Description

Property Description: Guide Price £1,350,000 - £1,400,000. This substantial Victorian detached property and former schoolmaster house is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 2.2 acres of land. Set over three floors the property still retains a host of original features throughout including high ceilings, cornicing, stained glass, original fireplaces and wooden flooring. Superb location in under 8 miles of equidistant reach of beaches and the Kent coastal towns of Rye, Hastings and Winchelsea.

The impressive gabled porch with original tiled flooring approach the central hallway accessing the principal rooms, the cellar and the original staircase leading up to a further two floors.

The light filled family/dining room is a grand 27ft x 15ft and spans the length of the house with an open fireplace, detailed cornicing and large dual aspect windows overlooking the gardens. This versatile space is ideal for hosting family gatherings and entertaining guests. The cosier living room across the hallway also has a magnificent open fireplace.

The recently renovated shaker kitchen is beautifully in-keeping with the style of the property and has quartz countertops, a Neff double eye-level oven, a 5-burner gas hob and a Neff dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen is a cloakroom, utility room and back porch with access to the garden. The large and functional utility room has additional storage, worktop space, sink and housing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Upstairs there are five generous double bedrooms, two of which have built in wardrobes. The principal bedroom has a large ensuite with a walk in shower and spacious vanity unit. Some of the bedrooms have decorative fireplaces with views across the gardens and open countryside. The family bathroom has a curved bath and walk in shower.

Outside: Set back from the road behind double electric gates, the house is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles.

Nestled within a vast 2.29-acre plot, the gardens surrounding the property and countryside views are overlooked from a secluded terrace. This south-west facing idyllic spot is perfectly suited for entertaining and al fresco dining with friends and family whilst enjoying the evening sun.

The well-maintained lawns, mature trees, and manicured hedging add to the charm of this enchanting outdoor space.

An outbuilding on the premises is currently used as an office and includes a WC plus extra storage. The potential to extend this structure into an annexe, subject to the necessary planning permissions, offers endless possibilities for those seeking additional accommodation or a separate living space. Additional outbuildings include a workshop, garden machinery and summerhouses with outdoor pool all with electrical supply.

The price includes transfer of a long established profitable business set just away from the property should the buyer wish to carry it on.

Location: Beacon House is approx. 0.5 miles from the small village of Broad Oak on the eastern side of East Sussex, closely bordering Kent. It has expanded around a crossroads providing convenient access to Hastings, Rye, Tenterden and Robertsbridge yet is still a popular location in its own right. The village pub, aptly named The Broad Oak is a family owned traditional country pub. There is a recreation ground, an independent bakery also selling local homemade produce and a village shop.

Heading South-East through rolling countryside, the well connected roads reach the ancient Cinque Port of Rye. The charming cobbled lanes are lined with medieval, half-timbered houses and a rich history. Rye is renowned for independent shops, cafes and restaurants including The Fig. There are also several thriving pubs including The Mermaid, The Globe Inn Marsh and The Ship. Or pick up some fish & chips to enjoy on the beach at Camber Sands, Winchelsea or Rye Harbour. The independent Kino cinema is in a converted church building. Much of the area surrounding Winchelsea is National Trust owned and a haven for wildlife.

Just outside Rye is Tillingham Vineyards, committed to regenerative farming with natural organic wines to enjoy tastings, exceptional views from the terrace with food from the restaurant or outside pizza barn.

To the South-West is the cultural hotspot of Hastings renowned for its history, trendy bars, shopping and cuisine.

Broad Oak is well placed for local state schools in Hastings and private schools in the area include Battle Abbey, Claremont in Bodiam, Eastbourne College, Vinehall near Robertsbridge and Marlborough House in Hawkhurst. Brede School in Broad Oak approx. ¼ mile away is Rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.

The train services for travel in any direction are excellent. Battle, Etchingham and Robertsbridge stations provide services via Tonbridge to London Charing Cross. Rye station has services to Eastbourne and Brighton or to Ashford International with a fast service to St. Pancras and Europe via Eurostar.

Local fact: Broad Oak is often referred to as Broad Oak Brede to avoid confusion with Broad Oak Heathfield!
