Laundry Lane, East Hoathly, Lewes, BN8

Providing excellent equestrian facilities, the property offers flexible accommodation perfect for multi-generational living with a pretty three/four bedroom unlisted farmhouse and a three bedroom oast house conversion (rated separately) that was converted in 2002. 

The sympathetically converted oast house has three bedrooms, a separate bathroom, a large open plan living room with central inglenook fireplace (with wood burning stove) and galleried landing, a kitchen with hand-made units and an AGA, a utility room, a living/dining room and separate wc. The property benefits from oak floorboards and underfloor heating throughout.

The farmhouse has three/four bedrooms (one benefitting from an en-suite bathroom), an entrance porch, reception hall, kitchen, living/dining room (with Rayburn), separate living room (with wood burning stove), a bathroom and separate w.c

The properties are arranged around a main stable yard with central weeping willow trees and a spring fed pond.  Excellent equestrian facilities include an outdoor riding arena, indoor riding arena and a variety of outbuildings including a separate barn, 25 stables as well as approx. 15.421 acres of grazing divided into six paddocks.  The property is easily accessible from the A22 but links to a net work of country lanes and bridleways within the immediate area.  

Situated on the rural outskirts of East Hoathly off a quiet country lane, the main gate leads to the farmhouse and connects around to the oast house and yard entrance with ample hard standing in front of the stable complex.  The property is the perfect equestrian home but could appeal to those looking to use the substantial buildings for alternative uses (subject to any necessary planning permission). 

Note: We are advised that both properties have private drainage systems and there is a footpath that crosses the eastern boundary.
