Ewhurst Green, East Sussex, TN32

Brasses Farm is situated in an idyllic rural location surrounded by countryside, nestled within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with miles of footpaths to explore on the doorstep. The property is set within circa 9 acres of gardens and paddocks accompanied by a fantastic two bedroom holiday cottage that is ideal as a separate self-contained space for friends and family or holidaying guests.

This Grade II listed property dates from the late 14th century with later additions to the façade in the 18th century. The property is a typical Wealden farmhouse with a hip tiled roof, exhibiting many original features including wide wood floorboards, structural beams and timbers, wood latch doors and majestic inglenook fireplaces.

The accommodation is set across two floors with an entrance hall, cloakroom, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, family snug, laundry room with adjacent shower room and guest bedroom to the ground floor. On the first floor is a master bedroom suite, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is also a large cellar space which can be accessed from the driveway and is an ideal storage or workshop space. An additional outbuilding currently used for garden equipment could be converted to provide a home office subject to any necessary planning consent(s).

The gardens are a real delight for those green fingered amongst us. There are areas of lawn, a fully fenced vegetable patch, matures trees and shrubs and seasonal planting, abutted by a pastoral field which is utilised by a local farmer for grazing.

The holiday cottage is a converted former cart lodge and enjoys its own access and overlooks a pond. It is predominantly a single storey dwelling but does enjoy a mezzanine level which could be utilitsed in a number of ways. The cottage comprises an open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, two double bedrooms – one with en suite facilities, and a separate shower room. The cottage has an area of garden at the rear solely for the enjoyment of the cottage.
