Description
Description
Tarbys Farm is a modern farmhouse, ideally situated on a country road connecting the villages of Nutley and Danehill; the property is set behind electronically controlled gates and sits at the head of its almost six acres of grounds.
The farmhouse was built in 2010, and has brick elevations under a catslide tiled roof; it is approached via a wide path leading through the deep front lawn, to an open porch with heavy oak timber supports. It offers generously proportioned accommodation extending to approximately 2,465 sq ft. All the principal rooms have wonderful far-reaching views to the north, across the property’s private land to Ashdown Forest beyond. The interiors are well-presented and spacious, and there is tiled flooring with underfloor heating to the ground floor and wood flooring on the first floor.
The front door opens to an impressive vaulted reception hall, which extends the width of the house, with bi-fold doors at the rear framing the views and emphasizing the wonderful setting the house enjoys. Tarbys Farm offer excellent entertaining space with good flow, both internally and with the outside: the hall is open to the dual aspect living room, which also has bi-fold doors to the rear and large wood burning stove in an exposed brick fireplace with a heavy oak bressemer. Across the hall is the triple aspect kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is well-equipped with a wide range of contemporary units under granite and composite surfaces, with a wide breakfast bar with a solid wood prep area; appliances include a Smeg dual-fuel range cooker and dishwasher. The kitchen/dining room leads directly out to the outdoor kitchen and terrace, making it ideal for hosting guests.
From the hall, the open wood stairs lead up to the first floor. The principal suite has fitted wardrobes and bi-fold doors to the balcony; its en suite bathroom has a jet bath and separate walk in shower. There are three further bedrooms, two with built in wardrobes and open with eaves storge, and a family bathroom.
Gardens
The front garden is mainly laid to lawn; at the rear, the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with post and rail fencing and a stone paved terrace laid to the north and east elevations of the house. Set in the lawn is a covered well, which was once the pump house for Nutley village; it is believed to be Sussex’s deepest well.
The eastern terrace opens out, and is fitted with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and bar area including a pizza oven and space for a barbecue, with electricity points for fridges if required; a tiki hut provides a charming space to sit and enjoy the spectacular landscape.
The wide sandstone terrace has shingled beds with exotic palms, and offers plenty of space for garden furniture. It leads up to a sun deck with space for loungers, next to the large koi pond. On the other side of the pond is a sheltered seating area, offering a peaceful spot to relax.
Pool House
To the west of the house is the Pool House, housing the heated indoor swimming pool; it has a deep tiled surround which offers space for many loungers, a water feature and bi fold doors. There is space for gym equipment, and a changing/shower room. On the first floor is a mezzanine studio.
Outbuildings
The electrically operated gates open to a wide driveway around which the outbuildings and house are arranged; the driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and has a spur leading on to the paddocks.
Tarbys Farm offers a variety of versatile outbuildings, with huge potential for a range of uses. Immediately to the right is a courtyard, flanked by open bays which are currently used as machinery stores but have previously provided a covered seating area. The courtyard has been used to host large events and has is served by a single story timber outbuilding comprising a catering kitchen and storage; a raised deck to the rear provides a further seating area with a view of the koi pond. In the far corner is a two bay garage/storage.
On the west side of the drive is a large barn, and its first floor is classed as office space. Originally planned as residential, it offers a flexible suite of rooms which extends to approximately 5,763 sq ft. A pair of double doors open to a studio/entrance hall, which has steps up to a first floor open plan annexe with en suite facilities. The ground floor studio leads through to a large games room, which is fitted with a bar, creating an ideal party space, with a WC at the rear. At the southern end is a large garage, suitable for use as a machinery store and workshop, with power and water connected, and at the rear is a large store room, also accessed via the games room.
A separate entrance opens to a corridor, leading in turn to a second annexe, with a ground floor studio with kitchenette, and two bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. The corridor leads to stairs, which lead up to the office space, which has a kitchenette and WCs.
