4 bed semi-detached house to rent

The Street, Brightling, Robertsbridge TN32

A handsome and deceptively spacious Grade II listed country home dating back to the mid 1800’s and situated in a picturesque village location.

The accommodation benefits from extensive
improvements by the current owners to provide a
wonderful family home with spacious rooms arranged over four floors boasting many original character features including exposed timbers, solid wood floors and open fireplaces.

The ground floor comprises of a brief entrance hall leading in to the double aspect sitting room featuring an impressive brick Inglenook fireplace with a cast iron grate and Bressumer beam above. The main reception room is a lovely light room with an ornate style open working fireplace, central timber beam and windows overlooking the front garden.

An arched doorway with folding doors opens through to the very impressive ‘Chapel style’ kitchen/dining room with a vaulted ceiling providing a unique space.

A large arched window sits above the bespoke
fitted kitchen with a comprehensive range of units complimented by wood and granite work surfaces over integrated appliances. The fireplace provides a cast iron wood burning stove, and there is a door opening out to the rear garden. The study, utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

There is a door from the sitting room leading down to the cellar which has predominantly been converted into a gym/workout space with a further wine cellar space beyond.

The first floor provides two double bedrooms both of which have fitted wardrobes and two bathrooms one of which also has a shower. The second floor provides two further double bedrooms with fitted cupboards.

Externally the property is enclosed to the front by
the original brick wall with a picket gate leading
onto a brick path into the front garden with an area of lawn to the side, a wide variety of mature shrubs and hanging wisteria over the front door. The rear garden is a real delight with an extensive paved terrace ideal for outside entertaining overlooking a large area of lawn flanked by established flower borders and mature hedging providing an excellent degree of privacy. There is a further gravelled seating area at the rear of the garden with access to the detached brick garden house. There is a further outbuilding in the garden and off road parking available.

An additional feature to this lovely family home
is a further area of garden land situated a few
hundred metres from the main house and has
been transformed from overgrown brambles and
scrubland into additional and versatile outside
space. There is a large gravelled area for extensive off road parking, garden shed, chicken coup and space for a detached garage (subject to planning).

Gated access leads through to the kitchen garden, Petanque court and olive trees. The raised seating area provides outstanding and far reaching countryside views over the Sussex weald.

Situated in the heart of the idyllic and elevated
village of Brightling and opposite the historic church mentioned in the Doomsday book. The village hall is within easy walking distance and hosts a number of regular village events.

The nearby village of Robertsbridge provides village amenities and a mainline station with commuter services to London in just over an hour. The area is well served with an excellent selection of both state and private schools.
