Description

This substantial Victorian house, set within 26 acres of land, offers a unique opportunity to restore a piece of history. The property, in need of renovation, boasts original features such as tiled or cast iron fireplaces, and has been left largely untouched since its construction over 100 years ago. The house extends to over 5,300 square feet and features a long hallway, drawing room, dining room, study, snug, kitchen, breakfast room, pantry, and seven bedrooms, with four bathrooms. The property also includes outbuildings, including a large Victorian store, a greenhouse, and a neglected walled garden. The gardens, which once featured a croquet lawn and sunken tennis court, are in need of restoration, but offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The property is situated in the High Weald Area of High Landscape Value, almost adjoining Ashdown Forest, and is just a short drive from Forest Row, East Grinstead, and Haywards Heath.
