About this property

Beautifully presented Edwardian family home set within approximately 1.87 acres of landscaped gardens, parkland and paddock, occupying a delightful position in the heart of Burwash Common.

Having been extensively improved by the current owners, this elegant detached home combines generous proportions, an abundance of natural light and beautiful period features with thoughtfully designed spaces for modern family living. Enjoying a semi-rural yet accessible setting within walking distance of the village shop, café and local amenities, the property also benefits from excellent transport links, with Stonegate station just 3.2 miles away.

The original Edwardian front door opens into a charming panelled entrance hall with the principal rooms spurring from here. The sitting room is a particularly impressive reception space, having been opened up from two original rooms to create a superb double-aspect room with deep bay windows overlooking the gardens to the front, flooding the space with natural light.
A separate double aspect study provides an ideal home office with pleasant views across the grounds and could equally be used as a ground floor bedroom, if required. Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. The vaulted ceiling creates an impressive sense of space, whilst the wood-burning stove and bespoke cabinetry provide warmth and character. French doors open directly onto the gardens, making this a wonderful space for both everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with solid oak worktops, twin Belfast sinks, integrated appliances and generous preparation space, with an adjoining utility and boot room offering excellent practical storage and direct access to the garden.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, two of which are double-aspect with fitted storage. A further bedroom, currently arranged as a dressing room, retains an original duck’s nest fireplace with art nouveau mantle. These are served by two beautifully appointed bath and shower rooms, including a luxurious bathroom with a freestanding claw-foot bath.
The second floor is dedicated to an impressive principal bedroom suite with charming angled ceilings, dressing room, fitted wardrobes, excellent eaves storage and an en suite shower room, creating a peaceful retreat away
from the main family accommodation.

Outside
The gardens and grounds are undoubtedly a standout feature of the property, extending to approximately 1.87 acres. They comprise formal south-facing gardens, an eastern paddock and park-like grounds including wild flower and bluebell meadows, a wide variety of fruit trees as well as flowering shrubs, ponds, coppices and an abundance of seasonal planting that create a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity throughout the year. A gravel driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and leads to a charming brick outbuilding with tiled roof, believed to have originally been a milking parlour. Subject to the necessary consents, this offers excellent potential for conversion into ancillary accommodation or a home office.

Situation
Burwash Common is a charming hamlet set within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with a village green, cricket ground, church, shop, café, nursery, public house and an extensive network of footpaths through the surrounding countryside.
The nearby market town of Heathfield offers an excellent selection of shops, supermarkets, cafés and everyday amenities, whilst the historic village of Burwash provides further local facilities. The area is well regarded for its excellent range of state and independent schools, with Stonegate station (approximately 3.2 miles away) providing regular services to London Bridge and Charing Cross.
