This distinctive one-bedroom barn conversion is nestled within the serene Ashdown Forest, positioned along a tranquil country lane with beautiful lake views. Surrounded by lush countryside, this secluded property combines peace with convenience, being just a short 10-minute drive from the amenities of Uckfield. Originally constructed as an open-fronted pig barn about 200 years ago, it was transformed into a residential space approximately 15 years back and has successfully served as a holiday let, achieving rental income of up to £950 per week during peak seasons. It transitioned to residential status around six years ago, featuring electric heating and a private eco-digester sewage system for modern utilities.
The property boasts a gated entrance with ample off-road parking. Inside, you'll find a well-equipped kitchen and a cozy living area that includes a wood-burning stove and access to outdoor views through front doors. The spacious double bedroom offers convenience with connecting access to the shower room. A loft area adds extra storage potential.
Outside, the charming setting features a rear deck that may require updating or replacement, alongside an elevated seating area overlooking a picturesque stream. A timber storage shed complements the versatile brick-built outbuilding that has water, power, and lighting – perfect for various uses.
With its inherent character and charm, this property presents substantial opportunities for expansion and enhancement through appropriate planning permissions. Whether you envision it as your permanent home, rustic retreat, investment in holiday lettings, or development project, this barn conversion is an exceptional find in one of Sussex’s most desirable rural areas.
