This distinct detached Victorian home offers a wonderful balance of period charm and modern luxury, set within approximately 1.36 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds on the edge of Buxted.
The unlisted period property is believed to date back to 1870 and has been thoughtfully extended to create generous family living space, including a newly built extension housing a high-end kitchen/breakfast room. The fabulous bespoke kitchen has a range of handmade modern units with integrated appliances as well as a large central island with fitted bench seating to one side.
Two further reception rooms provide elegant areas for both everyday living and entertaining. There is also a useful utility room as well as an office/study, cloakroom and a boot room with a door to the rear.
One of the five bedrooms is conveniently located on the ground floor, with four further spacious bedrooms on the first floor as well as a family bathroom. Far-reaching views across the rolling Sussex countryside can be admired from the south-facing windows, including the principal bedroom which also benefits from an en suite shower room.
Planning Permission exists to remove the existing garage (which is not integrated) and build a two storey extension to the side and rear of the house.
Plans are available upon request and further information can be found at:
Ref: Wd/2015/2279
Outside, the house is approached via an electrically operated 'roll-back' gated driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles and leading to a detached double garage, ensuring both convenience and security
The gardens and grounds are a true highlight of this home. Professionally designed and landscaped, they include a stylish al fresco dining terrace with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen as well as ambient lighting throughout the grounds for evening enjoyment.
The expansive lawned areas are framed by mature, colourful trees and shrubs. The beautiful swimming pool is enclosed by manicured hedges, complemented by a charming gazebo giving a covered/shaded seating area. There is also a detached building providing a store/pump house/workshop with attached log store.
The gardens lead on to an enchanting stretch of ancient woodland, bordering the lower edge of the plot, and in all the property extends to about 1.36 acres.
