Witherenden Hill, Burwash

A detached country house (not Listed) of 2,804 sq ft, requiring significant refurbishment, in a superb elevated location with no immediate neighbours, potential for panoramic views and set within an overgrown garden and paddock - in all about 4.2 acres and only 1 mile from Stonegate station.

A detached house, believed to date from the 1930’s, set back from Witherenden Hill in an elevated location with the potential for panoramic views. The property now requires significant refurbishment and improvement but could ultimately provide extremely generous accommodation of 2,804 square feet over two floors with an additional large attic room.
The main features of the property include:
• The front door leads to the enclosed porch with quarry tiled floor. The inner vestibule has a quarry tiled floor and a glazed panelled door to the entrance hall with oak parquet flooring and staircase to the first floor.
• The sitting room has a wooden mantelpiece with tiled slips and hearth, oak parquet flooring, and a double aspect.
• Double doors lead through to the drawing room with door to the hall, oak parquet flooring, wooden mantelpiece with tiled slips and hearth, and doors to the garden room.
• The dining room has parquet flooring, a wooden mantelpiece with brick chimney breast, and a double aspect.
• The kitchen/breakfast room is currently unfitted and now requires full updating. There is a door to the cellar (currently no staircase in place) and a further door opening to the secondary staircase leading up to the attic room.
• Generous cloakroom with WC and wash basin.
• A broad central staircase leads to the first floor landing with a panelled timber door to bedroom 1 which has a cast iron fireplace with grate and tiled hearth, and exposed floorboards. The adjoining bathroom has a bath, wash basin and WC (now requiring updating).
• There are three further bedrooms, all with exposed floorboards. Bedroom 2 is a large double aspect room with wooden mantelpiece and tiled hearth, and attractive views over the countryside.
• Bedroom 3 has a cast iron fireplace with mantelpiece, and bedroom 4 is at the front of the house.
• Bathroom 2 also requires modernisation and has a panelled bath with mixer taps and shower attachment, wash basin, WC, and a cupboard housing the water tank.


Outside
To the side of the house is a ground floor extension with doors to the front and side. This is currently used as a storage room but could comfortably serve as an office.

New Woodknowle is approached from the road via a driveway which culminates at the front of the property. The gardens are overgrown, and now form a lightly wooded setting.
The site enjoys an elevated situation, and adjoining the grounds to the north is a paddock extending to about 2.4 acres, from where exceptional views are enjoyed over the surrounding countryside. Within the gardens is a selection of dilapidated outbuildings.
In all about 4.2 acres.
