1 The Gables, Argos Hill – A Rare Blend of Timeless Elegance and Contemporary Living

A beautifully reimagined ground floor apartment, set within a historic country house, offering over 1100 sq ft of stylish, character-filled living.

Tucked away in the enchanting hamlet of Argos Hill, near the heart of Rotherfield and a stone’s throw from Crowborough, lies 1 The Gables, a unique opportunity to own a slice of English country charm.

Once part of a grand country house, the building likely dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century, reflecting the architectural styles of that period. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom ground floor apartment has been thoughtfully refurbished, preserving a wealth of period features while embracing a modern, effortless lifestyle.

From the private porch, you step through the stable door, and are welcomed by a black-and-white tiled foyer - currently used as a peaceful office space - setting the tone for the character and versatility that flows throughout.

The property unfolds into a stunning open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, where original restored flooring and a feature fireplace create a warm and inviting heart to the home. The kitchen is a culinary delight: a central island lit by statement pendant lights, integrated NEFF appliances, a SMEG oven, and generous worktops – perfect for both intimate meals and lively gatherings.

Picture yourself enjoying a morning coffee or evening supper while gazing through wraparound windows across sweeping gardens and far-reaching countryside. It’s not uncommon to spot deer families and abundant wildlife just beyond your window.

The thoughtful layout offers space and flexibility:

A spacious master bedroom flooded with natural light from a huge window, complete with built-in wardrobes

A stylish wet room featuring a contemporary waterfall shower

Two further well-sized bedrooms (one easily adaptable as a home office or guest roo

A chic family bathroom with quality fittings and serene décor

Throughout, no detail has been overlooked – from the new electrics and elegant lighting to the careful restoration of original materials, bringing the past and present seamlessly together.

Outside:

The property enjoys breath-taking communal gardens directly accessed from the property, meticulously maintained and offering plenty of space for relaxation or summer gatherings. Including, private plot of woodland - perfect for a personal outbuilding. A private garage with an electric door (ideally located closest to the apartment), additional off-road parking, and the benefit of a well-organised, community-driven residents' management company complete the package.

Adding to its appeal, The Gables is home to a wonderful close-knit community, where neighbours look out for one another, lend a hand when needed, and come together for social events and communal projects. It’s a place where people genuinely care – a real sense of community spirit that makes living here extra special.
