The Stream, Catsfield, Battle, East Sussex, TN33

This expansive country residence, showcasing its remarkable potential for renovation, sits majestically on an elevated site within the High Weald National Landscape. Known as Tilton, this property has a storied history that may trace back to the 17th century, with later additions from the 19th and 20th centuries contributing to its unique character. The home is set amidst approximately 10 acres of mature gardens and woodland, offering both tranquility and space for creative development. Spanning over 7,600 sq ft, the main accommodation features an array of rooms ripe for modernisation. The layout includes two ancillary spaces—a ground floor studio and a one-bedroom flat on the first floor—providing additional versatility for potential use or rental income. Although it has not been on the market for over half a century, its timeworn charm is highlighted by period details like high ceilings, fireplaces, and exposed beams that inspire restoration efforts. The ground floor comprises four well-proportioned reception rooms with access to York stone terraces and views of the sprawling grounds. Additional features include a breakfast room adjoining a kitchen equipped with gas appliances, along with utility rooms and cellar access. The upper floors house four bedrooms served by three bathrooms—including two en suite—and generous attic spaces. Approached via a scenic drive lined with mature trees, Tilton’s expansive outdoor areas include several outbuildings that need significant repair but hold promise as functional spaces or leisure areas. Notably, a former swimming pool awaits revitalisation alongside established gardens that have the potential to be transformed into beautiful landscapes once more. This property presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers looking to embark on substantial renovation work to create their dream home in a picturesque setting close to local amenities in Catsfield and just a short drive from Battle’s vibrant town centre.
