Description

This expansive Victorian property holds significant potential for renovation, nestled within approximately 26 acres of picturesque grounds. The residence boasts a rich historic character, with much of its internal layout and features preserved since its construction over a century ago. The house encompasses over 5,300 sq ft and includes multiple reception rooms, seven bedrooms, and four bathrooms, along with an unconverted attic space that could be transformed into additional living areas. While the interior is in need of comprehensive modernisation, it retains many original elements such as tiled fireplaces and spacious proportions that can be highlighted during refurbishment. The grounds feature magnificent gardens previously designed for leisure and recreation, including a sunken tennis court and manicured lawns adorned with mature trees. There are various outbuildings, including a sizeable Victorian store that could serve multiple purposes post-renovation. The expansive land also offers opportunities for further development or agricultural use, making it an ideal investment for those looking to enhance both the residential and commercial appeal of the property. Set in the scenic High Weald Area near Ashdown Forest, this estate is conveniently located just miles away from local amenities while maintaining a sense of seclusion amidst nature. This property is perfect for someone looking to create their dream home or capitalize on investment potential in an attractive location.
