Wonderful family home with fabulous barn.

Description

Situated in a private setting and approached via a single farm lane, leading directly to the property, and surrounded by quintessential Sussex rolling farmland. Bartholomew Hurst is a unique offering, with a four bedroom main house accompanied by a charming traditional barn. The house itself comprises an entrance hall which leads on to a generous double aspect drawing room with log burner and French doors on to the garden. The kitchen is a delightfully light and airy space with an oil fired Aga and a conservatory providing an additional dining and entertaining area. Further ground floor accommodation includes a utility room, study and workshop. To the first floor are four bedrooms and two large bathrooms.

A real feature of the property is the detached party barn with reclaimed oak floorboards, a striking fireplace with log burner and a vaulted beamed ceiling. The barn has a utility area to the rear, with toilets and a kitchen. Doors from the barn lead onto a wonderful courtyard area with large fishpond and ample room for al-fresco entertaining.

The gardens are a real delight, with formal planting to the front of the main house and a large expanse of lawn to the rear, with a paddock bounded by post and rail fencing and kitchen garden. In addition to these areas is a tract of woodland with private paths leading out to the surrounding countryside. Outbuildings include an attached garage and a studio in the garden.
A driveway provides ample parking.
