Description

On the quiet edge of Dallington, a tree lined drive crosses a little bridge over the Willingford Stream to this charming unlisted country house. Its heart is an eighteenth century cottage of stone and old beams, extended in the 1960s and 1980s with American oak joinery throughout. Facing the southern sun across its own meadow, it is filled with light all day.

The reception hall, with oak staircase and cloakroom, leads to a cosy snug with a wood burner and to the oak kitchen and utility room. Across the hall, the dining room has a wood burner and French doors to the terrace, opening into a drawing room of almost 27 feet with a great open fire and its own staircase to the study above.

Upstairs are three further bedrooms, one currently a home office, a walk in attic and a Jack and Jill family bathroom with bath and shower. The principal bedroom leads to a dressing room and second bathroom, and beyond is the triple glazed study, ideal as a fifth bedroom or guest suite.

Outside are two courtyards and a terrace with lighting and power, a summer house used as a pottery studio, a store, a double garage and a log shed. The land extends to about fourteen acres of daffodil meadow, woodland garden, ancient oaks and stream, with footpaths leading straight into Dallington Forest.

Burwash, Heathfield and Battle are each about five miles away, and Robertsbridge station, with trains to London Charing Cross, is about 20 minutes away. Being unlisted, the house offers scope to extend, subject to consents.
