3 bedroom detached house for sale

A stunning unlisted Sussex barn with planning consent part-implemented (details under 'Accommodation and Amenities'), together with a link-attached three-bedroom cottage (also with current planning permission as noted) all situated around a maturely planted courtyard and surrounded by gardens and countryside.

The Barn boasts generous dimensions and scope for an incoming purchaser to create their ideal home in an outstanding, beautiful, rural location. Works undertaken to the Barn so far include underpinning all the foundation walls, rebuilding the foundation walls, the installation of underfloor heating throughout the main barn area, restoring and replacing, where needed, the old timbers and walls (including insulating them), replacing the roof and outside, cladding and filling in the hay-barn entrances and exits, creating a courtyard and mature garden space. Completing the planning consent will provide a generous family accommodation over two floors, incorporating four bedrooms and three bathrooms as well as three distinct reception spaces, a library and a kitchen/breakfast room.

The Cottage, constructed by our clients in 1992/1993, using locally sourced stone, brick and timbers, allowing it to blend seamlessly with others in the surrounding countryside, completes the package seamlessly. The property provides not only versatile and generous additional accommodation generally, but a broad offering of uses to a family, such as during the development of the Barn, or larger family/friend stays. A garage was added in 1995 and has been used as additional accommodation since its conversion in 2009; it links the main cottage with a combination of rooms, affectionately known as Blackberry Cottage. This comprises a storage room (previously used as a wine store) two further rooms currently used as occasional family accommodation – a sitting/dining room, a shower room and a bedroom. There is an outside WC which is included in the title and could be incorporated into this accommodation.

None of the buildings are listed.

The property is accessed via timber gates leading into a gravel area providing parking for numerous cars. To the east side of the Barn, there is a generous courtyard, providing a wonderful, sheltered space, while to the west side of the Barn lie the formal gardens with immaculate Yew hedges. Beyond these are further lawns, a garden pond, several fields and a copse. All but one of the fields is let to a local farmer (on an annual basis) for the grazing of sheep but would also lend themselves well to equestrian use. To the front of the Cottage is a garden laid to lawn and includes a handsome oak tree (which is subject to a TPO) and a beautiful partially walled garden.
