rural lifestyle while still being well-connected to amenities <br/>within the village and East Grinstead – the latter just two miles to the north. The property is enveloped by the natural beauty of the High Weald National Landscape and has fantastic access to footpaths and bridleways throughout the surrounding area, including Ashdown Forest, the inspiration for Winnie the Pooh. Built in the 17th century, the farmhouse is Grade II-listed and notable for its excellent character features which have been well preserved: the outside is presented in the local Sussex vernacular with partially tile-hung elevations, while inside there are exposed beams, wood doors and stone fireplaces aplenty. Separate from the house is a self-contained cottage, formerly a brewhouse with sleeping accommodation above, which presents a great opportunity for multigenerational living or as a holiday let. <br/> <br/>The main house is wonderfully spacious and arranged over four floors, beginning with a useful and generously sized cellar which is ideal for wine storage. The ground floor is entered onto an attached porch leading to a series of reception rooms: an inviting hall, a drawing room and a formal dining room, all offering excellent versatility. The kitchen/breakfast room is also a good size and is fitted with handmade cabinetry and a traditional AGA range stove. Upstairs there are three bedrooms on the first floor (one currently used as a sitting room), as well as a shower room/utility area and separate family bathroom, with a further two double bedrooms on the second floor. The detached cottage is entirely self-contained and features an open plan kitchen and sitting room plus inglenook fireplace, a bathroom and double bedroom. <br/>The house has been subject to a variety of improvements in recent years, including cosmetic redecoration, upgrading the cellar, building the porch and its adjoining cloakroom, and extensive garden updates and landscaping.
