Kiln Lane, Isfield, Uckfield, East Sussex

Braunton Barn is a detached weatherboarded barn conversion offering almost 3,100 sq ft of accommodation arranged over two floors, sensitively combining modern amenities with a wealth of exposed wall and ceiling beams. The accommodation flows from a wooden-floored entrance hall with useful storage and cloakroom, and from a spacious interconnecting L-shaped double-height vaulted reception hall with exposed wooden flooring, full-height rear glazing overlooking the garden and galleried landing over. It comprises a sitting room with feature brickbuilt inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove and steps up to an inner hall, and to a study with a door to the forecourt. To the rear is an oak-framed garden room with bi-fold doors to the terrace and large sky lantern, accessible from both the reception hall and the family/music room. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a vaulted L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room with a range of wall and base units, complementary worktops and splashbacks, modern integrated appliances, a door to the rear terrace and a neighbouring fitted utility room with a door to the side terrace. Stairs rise from the reception hall to a feature galleried landing on the vaulted first floor, giving access to a principal bedroom with fitted dressing area and en suite bathroom with bath and separate shower and to a further double bedroom with adjacent family bathroom. A separate staircase rises from the study to a second landing, opening to the property’s two remaining double bedrooms, one also accessible from the galleried landing, and to a second family bathroom.

Having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached through a five-bar gate opening to a gravelled forecourt providing private parking and giving access to the double garage. The part-walled garden surrounding the property on three sides is laid mainly to lawn bordered by mature planting, hedging and trees and to the rear features a detached outbuilding with pump house, store and paved terrace, a swimming pool with paved surround and block-paved side and rear terraces. The whole is ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining and enjoys farreaching views over the enclosed paddock and small copses, one with pond, towards the South Downs beyond.

The property sits within striking distance of a local pub, The Halfway House, on the fringes of the soughtafter East Sussex village of Isfield which offers a popular farm shop and pubs. Further amenities are available in nearby villages including Buxted, which has a church, general store, GP surgery, pharmacy, florist, two pubs, a popular primary school, children’s playground and recreation ground. More extensive shopping, service and leisure amenities including golf clubs are available in Uckfield, Heathfield, Lewes And Royal Tunbridge Wells. Communications links are excellent: the nearby A26 gives access to key regional centres and the motorway network and Uckfield station offers regular direct services to central London in around an hour.
