DESCRIPTION: An extremely rare opportunity to purchase a large 5,000 square foot six / seven bedroomed bespoke beautiful character rural barn conversion with 12 acres of paddocks and gardens and benefitting from extremely energy efficient state of the art heating and insulation, including eco ground source systems. Located within easy reach of Etchinghame mainline train station, yet off a quiet private country lane with stunning rural views.

This adaptable country residence is predominantly on one main floor with two luxury bedroom suites accessed by private staircases. In all there is a total of potentially seven double bedrooms in addition to five reception rooms, a study, two cloakrooms, two / three ensuite facilities and two main family shower rooms and bathroom.

Although this large bespoke perfectly presented luxury residence offers very generous accommodation for one family, the property has been considered and has had past designs to possibly become two residences or for a family winged living arrangement if sought.

The property’s landscaped gardens are exquisite. However, beyond there is approximate 10 acres of grass paddock already with a field shelter that could possibly be enhanced to provide perfect equestrian facilities for an equine enthusiast subject to planning, including an all-weather menage and a new high quality stable complex.

SITUATION: Located within easy reach of the highly sought after popular Etchingham mainline station, this property is perfect for City commuters wishing to relocate out of London.

Yet with the benefit of an occasional neighbouring property strategically positioned off this same lane that is ideal for those not wishing to be too isolated.

Etchingham village is a picture of old Sussex charm with its historic church and old architecture. In addition, the mainline train station also benefits from its own bistro and café. There is also a local village store with further local shopping at Burwash, Ticehurst and Hawkhurst, with more comprehensive shopping at Tunbridge Wells.
