6 bedroom country house for sale

A wonderful home on the outskirts of High Hurstwood which is a charming and popular village in the heart of East Sussex on the edge of The Ashdown Forest. The Old Mill is accessed from a single track off a quiet country lane. The house and the out buildings sit in the middle of the plot surrounded by mature and well maintained gardens. The Old Mill dates back to the 15th Century and does not disappoint with beautiful maintained oak beams throughout every room. The triple aspect reception room is bright and airy and has a stunning large ingle nook fire place, complete with original bakers oven and stunning views over the beautiful front and rear gardens. There is a large separate dining room with another large fire place, perfect for entertaining friends and family.

The family sized kitchen has a traditional AGA and ample storage for keen cooks, as well as a large breakfast area with an oak table which is ideal for Sunday morning breakfasts. In addition, there is a boot room and separate cloak room. The house has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (one en-suite).

The current owners have recently refurbished the whole second floor to create a beautiful and very comfortable principal bedroom with large en-suite bathroom which features a large walk-in rainforest shower, double sinks.

There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor.
