<br/><br/>A charming, converted Oast house (not listed) in an idyllic High Weald setting, with approx. 7.5 acres of pasture, ponds and outbuildings. Hugely desirable village where properties rarely come to market. No onward chain.<br/><br/>Description<br/>Enjoying a captivating and idyllic position in the heart of the East Sussex countryside and High Weald National Landscape, the property provides a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a rural lifestyle and also opportunities for converting the outbuildings for office or holiday let accommodation (SPP).<br/>Inside the property, the hallway leads through to a spacious reception room which is both bright and welcoming due to its triple aspect and its magnificent brick inglenook fireplace and oak beams. Doors overlooking the garden, making this a most family friendly space.<br/>Set in the oast house roundel, the dining room provides a unique entertaining space. An arched door leads through to the dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room, which is spacious and bright, with direct outside access. Potential remodelling of both spaces could create a stunning open plan, kitchen, dining area with access onto the garden.<br/>A utility/boot room and a boiler room lead off the kitchen. Also located on the ground floor, and lending itself to use as a self-contained suite/annexe, a spacious ground floor double bedroom and shower room.<br/>On the first floor a triple aspect principal bedroom, fitted with built-in wardrobes, has spectacular views over the gardens. A further double bedroom, complete with built-ins and eaves storage, is situated in the oast roundel and has a large picture window overlooking the garden and countryside beyond. A family bathroom is located on this floor. On the third floor of the oast is a further double bedroom, with storage and includes spectacular views across East Sussex and completes the accommodation.<br/><br/>Outside<br/>Outside, a range of outbuildings, including a weatherboard fronted former stable, with two internal loose boxes (13’10 x 20’9 ft), and now used as a workshop, with pitch tiled roof, concrete flooring, light and power. Adjoining is a large barn of timber construction with weatherboarded fronting and connections to light and power. A potting shed, complete with power is adjacent to the barn. An additional timber, five-bay cart lodge is the current location of a hen house, chicken run and a small stable.<br/>The gardens and grounds provide an idyllic setting, being principally laid to lawn with a number of trees including cherries, weeping silver birch and apple, with shrubs including roses, one of which climbs over an arbour. The lawn delightfully merges into an area of light woodland with a selection of principally mature oak trees and some willow, along with two ponds.<br/>In addition, to the west of the grounds, is an excellent sheltered and mostly level stock fenced paddock which extends to some 5.4 acres. In all about 7.5 acres.
