Northiam Road, Staplecross, TN32

Sideways is an ideal property for those looking for equestrian facilities.  It was constructed in 2008 by the current owners and includes modern features including hot water solar panels and underfloor heating throughout.  The property sits back from the road and therefore enjoys a peaceful rural location with a good degree of privacy.  Internally all the principle rooms are of a comfortable size, the kitchen/breakfast room is an impressive space being almost 29' in length, which is perfect for entertaining and has double doors leading out to the garden, enjoying the countryside views. The living room is centered around a fireplace with log burner and also has double doors leading out to the garden.  There is a generous study, which could easily be used as a fifth bedroom, and also on the ground floor is a former sunroom which has been converted to a shower room and kitchenette, making this an ideal space for multi-generational or dual family occupancy.  To the first floor are four bedrooms, the main enjoying views over the countryside and having an en-suite, there is also a family bathroom.  Outside the property has a long driveway with a large area of parking and turning together with a recently constructed detached open bay car barn.  The driveway continues to the rear of the property to the stable yard with 4 loose boxes, hay store and pole barn with mezzanine floor and tack room, all having the benefit of water, electricity and light.  The 9.8 acres sit to the south east of the house gently falling away to the south and in addition to the paddock there is a menage which measures 40m x 20m.

The village of Staplecross has a popular public house, local shop and primary school and the area is well connected being just a short distance from the A21 and a nearby station at Robertsbridge with regular services to Charing Cross and to the coast at Hastings.   The area is very well served for schools, both private and comprehensive at primary and second levels, sites of historical interest and recreational facilities.
