Isenhurst, Cross in Hand, Heathfield, East Sussex, TN21

Tucked away within an exclusive private estate, Blakesbourne is an impressive and spacious Millwood Designer Home, beautifully positioned on a south facing plot with extensive grounds that create a magnificent natural backdrop. Set within approximately 13 acres of park like gardens and mature woodland, the property offers a rare combination of seclusion, space and tranquillity, while remaining conveniently placed for nearby amenities and transport links.

The ground floor of Blakesbourne offers an exceptional balance of open, flowing family space and well defined formal rooms. The central kitchen/breakfast room is generously proportioned, designed for both everyday living and social occasions, with ample space for dining and direct access to the garden, making it a natural hub of the home. Adjoining this is a practical utility room, perfectly positioned to support busy family life.

To the front of the property, the dining room provides a setting for entertaining, while the spacious drawing room features dual aspects that fill the room with natural light and offer lovely views of the surrounding grounds. A family room provides an inviting, more relaxed living space, ideal for cosy evenings or informal gatherings. The ground floor also includes a welcoming reception hall, cloakroom facilities, and additional rooms suitable for home working, hobbies or play, giving excellent flexibility to adapt the accommodation as needed. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximise light, flow and connection with the gardens.

The first floor provides superb family accommodation, centred around a bright and spacious landing. The main bedroom suite occupies a generous portion of this level, offering a peaceful retreat with its own bathroom walk in wardrobe. Four further bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, each providing comfortable proportions, with a choice of outlooks across the gardens and surrounding woodland. Additional bathroom facilities serve these rooms, ensuring practicality for family living or guest stays.

The second floor adds an exciting dimension to the home, featuring two substantial games rooms that span much of the footprint. These rooms offer outstanding versatility and could be adapted for a variety of uses - such as a home cinema, gym, studio, teenage den, or dedicated office space. With their generous size and elevated views, they provide a perfect top floor escape, enhancing the home’s overall sense of space and flexibility.

The gardens immediately surrounding the house extend to around three quarters of an acre, providing wonderful areas for dining, entertaining and enjoying the peaceful setting. Beyond this lies the additional land included within the title, bringing the total grounds to approximately 13 acres of private lawns, park like gardens and mature woodland that frame the property beautifully. A gated entrance opens onto a long driveway that leads to extensive parking for several vehicles and a detached triple garage, ensuring excellent space for cars and storage.

Blakesbourne occupies a secluded yet convenient semi rural position at the end of an impressive driveway leading from Meres Lane, situated around 13 miles south of Tunbridge Wells. The nearby market town of Heathfield (2.5 miles) provides a range of shops, cafés and supermarkets including Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Co op. Local leisure facilities include the rugby and tennis clubs at Cross in Hand, as well as Isenhurst Health Club. The south coast at Eastbourne lies approximately 18 miles to the south. The area is well served by both state and private schools, including primary schools in Heathfield and Five Ashes, preparatory schools such as Skippers Hill (Five Ashes) and Holmewood House (Langton Green), and senior options including Heathfield Community College, Mayfield School for Girls, Bedes (Upper Dicker), Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Eastbourne College.
