Campfield Rough lies in a tranquil position surrounded by Ashdown Forest and is within its own park-like gardens.

The village of Fairwarp is a mile away, and provides a church, public house and village hall. Crowborough, which offers a good range of local shopping including a Waitrose supermarket and a mainline train station to London is about 4 miles, whilst Buxted Station is 5 miles distant.

Ashdown Forest (6,400 acres) is protected by an act of Parliament, providing many miles of walking and riding country, with spectacular views over Sussex and the North and South Downs.

The larger regional centres in the area, Haywards Heath and Royal Tunbridge Wells are about 13 and 12 miles respectively, both provide mainline train services to London in under 50 minutes.

There is an excellent selection of schools in the area including Ardingly College, Mayfield School, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks.

Preparatory schools include Ashdown House, Brambletye, Cumnor House, Great Walstead and Michael Hall.

Understood to date from 1840, Campfield Rough was significantly enlarged in 1911 to the size it is today.

The current owners have vastly improved the property and they inform us that they have had the roof, electrics, plumbing and heating replaced.

Internally, Campfield Rough is beautifully presented and provides light and spacious accommodation over 2 floors.

Features of note include a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with oak units, granite work surfaces and some integrated appliances including a halogen six ring range. Light floods into this double aspect room and there is a door which leads out to a wide paved terrace and the rear garden. The drawing room is also double aspect and features an impressive Edwardian carved wooden fireplace, solid oak flooring and a deep bay window overlooking the rear garden.

The dining room has a similar fireplace, bay window and Brazilian slate flooring which continues throughout the rest of the ground floor.

On the first floor there is a generous principal suite comprising a bedroom with a bank of bespoke built in wardrobes and a well presented bathroom with under-floor heating.

Three further double bedrooms and a further bathroom complete the accommodation.

From the road, a tarmac drive leads to a large parking area adjacent to the garaging.

A gate gives access to the front of the property and a sheltered courtyard, which has been thoughtfully landscaped, beautifully planted and laid with Indian sandstone to create a wonderful area for al fresco dining.

A sandstone path wraps around the house and leads to a wide terrace adjacent to the rear. To one side of the garden is a very useful home office/studio.

The gently undulating park-like gardens are mainly laid to lawn and are interspersed with a vast array of specimen trees including several types of Acer, a Pieris, Gingko and a magnificent Eucryphia and Eucalyptus.

The large tarmac parking area will accommodate at least six vehicles, with the triple garage beyond. A boarded area in the roof of the garage provides a large amount of storage.

A lawned area leads to the well maintained grass tennis court bordered on one side by a delightful woodland shaw.

In all about 2.5 acres
