4 bedroom detached house for sale

Wealden is a wonderful grade II listed detached cottage with charm and character throughout, which has been cleverly and most successfully extended and improved over recent years. The more modern part of the house, predominantly to the rear, has added still further character which contrasts with the period origins although does not conflict with them. The layout of the house works very well, while the accommodation is particularly flexible on the ground floor, offering the potential for buyers to adapt it to their own needs. This excellent family house has the rare privilege of beautiful and picturesque outlooks in all directions. The country-style kitchen lies alongside the older part of the house and includes an Aga, ample space for a dining table, as well as abundant natural light from three directions. This leads through to the adjacent formal dining room, and on in to the drawing room, both of which have period casement windows, fireplaces and original beams. A high quality wood and brick conservatory/sun room has been added to complete the array of accommodation at the front of the property. The impressive, vaulted hallway gives access to the newer part of the house including a sitting room, study, large utility/boot room with direct garden access, and w.C. Stairs from the hall lead to the galleried landing from which the bedrooms are all accessed. The master bedroom suite has been created at the rear of the house, and this includes a bedroom, with balcony overlooking the gardens, a large en-suite bathroom, and dressing area. The three additional bedrooms are arranged across the older part of the property and there is a family shower room to service these bedrooms. Current and full planning permission exists for ancillary accommodation by conversion of the detached garage.

Absolutely delightful and extensive gardens surround the property, offering many different and enchanting areas to enjoy at different parts of the day. These mature gardens include various lawned areas interspersed with sample plants and shrubs in flower beds arranged on all sides of the house, and there are various fruit trees dotted around including plum, greengage, apple and pear. There is an excellent kitchen-garden including fruit cages and vegetable beds, beyond which are lovely paddocks in a parkland style setting with mature trees surrounding, offering privacy from all directions. There are various outbuildings including a double field store, a workshop and a hay barn, as well as the garage.
