This charming one-bedroom barn conversion is nestled in the tranquil Ashdown Forest, offering a peaceful retreat along a serene country lane with scenic views of a lake. Originally constructed as an open-fronted pig barn around 200 years ago, it underwent conversion approximately 15 years back and has since served successfully as a holiday let, achieving weekly earnings of up to £950 during peak season. It transitioned to residential use six years ago, further enhancing its appeal.
The property is accessed through a gated entrance that provides ample off-road parking. Inside, you will find a functional kitchen and a cozy living area complete with a wood-burning stove and direct access to the front. The generously-sized double bedroom connects to both the shower room and the main living space. Additionally, there's a loft area that offers extra storage.
Externally, the property boasts an inviting natural environment with potential for improvement; while there is a decked area at the rear that could use updating or replacement, it leads to an elevated seating deck overlooking a charming stream. Also on site is a timber storage shed and a versatile brick-built outbuilding equipped with power, water, and lighting—ideal for various uses.
This property not only retains its unique charm but also presents remarkable opportunities for expansion or further renovation (subject to planning consents). Its potential makes it suitable for varied purposes: as a full-time residence, weekend getaway, investment rental property, or development project in one of Sussex's most desirable rural areas.
