Description

The property is a distinguished Sussex home of great character, originally dating from the 17th century and sympathetically extended over time to create a superb family residence. The property showcases period heritage through exposed oak timbers, an inglenook fireplace and thoughtful modern additions have introduced light, space and contemporary comfort.

The ground floor features a series of well-planned and welcoming spaces. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops and an Aga range is set within the original inglenook fireplace beneath exposed beams, complemented by a separate utility area, and downstairs cloakroom.

The impressive dining hall forms the heart of the home — a double-height space with exposed oak framing and a wood-burning stove, creating a dramatic yet inviting setting for family life and entertaining.

The principal reception rooms include a generous drawing room with French doors to the terrace, a wood-burning stove and elegant timber floors, together with a comfortable snug for relaxed evenings and a bright, dual-aspect study ideal for home working.

Upstairs, there is a galleried landing and the first floor hosts four spacious bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite with an en suite shower room and two broad bay windows overlooking the gardens and a stylish family bathroom. There are an additional two bathrooms on the first floor as well as the principal ensuite and the family bathroom. (4 bathrooms in total on the first floor). The second floor provides two additional versatile rooms, ideal for guest accommodation, a playroom or creative workspace.

Outside

Approached via a private driveway providing ample parking and a double carport, the property sits within beautiful gardens bordered by mature hedging and trees. Wide lawns, established planting and several sheltered terraces offer perfect spots for al fresco dining and quiet relaxation.

An excellent outbuilding with attached double carport sits separately within the garden — offering exceptional flexibility for use as a home office, gym or hobby room. In addition, there is a workshop with greenhouse providing further practical and versatile space.

The setting offers exceptional privacy and a tranquil rural backdrop within moments of Forest Row village centre.
