Description

GUIDE PRICE - £2,500,000 - £3,000,000
Set amidst rolling High Weald countryside with far reaching views across open farmland, Hye House is an elegant 14 bedroom Georgian residence currently operated as a successful wellness retreat/holiday let, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a lifestyle-led business in one of East Sussex’s most picturesque settings.

Approached via a sweeping gravel carriage driveway, the handsome double-fronted façade, distinctive red door and side conservatory.
The property enjoys an elevated position, taking full advantage of panoramic rural vistas, while mature trees and generous grounds create a sense of privacy.

Internally, the house retains a wealth of period charm, including high ceilings, original fireplaces, exposed beams and beautifully proportioned rooms. The principal accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes a series of elegant bedrooms and guest suites, many enjoying delightful views over the surrounding countryside.

The ground floor provides a variety of reception
and communal spaces currently arranged to suit
its wellness use, including guest lounges, treatment areas and dining spaces.

A striking orangery-style relaxation room, with
vaulted glazed ceiling and French doors opening
to the gardens – perfectly suited to yoga, holistic
therapies or simply peaceful retreat. The lower
ground floor is currently used as a luxury spa/
treatment area but would also make a wonderful wine cellar.

Externally, the grounds provide ample space for
outdoor wellness activities, landscaped gardens,
swimming pool and potential for further leisure
amenities (subject to the necessary consents). The
additional area of woodland creates further privacy around the property along. The garden, grounds and woodland total approx 9.5 acres.
The circular driveway, central fountain and extensive parking facilities make the property equally well suited to private ownership, boutique hospitality, retreat use or corporate events.

Hye House occupies a highly convenient yet rural
position close to the historic town of Battle which
is famed for its connection to 1066, beautiful
Abbey and enchanting High Street with shops and amenities serving everyday needs.

Crowhurst has an active community, footpaths
including links to the 1066 Country Way, the RSPB
Fore Woods Nature Reserve and Combe Valley
countryside park. National Trust properties nearby
include Bodiam Castle, and Bateman’s
Hastings, Eastbourne and Tunbridge Wells
are all easily accessible and provide a further
comprehensive range of shopping, social and
cultural amenities.

Crowhurst (15 min walk), Battle and St Leonard’s
have regular train services to London and Gatwick.

This represents a unique opportunity to acquire a
landmark Sussex residence combining heritage,
business potential and lifestyle appeal in equal
measure.

Agents Note; The property has previously been
used as a residential dwelling and more recently has featured in numerous reality TV shows.
