Description

A rare opportunity to acquire one of East Sussex's most distinguished country houses - a Tudor Revival manor of genuine historical significance, exceptional scale and outstanding natural beauty, set along a private residents-only lane with sweeping views over the South Downs.
Believed to date from around 1550 and sympathetically remodelled in the Victorian era, this property extends to six bedrooms, five bath/shower rooms and a wealth of versatile reception and ancillary space, all set within mature, professionally landscaped grounds of real character and privacy.

The ground floor flows through a series of beautifully proportioned rooms: a show-stopping 2020 Tom Howley kitchen with AGA, Miele appliances and central island; an elegant formal dining room; a sun room; a sitting room with log-burning stove; a charming snug; an orangery; and a practical utility room with original slate surfaces. Period features throughout include exposed timbers, original wooden flooring, tiled fireplaces and deep skirting boards, all balanced by thoughtful, high-quality modern finishes.

The principal bedroom suite on the first floor features a cast iron fireplace, dressing room, private study and a balcony with views over the countryside and the adjacent 15th century Chalvington Church. Three further en suite bedrooms sit on the same floor, with an additional large bedroom on the second floor, all served by generous storage throughout.

The grounds are a genuine highlight. A fully refurbished heated swimming pool with air source heat pump sits within a walled Italianate terrace, bathed in sun from mid-morning until dusk. A lake fringed with mature trees, water lilies and nesting wildlife provides a tranquil centrepiece, while a formal parterre, kitchen garden, greenhouse, rose borders and distinct garden rooms framed by hedging and mature planting create a landscape of exceptional depth and beauty. A spectacular spring display of daffodils and bluebells completes the picture.

A triple timber-framed car port and garaging provide ample parking. Adjoining spaces currently house a full-sized snooker table, fitness area and extensive workshop, with further potential for a home office or ancillary accommodation above.
This is a home of rare distinction - rich in history, generous in scale, and perfectly positioned in the heart of the East Sussex countryside.
