10 bed detached house for sale

Robertsbridge, Sussex TN32

Tucked away in a quiet, private setting with magnificent views over the High Weald, Peans Wood dates from 1904 and retains a wonderful sense of its origins, with parquet floors, oak panelling and characterful fireplaces throughout. More recently, the house has been thoughtfully refurbished and extended, elevating it into something rather special, with a beautifully crafted bespoke kitchen and a dedicated wellness space including a home gym, yoga studio and sauna.

The ground floor flows effortlessly, with a series of elegant, well balanced reception rooms including a drawing room with bay opening onto the garden, a richly panelled dining room with an impressive carved stone fireplace, along with a large study. At its heart; the 42ft by 42ft L-shaped kitchen, breakfast and family room is both functional and refined, centred around a substantial island, an impressive Lacanche Belmont range cooker and finished with integrated appliances. The downstairs is further complemented by a large fitted utility room, WC and access to the adjoining self contained two bedroom annexe with its own kitchen breakfast room, sitting room and shower room.

Upstairs, the principal suite enjoys far reaching south facing views, with a dressing room and generous bathroom. There are three further bedroom suites on the first floor, and two additional bedrooms. The second floor provides two more bedrooms, a family bathroom and a large games room, along with access to a substantial attic.

The grounds are a defining feature, extending to just over 15 acres of formal lawns, woodland, established planting and raised vegetable garden, all with a lovely southerly aspect. A heated swimming pool sits within a sheltered setting with rolling countryside views. There are a range of outbuildings as well as a paddock suitable for equestrian use.

Further amenities include a double garage with adjacent single garage/tool store, beneath a large home office space. The house is approached through electronic wrought iron gates, along a sweeping tree lined drive with mature rhododendrons, setting the tone from the outset.

The property benefits from being unlisted and has outline planning permission for a new pool house and tennis court.

Location

Peans Wood sits in a quietly secluded position on the edge Robertsbridge, an historic, picturesque village in the Rother district of East Sussex, within the rolling countryside of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The house is a convenient walk from Robertsbridge station with regular mainline train services to London Charing Cross and Cannon Street via Tunbridge Wells.

Robertsbridge offers all the essentials; an excellent 18h century inn with rooms, an Indian restaurant, village post office, a small supermarket and well regarded primary school, while nearby Hawkhurst features larger Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets. Robertsbridge is the perfect, practical location for families looking to balance country and city life. Vibrant Tunbridge Wells is easily accessible along the A21, as is the coast with Hastings, Rye and Camber Sands within easy reach.

It is a setting that feels properly rural, yet remains extremely well connected.
