7 Chambres Non Spécifiées À Vendre À Hartfield

Set in the desirable Ashdown Forest area between the small village of Upper Hartfield and the hamlet of Colemans Hatch is this magnificent country home. Electronically operated gates lead to a sweeping gravel driveway taking you deep into the grounds and away from the madding crowd to a detached double carport, the detached annexe and a large turning circle in front of the handsome main house. Beautiful, landscaped gardens and grounds of 5.65 acres frame the house offering varied and distinct vistas and uses from well-kept formal gardens to lush sweeping lawns, from pond side glades to wild meadow (or paddock should you require equestrian use). All soundtracked to the susurration of the many mature trees and accompanying wildlife.

The original house has been extensively extended and refurbished to create a most comfortable luxurious home with large rooms and bright spaces and an understated opulence felt from the moment you step into the grand entrance hall.

The cavernous kitchen/breakfast/family room is a spectacular space containing with some ease an impressive professional size and quality kitchen plus discrete utility area with room left for a breakfast table which could seat a small army that opens out to a charming Italianate courtyard garden at on one side and a pond-facing casual seating area at the other.

At the heart of the living space are the sitting and dining rooms both flooded with light reflected in pristine porcelain tiles and gallery style white painted walls that lend themselves to drama and entertaining with style. Three more intimate rooms feed off this core, including a more sedate sitting room, a generous study and a superb cinema room.

The upstairs space continues in the theme of comfortable generosity with the greater portion of an entire wing given over to the luxurious principal suite comprising bedroom over-size bathroom and two dressing rooms (should you not require the second one as your sixth bedroom). Four more bedrooms including two en-suites, a third dressing room and a family bathroom complete with a sleeping space designed for large families and pampered guests.

For those with a need to house longer term guests, family or staff, the substantial annexe contains a two-bedroom self-contained apartment as well as the gym. A charming garden office is the perfect spot from which to work from home in some degree of tranquility, to create your artists studio or to separate the children’s playroom from the main house.

Families are particularly drawn to the area for its schooling, with local options including St Mary the Virgin CE Primary School in Hartfield and St Michael’s Primary School in nearby Withyham, while a number of highly regarded independent schools lie nearby including Brambletye School in East Grinstead, Michael Hall School in Forest Row, Cumnor House in Danehill , Ashdown House near Forest Row, as well as Tonbridge and Sevenoaks schools

A grand house in a beautiful setting was our brief, and we were delighted to find this beautiful home. The origins of the house were obscure, but we loved the Edwardian feel of the elevations, the pretty bay windows and the wisteria clad frontage all of which sat elegantly within its own plot. We have since substantially altered and added to the accommodation internally to create a more contemporary space to suit modern needs, adding the annexe and carport. The setting has always been beautiful with mature trees and a wonderful pond which feels more like a small lake and attracts the most incredible and varied wildlife. We have upgraded the framing of the house with formal gardens and a traditional English courtyard with Italian influences and purchased the paddock behind us which we enjoy as a wildlife meadow but would equally serve as a fine equestrian paddock.

Upper Hartfield is a highly desirable village on the edge of Ashdown Forest, and we cherish it  for its outstanding natural beauty, peaceful rural atmosphere and strong sense of community. Surrounded by the rolling landscapes of the High Weald, we can enjoy exceptional walking, riding and cycling opportunities, together with easy access to the famous Ashdown Forest, the inspiration for A. A. Milne’s Hundred Acre Wood. Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, we are well placed for the amenities of Hartfield and Forest Row, while the larger centres of East Grinstead, Tunbridge Wells, Crowborough and Uckfield are all within convenient reach, providing an excellent selection of shopping, leisure and transport connections
