Top Road, Hooe, Battle, East Sussex

A truly exceptional seven-bedroom country residence, originally dating from 1912 and comprehensively transformed inside and out to create an impressive modern home, whilst carefully retaining the character and charm of its original heritage.

Set in a wonderfully private position in Hooe, this outstanding property offers a rare combination of substantial accommodation, exceptional leisure facilities and a genuine sense of rural seclusion. From almost every window, the outlook is one of open countryside, rolling farmland and greenery, creating a home that feels completely removed from the outside world.

The property successfully combines the best of both worlds. Its original character has been retained through the fabric and proportions of the house, while a complete programme of modernisation has created a contemporary, luxurious and highly practical family home. The result is a property that feels sympathetic to its 1912 origins without compromising on the standards expected of modern living.

Approached into the property, the scale of the accommodation becomes immediately apparent. The ground floor has been thoughtfully designed around family life and entertaining, with a particularly impressive kitchen and breakfast room forming the heart of the home. Newly fitted and finished to a high standard, this is a bright and sociable space with ample room for everyday dining, while the adjoining utility room provides excellent practical space.

The main reception accommodation is equally impressive, with a substantial lounge/dining room providing an elegant setting for both entertaining and relaxing. Large windows make the most of the surrounding countryside, while a separate games room offers further flexibility for family life or entertaining.

Technology has also been seamlessly incorporated throughout the property. The lighting operates via a smart home system, while the curtains can be voice activated in the bedroom, allowing much of the home's functionality to be controlled effortlessly. The combination of modern technology and the property's original character creates a particularly impressive balance between traditional and contemporary living.

Moving upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with five well-proportioned bedrooms, including beautifully appointed en-suite facilities, together with further family bathroom accommodation. The upper floor provides a further two bedrooms, bringing the total to seven bedrooms and offering considerable flexibility for family, guests or home working.

Throughout the house, the refurbishment has been completed to an exceptional standard, creating a home that is genuinely turn-key. Modern finishes, high-quality fittings and contemporary comforts sit naturally alongside the property's original character, creating a balance that is increasingly difficult to find.

Outside & Leisure:
Outside, the property truly comes into its own. The private grounds provide a remarkable sense of space and seclusion, with uninterrupted countryside views extending from the house and surrounding gardens. There is no feeling of being overlooked; instead, every aspect of the setting is defined by open fields, mature greenery and the peaceful Sussex countryside.
The grounds also incorporate a pond, adding another attractive feature to the gardens and further enhancing the property's rural setting.

The property benefits from an exceptional indoor swimming pool complex, complete with a substantial pool room, separate shower room, gym and pump room, creating an impressive private leisure facility rarely found within a residential property.

The pool has been designed with entertaining in mind, featuring a top-of-the-range sound system and integrated feature lighting, with the lighting capable of changing colour and being controlled by voice command or remotely via telephone. It creates an impressive space for both relaxed family use and entertaining.

A double story, triple garage provides extensive parking and storage, but has also been cleverly configured to offer significant future flexibility. The building has already been insulated to building regulation standards and benefits from an existing soil pipe, meaning it lends itself particularly well to potential conversion into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. The garage is fitted with electric up-and-over doors, smart voice-activated lighting and operates as part of the property's wider smart-home system. There is also an electric vehicle charging point, adding further convenience for modern family living.

In addition, there is a separate insulated summerhouse/storage building, complete with its own running water and electricity. This versatile space could be used as a dedicated home office, studio, entertaining area or potentially provide useful accommodation for visiting guests, depending on the purchaser's requirements and any necessary consents.

The combination of the main house, private leisure facilities, extensive garage provision, versatile additional building, landscaped grounds and outstanding countryside setting makes this a particularly rare offering.

For those looking for a substantial home with genuine character, modern luxury, intelligent technology, complete privacy and countryside views from almost every room, this is a property that deserves to be viewed.

LOCATION: Situated in the desirable village of Hooe, close to the historic town of Battle, the property enjoys a wonderful balance of rural tranquillity and accessibility. Battle offers a range of independent shops, cafés, schools and a mainline railway station with connections to London, while the surrounding countryside provides beautiful walking routes and outdoor pursuits. The Sussex coastline is also within easy reach, making the property an exceptional lifestyle home in a highly sought-after location.
