Description

The Mill House is an impressive Grade II listed country house offering nearly 5,000 sq ft of stylishly presented accommodation. Believed to date from the 17th century and significantly extended in the early 20th century, the property features painted brick elevations, a distinctive tower with decorative stucco, a sundial and a lovely radius window, plus a wealth of other architectural details.

The interior sensitively combines period features like exposed beams and large fireplaces with modern comforts and enjoying very good ceiling heights. The light-filled principal reception rooms boast beautiful herringbone parquet flooring and large bay windows overlooking the gardens. Notable spaces include a drawing room with a classically-inspired loggia, a comfortable sitting room, and a very palacious triple-aspect garden room with a wonderful vaulted ceiling.

The older portion of the house contains a formal dining room with a wood-burning stove, opening into a kitchen/breakfast area equipped with an oil-fired AGA and granite countertops. The ground floor is completed by a utility/boot room, cold room and boiler room.
On the first floor, the principal suite offers a dressing room and far-reaching views across the paddocks. Five further bedrooms (three en suite) and a versatile guest sitting room or seventh bedroom provide extensive family accommodation.

The Mill House Cottage & Sussex Barn
Situated to the east of the drive, the refurbished two-bedroom cottage benefitting from its own enclosed garden is currently a successful Airbnb but offers excellent potential for staff or guest use. To the north lies the "Mill House Stables," a handsome Grade II listed weatherboarded Sussex Barn which was once used as a squash court and stables, currently providing extensive storage and garaging, with potential for further conversion (subject to consents).

Approached via electronically operated gates and a gravelled driveway, the property is well-screened by mature hedging. The 12.13-acre grounds are a particular feature, divided into clearly defined zones. Formal gardens feature a wisteria-covered pergola, a box-hedged rose garden, and a well-stocked pond. Leisure facilities include a heated swimming pool sheltered by a yew hedge and an all-weather tennis court. The grounds further comprise a kitchen garden with a greenhouse, a water meadow, and approximately 12 acres of paddocks with a separate secondary entrance. The old mill stream runs along the southern boundary, feeding from the River Uck.

The rural village of Isfield offers a public house, farm shop, and the Lavender Line heritage railway. Nearby Uckfield and Lewes provide comprehensive shopping, independent cinemas, and leisure centers. The area is renowned for its sporting opportunities, including golf at East Sussex National, racing at Plumpton, and world-class opera at Glyndebourne. Transportation links are excellent with frequent rail services to London from Haywards Heath (from 42 minutes). The A23/M23 provides easy access to Gatwick Airport (16 miles) and the national motorway network. Highly regarded schooling is available locally, including Uckfield Community College, Lewes Old Grammar School, Ardingly College, and Cumnor House.
