Description

The main house has been thoughtfully enhanced
by the current owners, seamlessly blending period charm with modern family living. Character features remain at the heart of the home, including exposed timbers, impressive inglenook fireplaces and woodburning stoves, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

The accommodation extends to generously
proportioned reception rooms, including a superb
triple-aspect drawing room with French doors
opening onto the gardens, an elegant dining room, a spacious study or playroom and a well-appointed country kitchen/breakfast room enjoying delightful views across the grounds. A separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

The first floor is centred around a superb principal
suite, featuring an en suite shower room, dressing
area and French doors opening onto a private
balcony where panoramic views stretch across the
grounds towards the South Downs. Three further
bedrooms (one with en suite) and a family bathroom provide excellent accommodation for family and guests.

A significant feature is the collection of three
beautifully converted holiday cottages. Enjoying
original character with exposed brickwork and
timber beams, they are currently operated as highly successful holiday lets, generating an established income stream. Each cottage benefits from its own private garden and dedicated parking.

The outside space is perfectly arranged to
embrace country living. The formal gardens include expansive lawns, a generous entertaining terrace and an ornamental pond with a charming bridge leading to a central island.

Beyond, approximately 22 acres of pasture and
mature woodland create an exceptional setting
for recreation, equestrian pursuits or simply
enjoying the privacy and beauty of the surrounding landscape.

A substantial agricultural barn provides extensive
storage and offers exciting potential for a variety of alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents.

Occupying a quiet position in the heart of the East Sussex countryside, surrounded by rolling farmland yet within easy reach of the historic county town of Lewes, the coastal amenities of Eastbourne and the commuter services from Uckfield and Lewes into London.

The area is particularly renowned for its excellent
selection of both state and independent schools,
including Bede’s, Eastbourne College, Mayfield
School and Skippers Hill.

Offering an exceptional lifestyle opportunity,
Holdens Farm is equally suited as a delightful family residence, an established lifestyle business or a combination of both.
