Discover a home where classic features combine with contemporary comforts, and where rural refuge comes with all the convenience of village amenities on the doorstep of this cottage. A respectfully reinvigorated period home offering up the best of both worlds, privately tucked back from the High Street in Burwash.
Serene sanctuary
A flat and easy five-minute stroll from the shops and doctor's surgery, yet with unbroken panoramas over the countryside, this cottage is Burwash's best kept secret.
A hidden gem, tucked back off the High Street, the privacy reveals itself from the rear of the home with spectacular views over the fields and treetops.
Originally three cottages, converted around the mid 1990s into one abode, the heavy beams to the far side of the cottage hint at its Elizabethan origins, believed to date back in parts to the early 1600s.
A home respectfully and lovingly enhanced both outside and within to maximise the stunning views, whilst retaining the home's unique character, effervescent with warmth and personality.
Welcome home
With its grand yet practical in and out driveway gated to both ends, sense the privacy instantly and as you pull off the high street and along the lengthy driveway, where there is plenty of parking as well as an English Heritage oak framed double garage.
Sublime, mature gardens wrap around this family home, lovingly tended over the years to provide a buffer of calm between the home and the wider world.
Step inside, into the peaceful hallway, where a handy cloakroom awaits to the right. A central hub, from the entrance hall, rooms radiate off in all directions.
Savour the view
Make your way through to the light-filled kitchen-breakfast room, fitted by HKS (Heathfield) in 2016, where picturesque views rush to greet you, with countryside framed by windows to three sides. Calm, soothing, spacious and bright, the kitchen has been reconfigured by the current owners, relocated to make the most of the views and featuring a sociable breakfast bar.
Wood flooring flows out underfoot, with plenty of storage in the classic stone-coloured cabinetry. Appliances include an integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher, two Neff ovens including a micro-convection oven and electric hob. Save time when making your morning coffee courtesy of the Quooker instant boiling tap.
Wine and dine
Turning left from the entrance hall, make your way through into the dining room, where a splash of cheerful green dresses the walls, harmonious with the heritage of the home. Light streams in through the cottage-style window, with ample space for guests to gather.
Fitted cupboards and shelving maximise the space, lending the room a versatility; this dining room could also serve well as a playroom or home office.
Back in the entrance hall and similarly accessible from the dining room, make your way through into the lounge.
The heart of the home
A bountiful room with a bold personality, original beams span the ceiling overhead, with uplifting shades of green to the walls. The incredible views out over the countryside take centre stage once more, whilst the open fire, within the large, exposed brick inglenook fills the room with toasty cheer.
With direct access out onto the landscaped and expansive garden, the lounge is an all-season room in which to entertain, relax and unwind.
Annex potential
From the lounge there is access through to a series of rooms which offer great potential for use as a separate annexe, ideal for multigenerational living.
Step through into a sitting room where a log burning stove infuses the space with toasty warmth throughout the winter months. Sense the antiquity of the home in the lower ceiling height and ancient beams overhead.
A bedroom with fitted cupboards and display shelves could also serve as a study and is found off the sitting room.
Opening up off the sitting room is a rear lobby, leading to a modern wet room, furnished with shower, wash basin, WC and storage.
The rear lobby offers instant access out onto the garden, rear stairs to the principal bedroom and also to a utility room, with plumbing for washing machine and dryer. This could be converted to a kitchenette, should this area of the home be used for annexe purposes.
And so to bed...
Take the main stairs up to the first-floor landing where on the right, bedroom three awaits offering views out over the front garden. Fitted wardrobes provide plenty of storage in this characterful and quirky bedroom, which features exposed beams and a private, recently modernised, shower room ensuite which overlooks the rear garden and views across the valley.
Ahead from the top of the stairs, the spacious second bedroom awaits, with a large area of fitted wardrobes, handsome exposed beams and a large ensuite with bath, separate shower, wash basin and WC. And again with a rear aspect over the garden and valley.
Sweet dreams
Sanctuary awaits in the stunning principal bedroom, dressed in soothing sage green and white, and where a high vaulted ceiling, original exposed beams and a cast iron fireplace infuse country comfort.
Cottage windows capture views out over the fields and to woodland at the front of the house, with Karndean flooring and traditional style cast-iron radiators.
Spacious and elegant, this is a room in which to rest and recharge in comfort and serenity.
Sneak a peek at the stunning ensuite bathroom, with metro tiled shower, exposed timbers, Karndean flooring, fireplace with antique French log-burning stove and high vaulted ceiling. The ultimate space in which to relax and unwind, ample storage is available in the fitted cupboards.
Garden and outbuildings
Outside, there is ample space for your prized motor in the double English Heritage garage, served by power, lighting and shelving. There is also a large separate shed used to store ride-on mowers, alongside an additional tool shed with shelving and bench.
Entertain family and friends on lazy summer days in the Arctic-style wooden hexagonal barbecue hut, with open fire and BBQ with seating. An extension from one of the sides, fitted with Wifi cabled in from the main home - is also used as a garden office.
Landscaped to the rear, and to open up the view, what was once a rugged field has been diligently planted and lovingly nurtured by the current owners to create a garden of 'rooms', offering plenty of pockets of peace and tranquillity, brimming with colour year-round.
Sussex post and rail fencing (dog proof) encloses the garden; ideal for the keen gardener, with lavish rose beds of a variety of colours, resplendent from early summertime onwards.
Views open up from the rear, extending down the valley. Perfectly private and peaceful, no public footpaths run across the land although you will find plenty nearby for you to enjoy with your furry friends.
Brick raised beds contain a variety of planting, with shrubs and bushes planted along the bank between the upper and lower lawns. A mature tree on the upper lawn provides ample opportunity to gather cooking apples.
A haven for nature, the large pond is a draw for wildlife, providing a splash of serenity to the garden. Soak up the sunshine, which tracks around the garden throughout the day, from the Indian stone slabbed patio.
Embrace The Good Life and grow your own in the raised vegetable bed, all the while enjoying the spectacular uninterrupted views.
Additional land
By separate negotiation, 15-16 acres of fields and woodland, including two beautiful ponds, paddocks and field shelter, all to the rear, are also available for purchase, adding to the sanctity and serenity of the main home.
Ideal for equine enthusiasts looking to keep horses, the land is currently maintained by a farmer, who cuts the hedges annually and mows the fields for silage.
Out and about
With all the peace and privacy of rural living, Yeomans Cottage is yet but a short stroll from all the amenities of Burwash High Street.

Property information from this agent
Places of interest
Bees Homes was founded in 2017 as a result of a very matter of fact observation: “why don’t we do it and do it better?” Creating an agency where the client truly is at the forefront of everything we did was what drove us. In a world where we are transforming how we live, work, shop and buy property, surely it is time for the estate agency rule book to be rewritten? Ana and Paul started their journey by developing an easy to understand approach, where we attract, engage, and delight our clients by providing them with experiences that are relevant, helpful, and bespoke to them. We had a vision: to create an estate agency that specialises in beautiful and stylish properties, providing the highest quality service; to provide a seamless customer experience across every stage of the selling process, making customers feel looked after at every touch-point. Today, we remain a small independently owned award winning business with the same strong values of quality and customer care as when we started.
