Description
Built in the late 1800s and extended in 1910, the house has been meticulously restored to preserve its heritage, with original features such as marble mantels, fireplaces, and bespoke tiles, lovingly reinstated. The current owners have undertaken extensive renovations since 1997, yet there remains ample opportunity to further personalise the property, including the potential for a self-contained annexe or the addition of more bedrooms and bathrooms.
Upon arrival, the property offers a sense of calm, privacy, and connection to nature. The expansive lawn, wildlife pond, and open skies create a tranquil atmosphere, while the home itself exudes a timeless elegance. Inside, high ceilings and period details create a welcoming environment, with natural light flowing through every room. A glazed porch leads into an entrance hall, where the original French Godin stove and marble mantel set the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout. The refined décor complements the character of the space, enhancing its timeless beauty.
To the right of the entrance, the grand drawing room offers stunning views of the South Downs and Firle Beacon through large windows, while a black marble fireplace salvaged from a Victorian villa adds depth to the room. Across the hall, the sitting room is a cosy retreat, with garden views and a wood-burning stove providing warmth during the colder months. The dining room, with locally crafted wood panelling and a brick fireplace, creates an inviting space for entertaining, while the farmhouse-style kitchen, featuring a four-oven Aga, offers both charm and practicality.
Beyond the kitchen, a side door leads to a barn-style room currently used as a gym and yoga space. With vaulted ceilings and windows framing views of the garden, this versatile space holds tremendous potential for a variety of uses, including the creation of a self-contained annexe or studio.
Upstairs, the principal suite offers a tranquil retreat with sweeping views of the Downs, a large ensuite bathroom, and plentiful built-in wardrobes. Three additional bedrooms, each filled with natural light and offering magnificent views, provide ample space for family and guests. The second floor, with additional rooms that could be converted into a bathroom or walk-in wardrobe, offers further potential.
Outside, the gardens are divided into four distinct areas, blending structured spaces for entertaining with wild beauty. A fully insulated summerhouse, complete with power and internet, offers the perfect space for a home office or studio. The outbuildings provide further opportunities, with a gym currently in place and potential to expand into a self-contained annexe.
Though the property offers a peaceful, rural setting, it is far from remote. Just a short walk to Berwick station with direct trains to Lewes, Brighton, and London, the location provides the best of both worlds. The village, with its sense of community and excellent local amenities, offers a range of schools, pubs, and cultural events, while the nearby South Downs National Park invites endless outdoor pursuits. A popular pub is also within walking distance, perfect for a relaxed evening out.
Whether relaxing in the light-filled rooms, strolling across the Downs, or hosting gatherings in the expansive gardens, this country home offers a rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle of beauty, comfort, and serenity.
