Description
On approaching the property, you could be fooled into thinking it is a traditional Kentish style cottage, but nothing could be further from the truth. Cleverly designed and extended to marry the old with the new, this bespoke detached home extends to just over 2,000 square feet of exceptional living space (excluding garaging and outside storage). While the modern largely open-plan living rooms take full advantage of their south facing aspect and breathtaking location, with a simple palette of materials and large expanses of glazing allowing an emphasis on the natural light and framing the amazing views across the beautiful garden to the Rother levels in the distance, the older period parts of the house offer a cosy retreat away from the World outside.
This property also benefits from a large detached contemporary double garage with electric roller door and sedum roof, very useful workshop / store, lovely mature gardens with established trees, shrubs and further storage, and from having immediate access to the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
