House Hartfield

Guide Price £1,100,000 - £1,200,000

POTENTIAL FOR REDEVELOPMENT - Occupying a wonderful position in a truly rural location this detached Colt bungalow has the benefit of a range of outbuildings and grounds extending to about five acres. The property previously benefitted from planning permission for replacement with a spacious detached two storey family home (WD/2013/2314/FA), since lapsed.

Set 1.5 miles down a country lane, the bungalow is surrounded by open countryside with footpath walks to Hartfield. The property itself has three/four bedrooms, a study/bedroom 4, bathroom and spacious double aspect lounge/dining room, with chimney breast and open fireplace. The property is entered through an enclosed porch with glazed door to the good sized hall. The light kitchen overlooks the rear garden, and has worktops, with cupboards and drawers below, inset gas hob, electric oven, plumbing and recess for dishwasher. Adjacent utility room. The total floor area extends to over 1440 square feet (133.7 square metres) with scope to enlarge/re-design/replace subject to planning consents. Detached garage measuring 3.71 x 2.9 previously used as an office.

Externally there is a good sized garden laid to lawn with mature hedging, magnolia, roses, camellia and a weeping willow. Behind this is a large paddock with a field shelter, a smaller fenced paddock, and a stable yard with a separate entrance off the lane, and a gate into the field. There are two separate stable blocks totalling five boxes and tack rooms, and an open barn. In total the land extends to 5.3 acres. In addition there is a smaller yard area to the front with a number of useful timber stores/studios with access into the paddock.

Hartfield is a popular East Sussex village on the northern fringe of Ashdown Forest between the major towns of Tunbridge Wells & East Grinstead both of which can be accessed by bus services, and provide shopping/leisure facilities and rail services to a number of London Stations.

The larger village of Forest Row is approximately five miles with an extensive selection of local shops, cafes restaurants and specialist stores.
