This unique rural residence offers a wealth of potential for refurbishment and investment, set on approximately 12.07 acres within the picturesque High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property encompasses over 3,300 sq ft of living space that marries historical character with modern-esque upgrades, making it an ideal candidate for those looking to add their personal touch or enhance its value.
While parts of the home have been recently refreshed, it retains original features that could benefit from careful restoration. The versatile layout includes spacious living areas such as a welcoming entrance hall, a sitting room with a fireplace, and a drawing room with access to gardens. The large kitchen/breakfast room serves as the hub of the home, providing ample opportunity for customization and expansion.
With seven bedrooms—including a principal suite boasting an en-suite and dressing room—and three bathrooms, this house could accommodate family living or be adapted for multi-generational needs. Notably, the self-contained annex above the triple garage enhances its investment potential as guest accommodation or a rental option.
The extensive external grounds feature expansive lawns, paddocks suitable for equestrian use, and woodland areas—providing opportunities for landscaping and further development. Enhancements such as an Ecoforest ground source heating system and solar panels already in place indicate that there is considerable scope to improve energy efficiency while potentially generating income through renewable energy production.
Furthermore, situated in an area steeped in cultural history linked to A.A. Milne’s beloved stories, this property not only offers a serene lifestyle but also represents a solid investment in land that can yield long-term returns through thoughtful renovation.
