Spring Lane, Burwash, Etchingham

This grand Edwardian home offers a rare blend of heritage, comfort, and everyday practicality, set within around 1.14 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds in the heart of the High Weald. Built in 1900 and extended in 1925, it has evolved from private residence to school and outward bound centre, and back again to a gracious family house that feels effortlessly suited to modern life. Today, high ceilings, period detailing, and newly installed double glazed windows work together to create light filled, uplifting spaces from the moment you step inside.

A wide entrance hall and elegant reception space set the tone, flowing into a study, a cosy snug, and a series of generous living areas that lend themselves equally to everyday life and special occasions. Warm wooden panelling in the foyer, a dining room made for long suppers, and a drawing room with bay windows and a wood burning stove all speak to the home's heritage, while the kitchen and breakfast room, centred around an AGA and opening onto a sheltered courtyard - form the relaxed heart of the house.
Practical touches, including a utility room, pantry, and a cellar with wine store, keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Upstairs, a beautiful staircase rises to a spacious landing lit from above, with bookshelves that turn it into a quiet reading spot. The principal suite enjoys sweeping countryside views, a private balcony, a well appointed en suite, and an adjoining dressing room, while further bedrooms and bathrooms provide flexible space for family and guests across the first and top floors. Light, storage, and thoughtful layout make every room feel welcoming, whether used for sleeping, working, or hobbies.

Outside, the gardens are designed for living as much as for looking, with manicured lawns, mature trees, a magnificent 100 year old Atlas Cedar, and a secluded swimming pool with a solar powered walkable safety cover. There is space for croquet, informal cricket, children's games, and quiet evenings in the courtyard, alongside a triple garage, garden store, and generous driveway for practical ease. Recent upgrades, including double glazed windows and doors (2017-2019), modern bathrooms, and a new boiler and oil tank in 2023, bring peace of mind without diluting the soul of this period home.

All of this sits on the edge of a thriving village within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with a welcoming high street, local pubs, farm shops, excellent schools, and the rich cultural heritage of nearby Bateman's, Rudyard Kipling's former home. With Heathfield, Uckfield, Tunbridge Wells, and the Sussex coast within easy reach, this is a countryside home that offers space, beauty, and a genuine sense of belonging - a place to gather generations, celebrate seasons, and create new stories in a house with true warmth and history.
