A historic Grade II Listed three bedroom medieval farmhouse with period features typical of this era together with 1.76 acres of landscaped gardens.
| ATTACHED MEDIEVAL FARMHOUSE | GRADE II LISTED | BETWEEN UCKFIELD AND MARESFIELD | 1.76 ACRES OF LANDSCAPED GARDENS AND GROUNDS | WEALTH OF PERIOD FEATURES | NUMEROUS OUTBUILDINGS | LARGE POND | OIL FIRED HEATING | PRIVATE DRAINAGE | COUNCIL TAX: BAND F |
| ENTRANCE HALL | DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOM | CELLAR | SITTING ROOM | KITCHEN/DINING ROOM | THREE FIRST FLOOR BEDROOMS | CLOAKROOM |
SITUATION: Nestled in a semi-rural position between the thriving village of Maresfield and the town of Uckfield. Maresfield lies adjacent to the picturesque Ashdown Forest, with its village shop providing most everyday goods, post office, primary school, local inn, church, recreation ground and village hall. Uckfield has an extensive range of local services and amenities including shops, supermarkets, post office, banks, bus depot and mainline station to London Bridge/Victoria (in just over an hour). Other mainline rail stations can also be found nearby at Buxted, Crowborough, East Grinstead and Haywards Heath. For road users the A22 and A26 give good access in all directions. Excellent state and independent schooling is available for all ages in the vicinity. Leisure facilities include Freedom Leisure, East Sussex National Gold Course and the picturesque Ashdown Forest with its scenic walks over 5000 acres of heathland.
DESCRIPTION: A wonderful opportunity to acquire a historic Grade II Listed medieval farmhouse sympathetically and extensively restored by the current owners. With period origins understood to date back to the 16th Century there is a wealth of features throughout typical of this era.
The accommodation is approached via an Entrance Hall with ceiling timbers, re-laid original brick floor, door to rear garden and stairs rising to the first floor. Steps lead down to Bathroom/WC which has the original bread oven. The walls have been water resistant treated and power has been connected so it can now be used as a Utility Room or wine cellar having power, light, plumbing for washing machine and wall mounted boiler. The double aspect Sitting Room has an impressive refurbished inglenook fireplace with oak bressumer beam, lighting and shelving fitted in the alcove. The Kitchen/Dining room has a good range of units to base and eye level, 'U' shaped wooden work surface, sink, hob, range cooker, plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher. There are also ceiling timbers, brick flooring to the kitchen area and slate flooring to define the dining area.
To the first floor are three Bedrooms with exposed floor boards and a cloakroom off the Landing.
A driveway gives access to remote controlled electric gates, flanked to one side by a deep rose garden and refurbished walls.
The landscaped gardens and grounds of around 1.76 acres are quite stunning, skilfully designed to include strategically positioned seating and entertaining areas along with a sectioned off area as a natural meadow.
The sweeping driveway leads to a detached former car-port which has been converted into a BBQ area with bar, power, lighting and heaters in order to create the ideal space for alfeesco dining.
An extensive re-laid herringbone brick terrace adjoins the rear of the property with path leading to another terrace and there is also the original water well which has been opened up as a feature.
A large pond is fed by a man-made stream which is in turn fed by a 20 metre deep bore hole which is also used to water the garden. Three other ponds can be found throughout the garden, all stocked with various types of fish including Carp up to 20lb in weight.
There are 5 sheds, 3 log stores, 2 Greenhouses, Fruit Cage and several vegetable beds along with a chicken coop currently housing around 50 hens. The boundaries are enclosed with dog proof fencing together with a variety of mature trees providing privacy and seclusion.
