School Lane, Dane Hill

A rarely available country property comprising a detached house, detached annexe and double garage with office accommodation and approximately 8 acres of land and garden

Danehill is a much sought-after village set amidst the rolling countryside of the High Weald. The village benefits from a popular primary school, a public house and a strong community spirit, whilst nearby Haywards Heath and East Grinstead provide extensive shopping, leisure and transport facilities. There are a number of highly regarded state and private schools locally, together with excellent access to the Ashdown Forest.
Tucked away along a private lane in a wonderfully discreet semi-rural setting, ‘Pepper Alley’ presents a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile country property comprising a detached family home, detached annexe, substantial garage and office accommodation, all set within gardens and grounds extending to approximately 8 acres.

Offering enormous scope for enhancement and personalisation, the principal house provides well balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. The ground floor features three reception rooms alongside the kitchen, whilst the first floor offers three double bedrooms served by two bathrooms. In addition to the staircase, the first floor is also accessed via a fitted electric lift, enhancing accessibility throughout the home. The spacious detached annexe provides excellent accommodation for dependent relatives, guests or those seeking multi-generational living. Arranged mainly over one level, it comprises a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room, a generous sitting room opening onto a south facing terrace, a double bedroom and a modern en-suite shower room.

A detached double garage provides extensive storage and parking with a large first floor office above ideal for home working, hobbies or a variety of business uses. The mature gardens enjoy a southerly aspect and wrap around both the house and annexe, with expansive paved terraces providing excellent areas for outdoor entertaining. Predominantly laid to lawn, the grounds are interspersed with a variety of fruit trees and enclosed by established hedgerows, creating a high degree of privacy and seclusion. Beyond the gardens, a gate opens to a succession of fenced paddocks which make up the remainder of the acreage. Benefiting from separate vehicular access from Collingford Lane, the land offers considerable appeal for equestrian pursuits and smallholding interests.
