Maynards Green, Heathfield, East Sussex

Dating from the 18th century, West Street Farmhouse is a handsome red brick family home offering almost 2,200 sq ft of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged in an L-shape over two floors and sensitively combines modern amenities with a wealth of original features including casement glazing, exposed wall and ceiling beams and original fireplaces.
Configured to provide an ideal and characterful
family and entertaining space, the accommodation
flows from a porch and welcoming entrance hall and briefly comprises a triple aspect drawing room with woodburning stove, a rear aspect study and a large triple aspect parquet-floored sitting room with a feature exposed stone inglenook open fireplace with large bressummer beam over. A door from the sitting room opens to a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with a range of wall and base units, an Aga, integrated appliances, space for a good-sized table and doors to a generous neighbouring fitted utility room and to a side hall with useful cloakroom.
A concealed staircase rises from the sitting room to a generous first floor landing with useful storage, giving access to a principal bedroom with fitted storage, a further double bedroom with walk-in storage and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower. A second concealed staircase rising from the drawing room gives access to the property’s two remaining double bedrooms, one also accessible from the main
landing, and to a second family bathroom.

Having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is
approached through a five-bar gate over a gravelled rear driveway leading past the house to the front aspect, providing private parking and giving access to a detached double garage with attached wood store. The formal garden to the front and rear of the property is laid mainly to lawn bordered by wellstocked flower and shrub beds and features numerous seating areas, a further wood shed and a paved front aspect terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining and enjoying far-reaching views over the property’s 2.63 acres of stock-fenced and hedged
pasture and rolling Sussex countryside beyond. The acreage also incorporates a large 1,277 sq ft brickbuilt outbuilding comprising an open-sided barn with three loose boxes and a further open-sided store, set adjacent to the main house.
