Maxfield Lane, East Sussex, TN35

Sunrise is tucked away along a quiet lane in the sought-after village of Three Oaks, Sunrise is a home that has been shaped by the rhythm of country life. Set within just over half an acre, it offers the kind of space that invites you to slow down, spend time outdoors and enjoy the changing seasons, while remaining within easy reach of Rye, Hastings and the East Sussex coast.

For those looking to leave behind the pace of town life without feeling isolated, or for buyers seeking generous single-storey living with room to welcome family and friends, this is a home that feels both practical and deeply peaceful.

Mornings naturally begin in the kitchen and dining room, where the light pours in, before drifting out into the garden after breakfast. Much of daily life revolves around the outdoors, whether that's tending the borders, enjoying the privacy of the lawns or simply watching the remarkable variety of wildlife that has made the garden its home. Green and spotted woodpeckers, buzzards, tawny owls, goldcrests, nuthatches, wrens and bats are all regular visitors, making this feel like a place where nature is part of everyday life rather than something you have to travel to find.

The sitting room is the heart of the home. During the colder months the multi-fuel burner creates a warm, cosy atmosphere, providing central heating throughout the house from its double-skinned boiler system. It's the room the current owner naturally gather in each evening, while the conservatory and dining room come into their own through the brighter months, enjoying some of the best natural light in the house.

The accommodation has been arranged with flexibility in mind. Three bedrooms each benefit from their own en-suite facilities, making the layout equally suited to visiting family, multi-generational living or buyers who simply appreciate everyone having their own space. The generous kitchen and dining room provides an easy place to work from home when needed, supported by EE broadband, while the utility room and additional cloakroom help keep everyday life running smoothly.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the bungalow, creating different places to sit depending on the time of day. The sun moves across the garden from early morning before slipping behind the surrounding trees in the late afternoon, while mature hedging and established planting provide a reassuring sense of privacy. The large level lawn offers plenty of room for keen gardeners, grandchildren to play or simply enjoying the open outlook with little interruption beyond birdsong.

Practicality has not been overlooked. A substantial driveway provides extensive parking alongside a detached double garage with power and lighting, making space for vehicles, hobbies or workshop use.

Three Oaks continues to be one of the area's most desirable villages, offering a genuine sense of community alongside a village pub, railway station with services towards Hastings and Rye, countryside walks including the nearby 1066 Country Walk, and straightforward access to Battle and the wider East Sussex countryside. It's a location that balances rural living with everyday convenience.

When asked what they will miss most, the owner didn't mention the house first. They spoke about the quiet, the calm, the birds and the feeling of living alongside nature. It is that sense of peace, more than anything else, that makes Sunrise such a special place to call home.
