Coxlow, The North Wing, Horam, Heathfield

Forming the north wing of an historic country house, Number 1 Coxlow provides a charming character family home with distinctive features including decorative detailing to windows, wall panelling, beam frameworks and timber-cladding to ceilings, and feature fireplace. On the ground floor a vestibule gives access into a reception hall and adjoining sitting room, both with enchanting recess spaces within bay window alcoves and providing elegant settings for relaxation and dining. The kitchen is fitted with dark-colour-toned cabinetry complemented by wood work surfaces, with a Belfast sink and a corner breakfast bar setting for informal dining.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the first and second floors, with the luxurious principal suite situated on the first level with a vast, beautifully appointed bathroom. There are two further bedrooms and a modern family bathroom at this level with a stairway rising to the second level which comprises three rooms, two of which are linked. A shower room provides additional facilities on the ground floor, and is adjoined by a utility room which offers a home to domestic appliances. The timber outbuilding offers a supplemental space with flexible-uses and currently presents as a gym.

Timber gates within a boundary wall open onto a gravelled parking area alongside the timber outbuilding, with a majestic tree marking the centre of this entry point at the property. Paved terracing, edged by a low wall, adjoins the home offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation and a decorative arch is adorned by climbing plants. Positioned opposite the entrance doorway, this decorative frame indicates a route out onto the lawned garden. There is an expanse of grass providing plenty of space for children’s play and mature trees at the boundaries create a pleasing sense of seclusion in this outdoor sanctuary.

The property is situated in the semi-rural village of Horam which provides a convenience store, medical and veterinary practices, a recreation ground and village hall, which hosts a pre-school group and choral society; there is also a bowling club and golf at Horam Park. The town of Heathfield offers a good range of shops including three supermarkets, and Heathfield Markets which operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays, whilst slightly further afield, Royal Tunbridge Wells is a popular destination for shopping at The Pantiles, with cultural activities and dining at a range of restaurants. Commuters can access services at Buxted station for London Bridge and Victoria, and Stonegate station for journeys to London Bridge/Charing Cross/Cannon Street. Well-regarded schooling in the vicinity includes Maynards Green and Cross-in-Hand primary schools; Heathfield Community College, Bede’s Senior School, Skippers Hill Manor Prep-school, Moira House and Eastbourne College.
