Thoughtfully designed to maximise space and natural light, the ground floor features a triple-aspect sitting room with bifold doors opening onto an elevated decked terrace, perfectly positioned to take in the far-reaching rural views. The stylish kitchen/dining room provides a superb hub for everyday living and entertaining, with French doors leading out to the terrace and gardens. An additional reception room on the ground floor could serve as a sixth bedroom if need be as there is a nearby bathroom. This arrangement is ideal for multi-generational living or creating self-contained guest accommodation. Upstairs, there are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including two with en suite facilities, along with a contemporary family shower room. Outside, the property is approached via private gates, offering ample off-road parking, along with a home office and a substantial storage room. The rear of the property is a particular highlight, featuring extensive gardens with stunning countryside views. There are also a twin stable block and a paddock, making it especially appealing for those with equestrian interests. Located on the outskirts of the sought-after village of Rotherfield, the property enjoys good access to Wadhurst railway station and the wider amenities of Crowborough and Tunbridge Wells, with a diverse selection of shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities.
