Heathfield, East Sussex

Fine & Country are proud to bring to market this characterful five-bedroom detached period family home located in an enviable semi-rural position with stunning views of the South Downs and Pevensey Bay and surrounded by landscaped gardens, kitchen garden and grounds of approximately 2.5 acres. The property features a garage, tennis court, swimming pool and large brick-built barn with excellent potential, and is located in the small hamlet of Cade Street near the popular market town of Heathfield.

This beautiful family home, which also benefits from a private drive and ample parking, is in a private position set back from the road in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is believed to date back to the 17th century with later additions.

The house enjoys character features including exposed beams and timbers and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove. There is over 2300 square feet of internal living space set over three floors.

On entering the house through the front door, you enter a central hallway with a cloak room and a laundry room to your right while straight ahead you enter a well-proportioned study with French doors leading to the garden. From the entrance hall to your left you enter the dining room which leads into a conservatory while to the left-hand side of the property you find a double aspect sitting room and an open plan kitchen/breakfast room with an adjacent utility room.

Taking the stairs from the dining room to the first floor you find four bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a large ensuite shower room, walk in closet, and a large bay window overlooking the garden and taking in the stunning views. Also on the first floor is a modern family bathroom while stairs from the central hallway take you to the second floor where you find a further bedroom.

The house is approached via a private drive with a five-bar gate opening onto an extensive parking area and a timber built double garage.

What the Owner says:

Outside, the property is surrounded by mature landscaped gardens including a vegetable garden with raised beds and a large fruit cage. A cottage style garden and patio sit adjacent to the house which leads on to more formal gardens manly laid to lawn with a variety of mature trees, shrubs, and borders. Also, in the grounds you find a large tiled and heated swimming pool, tennis court, meadow and pond. The property further benefits from a wonderful opportunity to develop an existing brick-built barn to provide further accommodation/workshop/office as required, subject to the necessary permissions. Additionally, pre planning enquiries indicate an opportunity to significantly extend the ground floor footprint at the rear.
This wonderful property is in an enviable semi-rural position on the outskirts of the popular village of Heathfield in the small hamlet of Cade Street. The area boasts a variety of footpaths and pubs within walking distance.
The nearby market town of Heathfield provides comprehensive shopping facilities including several supermarkets, a butcher, banks, bakery, and post office. Royal Tunbridge Wells to the north and Eastbourne to the south offer excellent shopping facilities - both within about 15 miles.
