Steep Road, Crowborough, TN6

Occupying a privileged, semi-rural position surrounded by uninterrupted countryside views, a unique and impressive conversion of a Victorian stable block; superbly designed for modern living with aspects of the original architecture blending seamlessly with countless contemporary design features. This property offers a lifestyle that balances seclusion with modern convenience.
With picture-postcard rural outlooks in a quiet location between Crowborough and Rotherfield, This extraordinary and highly individual property offers a contemporary way of life. Converted in recent years, the present owners have lovingly transformed this unique building–the former stables of 1st Baronet Lindsay-Hogg of Rotherfield Hall–creating a home that is both impressive and welcoming.
The accommodation, which is arranged across two floors, combines areas of open plan space and private living areas extending to over 2,000 sq ft and all presented beautifully in modern tones. Of particular note is the Sitting/Dining room/Kitchen - a stunning vaulted space featuring a central cast-iron log-burner and a striking spiral staircase. Tall bi-folding doors frame the garden and open directly onto a wide, natural slate terrace providing an extensive space in which to sit, dine and entertain. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of cabinetry under oak work surfaces and there is a separate utility room with stable-door opening to the garden. The snug/office is triple-aspect with a feature fireplace and wood-burning stove. There are two attractive bedrooms, both with brick-built fireplaces. A sizeable, luxury fitted bathroom with walk-in double shower serves these rooms exceptionally well and completes the ground floor. Upstairs, accessed via the spiral staircase and minstrels’ gallery overlooking the impressive reception space, the principal bedroom suite exudes tranquillity and calm with a beautiful private bathroom and dressing room. Technologies include gas fired, water underfloor heating, bespoke lighting solutions with side-lamp loops, CAT-5 cabling, high-speed FTTH broadband and electrical cabling extending across the garden for a potential home office/carport.

Outside

With a large gravelled area providing parking for a number of vehicles, a pathway leads through a rose arch into well-stocked gardens to the front of the house and an idyllic, private courtyard with ample space for eating and relaxing. The gardens to the rear are delightful, long and with a large area of lawn and the many established plants, shrubs and trees provide a great deal of seclusion - an almost secret area of garden looks out directly onto uninterrupted countryside views. There is also a useful outside store and potting shed for any garden enthusiasts! The property bathes in sunlight from dawn until dusk due to its hilltop location.

Situation

The Stables offers the best of both worlds: rural tranquillity within walking distance of the town and local amenities. The charming village of Rotherfield is close by for immediate needs, while the centre of Crowborough is just over 2 miles away with its more substantial facilities. The bustling and fashionable Spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells lies 8 miles to the north and Crowborough train station for London commuters is within walking distance, as is the Wheatsheaf pub.
There is an excellent choice of schools in the area for all ages including a local Outstanding Ofsted-rated secondary school. The walking and outdoor opportunities afforded by the location of this property within the heart of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are endless
