Property description

Buttons House is a stunning character family house with Period origins, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering beautifully presented accommodation to comprise master bedroom with en-suite, three further bedrooms and family bathroom to the first floor, kitchen/breakfast room with granite work surfaces, dining room opening to a sitting room with adjacent music room, large family room with office/fifth bedroom beyond, bathroom and utility room on the ground floor. It is noted that the family room, bathroom and office could form a self contained annexe if required. It is also noted that the first floor could be extended above the possible annexe to form further accommodation if required (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents).

The house has huge charm and is beautifully presented throughout having been the subject of a comprehensive renovation scheme. Each bathroom has ‘Aqualisa’ pre-heated showers and stone tiles, windows have been refurbished and new electrics and heating systems installed.

Externally, the house enjoys a heated swimming pool within an Indian Sandstone terrace, further gravel patio area with raised Koi Pond, insulated ‘Homestead’ Summer House providing a gymnasium, brand new Oak Cart Lodge for tools and a covered seating area, raised vegetable patches, numerous trees and shrubs and very attractive stream frontage. Double gates and a bridge leads over the stream to the paddock of approximately 1.2 acres which backs on to the Wadhurst Park Estate and has twin stables, hay barn and stream frontage.

To the front of the property is a gravel in and out driveway with five bar gates providing off road parking for several vehicles and the is space for a garage if required. Buttons House is located in that often sought; seldom found location, tucked away and peaceful, with a trickling stream in the grounds, yet within only a few miles of the village of Wadhurst, offering shopping to suit day to day needs, small supermarket, banks and local schooling for all ages.

Further schooling in both the private and public sectors can be found within short drives, to include Bricklehurst Manor, Stonegate Primary School, St Leonards Mayfield and Skippers Hill Preparatory School to name just a few. The area has churches of most denominations with more comprehensive shopping, education and religious facilities at the Spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells, approximately 9 miles distant.

The area is well served for equine purposes with ample hacking nearby, numerous golf courses, tennis clubs, country walks and Bewl Reservoir is a mere 3 miles distant, providing numerous outdoor interests and sailing.

The nearest main-line stations are at Stonegate (2 miles) and Wadhurst (3 miles) both providing a regular service to London (approximately an hour) and the Coast. The Coast is approximately 30 miles distant, with Gatwick Airport a mere 40 miles approximately and the A21 is also only 5 miles from the property.
