Nestled in rural tranquility, this remarkable home combines Tudor era charm with contemporary comfort. Dating back to 1570, it began as a hall house, indicating its significance during a time when most homes were modest timber structures. Once part of Heathfield Park, it has a storied past documented by historian David Martin. Surrounded by 13.9 acres of gardens, woodland, and a lake, the estate features luxury amenities including a swimming pool, tennis court, barn, and an annexe.The property's refurbishment, initiated in 1999 with full consent, preserved its historic details while modernizing the interiors. Substantial upgrades included the revitalization of beams and a fresh aesthetic using Farrow & Ball paints. The result is a mix of heritage and modern design, with a principal suite and two additional bedrooms thoughtfully arranged for comfort. Enhancements like converting former stables into a two-bedroom annexe and adding recreational facilities signaled a seamless transition into the 21st century.Access to the estate is through electric gates leading to an expansive driveway capable of accommodating over 30 vehicles. The garage and barn provide additional storage and amenities, including electric doors and charging facilities.Entering the home, guests are welcomed by an inviting entrance hall that combines practicality with elegance. The main living spaces highlight the historic architecture, featuring beams alongside contemporary furnishings. The sitting room, with its deep inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, creates a cozy retreat perfect for winter evenings. Further into the home, the study occupies the former dairy, bathed in natural light and offering picturesque views of the gardens. The dining hall, complete with solid oak flooring and a striking fireplace, provides an ideal space for gatherings. The kitchen is a warm, inviting area designed for modern living, boasting bespoke cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a central island for socializing during meal preparation. Adjacent to the kitchen, the light-filled family room offers stunning views of the grounds, enhancing family interactions and relaxation.The first floor features spacious bedrooms with ample storage, including a principal suite boasting striking rural vistas and luxurious heritage bathrooms equipped with both bathtubs and showers. Two additional guest rooms share a calming bathroom, while the second floor offers two more bedrooms served by a modern bath.Outside, the 13.9 acres are thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance. Established gardens with natural borders invite wildlife, while features like a gentle running stream and a rain-fed lake enhance the property's serene ambiance. A dedicated tennis court and heated pool provide recreational opportunities, and the grounds are equipped with exterior sockets for convenience.The annexe, formerly stables, offers further living space, and the barn is versatile enough for gatherings, with potential expansion for additional rooms upon planning approval.Located within walking distance of Burwash Common, the area offers community spirit with local shops, pubs, and regular bus services to nearby towns and stations. Educational opportunities abound, making this location ideal for families while providing a safe and nurturing environment.In summary, this residence masterfully marries Tudor history with modern living amidst idyllic countryside, offering an exceptional lifestyle in a place where nature and heritage coexist harmoniously.

About this agent

Bees Homes - Home Office
Upper Grain Store, Berwick Court Farm, Alfriston Road
Berwick, East Sussex
BN26 5QS
01323 916609Bees 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.
