Straight Lane, Hooe, Battle, East Sussex, TN33

This property is a beautifully positioned, detached home of period origin, that has been previously extended, but still offers a unique opportunity to create a yet larger, contemporary-style home, subject to planning permissions. This property does require further works and updating but is set on 2.85 acres and enjoys stunning south-westerly views over unspoilt farmland, along with stabling, outbuildings and a paddock.

The property features brick elevations under a slate roof, oil-fired central heating and sealed unit double glazing.

The property has an entrance conservatory, where a glazed front door leads from the front terrace into an L-shaped space, with brick to quarter-height walls and a tiled floor, offering lovely views of the grounds and surrounding countryside.

The original period sitting room is located in the older part of the house and is distinguished by an impressive inglenook fireplace. The fireplace features an oak beam, brick canopy and hearth, creating a cosy and traditional atmosphere. The study offers a peaceful workspace with a wood-burning stove and beautiful views of the countryside.

The utility room is well-appointed with work surfaces that include a circular sink, and there is ample space and plumbing for a washing machine. A large shelved cupboard provides additional storage.

To the rear, the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a deep, glazed sink set into wooden work surfaces, along with cupboards, drawers and a corner larder. There is also a Belling electric range-style cooker, opposite which, double-glazed doors open onto the rear terrace and garden.

From the kitchen, steps lead down to the inner hall, where a large shelved cupboard and the Worcester oil-fired boiler are located. Also on the ground floor, the second and third bedrooms are well-designed, with the second bedroom featuring a built-in wardrobe and glazed door leading to the garden, whilst the third bedroom is a spacious, double-aspect room, also with glazed doors leading to the front of the house. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite, which includes a bath with shower attachment and a tiled shower cubicle, as well as a heated towel rail.

A staircase from the hall also leads to the first floor, where the main bedroom is located and offers double-aspect views through balcony-style windows. It includes built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom featuring a roll-top bath and shower cubicle.

The property includes a selection of outbuildings, accessed via a spur off the driveway, leading to a concreted area. These include, an open-ended tractor barn and a large barn with timber double doors, concrete flooring and power connections. There are also two loose boxes and a feed store, all constructed of timber with felted roofing.

This wonderful property is set back from a quiet country lane, accessed via a private driveway and has no immediate neighbours. This home boasts exceptional rural views, ample parking and is surrounded by beautiful gardens, mostly laid to lawn with mature trees such as oak, cherry, apple and ash.

To the south lies a paddock of about 2.5 acres, with water supply, surrounded by farmland, and offering far-reaching views to the sea in the distance. The total land area is approximately 2.85 acres. Viewings highly recommended.
