5 bed detached house for sale

Rose Hill, Isfield, Uckfield, East Sussex TN22

An impressive neo-Georgian detached property with grounds of about an acre, including a detached home office/studio, an open party barn and an above ground heated pool.

Description
Built in classic style with symmetrical red brick elevations under a tiled roof, Little Heath is an impressive and spacious detached neo-Georgian house completed in 2004, acquired by the current owners in 2008 and further extended in 2012.
It is ideally matched to modern family life, with features including wired internet to key rooms, and offers spacious and elegant accommodation arranged over two floors, with a versatile layout with three separate reception rooms and a study giving plenty of space for both entertaining and relaxing as a family.

At the front of the house is a cosy snug with an open fireplace, which has previously been used as a dining room; it has hardwired internet offering the option for a second ground floor office for working or studying from home, complementing the study which lies across the hallway. The formal drawing room has a bay window framing the views over the rear garden, a wood burning stove, and a door to the side access.

The kitchen/breakfast room is the hub of day to day life, beautifully fitted with an excellent range of solid wood cabinets under granite surfaces, with a central island, a Rangemaster stove, and space for a dining table. Beyond lies the sitting room, an impressive addition from 2012, with bi-fold doors to the rear terrace, two roof lanterns, and underfloor heating. It creates a superb space for entertaining, yet is also comfortably suited to day to day use.

At the rear is a boot room, with a separate sink and door to the side access, where outdoor hot and cold taps are plumbed, ideal for muddy dogs and boots. Adjoining the boot room is a 600-bottle climate controlled wine room. There is ample understairs storage, and a cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal suite includes built-in wardrobes and an en suite with walk-in shower, twin basins, bidet, and WC. Four further bedrooms and two family bathrooms complete the first floor.

Outside
Set behind tall conifer hedging for privacy, the property is approached via electronically operated wooden gates opening to a gravelled drive that winds past an expanse of lawn, providing parking for several vehicles ahead of the house and the attached three bay garage.

The rear garden is fully enclosed with side access. Outbuildings include a detached studio, suitable as a home office, games room, or gym, and three timber sheds (two with power) offering excellent storage.

The heated above ground pool, powered by an air source pump, sits near the garden’s centrepiece: An open party barn with an outdoor kitchen equipped with a gas barbecue, masonry charcoal barbecue, fireplace suitable for use as a wood-fired grill, fridge space, sink with hot and cold water supply (undercounter electric boiler), power points, lighting, and integrated sound system, creating a fantastic setting for al fresco entertaining. A paved terrace spans the rear and side elevations, providing further space for outdoor furniture and garden enjoyment.

At the north side lies a kitchen garden with raised beds. The remainder of the garden is mainly lawn with shrub borders, extending to about an acre in total.
