School Lane, Hadlow Down, Uckfield, East Sussex, TN22

An attractive, detached, edge-of-village property constructed in the early 1900s, and cleverly extended and renovated in the 1990s, with an exceptional level of traditional craftsmanship.

Set in a substantial plot of approximately 0.5 acres with mature secluded garden, gated driveway and substantial double garage.

Situated in a highly desirable lane opposite the village recreation ground, just a short walk from the local primary school and village pub. Buxted Railway Station, with direct lines to London, is approximately five minutes’ drive away.

This characterful four bedroom family home offers spacious, adaptable and functional living spaces, that can be tailored to various family needs, along with breathtaking far-reaching views from the first floor.

The ground floor flows seamlessly between the living areas, with all principal rooms opening onto the garden.

A large and airy entrance hall, with a beautiful oak low-rise staircase and galleried landing above, simply takes your breath away.

The inviting sitting room boasts an open, feature fireplace and exposed timber beams, adding to its character, while French doors provide access to the garden, and windows throw in light from three sides.

The kitchen is a highlight, with a sizeable central island, generous storage and prep space, and ample room for breakfast table and chairs.

The adjacent light-filled formal dining room again has French doors that lead to a terrace (complete with covered well), ideal for entertaining.

Additionally, a versatile laundry / utility room leads off the kitchen, complemented by a delightful walk-in larder. A boot room porch off the kitchen provides covered access to the garden, adding convenience for family life.

Access to the impressive double garage is via a side porch, and provides ample parking, work spaces, and the potential – subject to planning permission – for conversion to family or other living space. The large accessible drive provides ample vehicular access.

Upstairs, off the impressive galleried landing, the principal bedroom suite is spectacular, spanning the length and breadth of the double garage beneath. The entrance area offers multiple built-in wardrobes, leading to a useful space currently set up as a home office, but which could very easily provide for a lovely nursery or extended dressing area. The exceptionally spacious bedroom is just beyond, boasting a beautiful airy vaulted ceiling, and benefitting from a luxury en-suite with both jacuzzi bath and walk-in shower. The dormer windows present lovely views over the rolling countryside.

There are three additional double bedrooms, one of which includes its own en-suite bathroom. The remaining two – both double aspect - share a large family bathroom. Bedroom 3 enjoys a walk-on Juliet balcony, with views over the property’s substantial garden.

Set in approximately half an acre of secluded, mature garden enclosed by healthy hedgerows and secure fencing, there is plenty of space for entertaining and for children to run and play. A large versatile garden shed sits at the end of the garden, with access to the ‘green lane’ beyond, and the garden provides space for growing vegetables, out of sight of the house.

Set in a rural location, on the edge of a historic village, with far reaching views across the Sussex High Weald from the first floor, this in an idyllic setting for those who are seeking fresh air, as well as the convenience and community of village life, and easy-access to London.
