A substantial, Grade II listed village house, meticulously updated & immaculately presented throughout with beautiful gardens, in this highly-regarded village in East Sussex.
Description
Formerly the Admiral Vernon public house, the property with its iconic peg-tiled cat slide roof and weather boarded elevations is steeped in local history and believed to date back to the 18th century, or earlier, whilst reputedly a popular venue for local smugglers. The accommodation has been lovingly and comprehensively renovated by our clients, with meticulous attention to detail and the highest standards of presentation throughout, with contemporary fixtures and fittings that perfectly complement the abundance of period features, creating a very characterful but comfortable and luxurious family home.
The ground floor is arranged to offer three sizeable reception rooms, comprising a sitting room, formal dining room and the original reception hall which can be used to suit individual needs. There is a further cosy family room/TV snug accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room.
The impressive kitchen/breakfast room is light and bright fitted with attractive bespoke wall and base cabinetry to provide excellent storage, quartz worktops provide plenty of preparation space together with a range of integrated appliances, with space for a large fridge/freezer and range-style oven, a breakfast bar offers space for more informal dining. French doors open directly to the terrace and garden beyond. There is a large and well equipped utility room, a separate pantry and wine store, with a separate cloakroom completing the accommodation on this floor.
The first floor is home to the impressive principal suite, with a large double bedroom enjoying the elevated views to the front, fitted wardrobes, an adjoining dressing room which leads to the en suite bath and shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and a single bedroom/study/nursery on this floor served by the generous family bathroom. On the second floor there is a further double bedroom, with potential to create an ensuite in the adjoining attic space, subject to all necessary consents.
Outside - The beautiful south-facing garden is a notable feature of the property, having also had significant investment and attention from our clients with professional landscaping commissioned to expertly enhance the space with an abundance of planting providing colour and interest, and mature planting to the borders providing good screening from neighbouring property.
A paved terrace, accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room, spans the back of the house and offers a delightful and sheltered spot for outdoor entertaining and enjoyment of the setting with steps up to a good-sized area of lawn. A pretty pathway meanders through the garden to a further seating area toward the rear boundary which enjoys the wonderful raised view looking back at the house and the countryside beyond. There is also an enclosed kitchen/cutting garden with raised sleeper beds and an area for composting hidden toward the rear boundary.
To the front, wooden gates from the road lead to a gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles with access to the detached double garage.
