Grove Hill, Hellingly, Hailsham

Set in a peaceful enclave of long-established homes, this exceptional country property has been beautifully extended and renovated to offer the best of modern living in a tranquil, rural setting. Completed in 2024/25, the transformation was architect-designed and more than doubled the size of the original house, with every detail carefully considered for comfort, quality and style.

The heart of the home is a bright and spacious, triple-aspect kitchen, living and dining area, where French doors open onto a large alfresco terrace. Light fills this welcoming space, fitted with elegant Masterclass cabinetry in 'Willow' and 'Portland Oak' and topped with Silestone 'Lime Delight' worktops. Deep soft-close drawers, clever storage, and fully integrated Bosch and Neff appliances combine style with functionality, creating a space that's both beautiful and practical for everyday living and entertaining.

For quieter moments, a dual-aspect snug with a log burner offers a cosy retreat, while the expansive open-plan layout allows for flexible use, from elegant dining to relaxed lounging or a statement games area. Durable Karndean flooring runs throughout the ground floor, with underfloor heating and freshly painted walls creating a calm, cohesive finish.

A practical layout continues with a walk-in pantry, a spacious utility room with Siemens appliances, boot room, and guest powder room. These areas are ideal for country living, offering direct access from outside, perfect for muddy boots, pets, or sorting children's sports kit after a busy weekend.

Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms enjoy large windows, new carpets, and lovely views of the surrounding gardens and countryside. The principal suite is a peaceful retreat, offering far-reaching views of the fields and ancient woodland, along with its own dressing room and a beautifully appointed en suite. Featuring Reed Green cabinetry, a walk-in rainfall shower, soft-close storage and refined finishes, the en suite has been designed with relaxation in mind.

The remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom with built-in storage, a large shower and vanity unit, and a separate WC that retains a touch of vintage charm with original tiles and updated fittings.

Approached via a quiet, tree-lined country lane, the home sits behind electric gates with an extended driveway, oak-framed carport and powered garage. The landscaped garden wraps around the house and is both beautiful and functional, with Indian sandstone patios, herb planters and seasonal flowerbeds. A newly fenced rear lawn creates a safe, enclosed space for children and pets, while bluebell-filled woodland and a lily-covered pond attract abundant wildlife including deer, badgers and birds.

Beyond the main garden, the grounds which total two acres, include an orchard with apple and plum trees, raised vegetable beds, strawberry and berry patches, and a glasshouse. The changing seasons bring vibrant colour from roses, lavender, clematis, hydrangeas, rhododendrons and peonies. Several sheds, a wood store, summer house with fire pit, and outdoor taps add to the home's practical appeal. A retractable hose, lawn mower and log splitter are included in the sale.

A detached, brick-built studio with heating and power makes an ideal home office, gym, or creative space. French doors open to the garden, and a lean-to at the rear provides additional storage or workspace.

Located in the village of Hellingly, just minutes from Hailsham and Horam, the home offers countryside seclusion with everyday convenience. The Cuckoo Trail provides miles of walking and cycling, while nearby pubs, farm shops, and independent cafés enhance the lifestyle. The coast at Eastbourne is only 20 minutes away, with excellent schools, National Trust sites, and family attractions within easy reach.

This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully modernised, move-in-ready home in one of East Sussex's most picturesque and private settings.
