Description

**GUIDE PRICE £1,500,000 to £1,700,000**
Wake to birdsong, pull on your boots and step straight onto the 1066 Country Walk and bridleway, with not a single public road to cross. This imposing detached Oast house sits on a private no-through lane in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, yet the mainline station for London Charing Cross is just 1.5 miles away, and the bustling market town of Battle, with its shops, amenities and both private and public schools, is close by. Sympathetically extended and restored by the present owners, the house offers versatile, spacious accommodation that suits dual occupancy beautifully. A dual aspect drawing room with central fireplace and a roundel sitting room sit alongside two further reception rooms and a vaulted kitchen/dining room made for long lunches and lively gatherings, with a home office, walk-in pantry, boot room, utility and two cloakrooms. Upstairs, five bedrooms include a master with dressing room, served by a well appointed family bathroom, while the second floor roundel room offers scope for a further bedroom and bathroom, subject to consents. Outside is where the lifestyle truly unfolds. Spend weekends with ponies on four level paddocks, wander 5.06 acres (TBV) of gardens, ancient woodland carpeted with native bluebells in spring, and a natural pond, with a stream along the boundary. A characterful Tyler barn, numerous outbuildings and ample parking complete the picture. Planning permission for two holiday cottages from the former piggery (ref RR/2019/2249/P) offers a rare opportunity to create income or family accommodation. Nearby, the elegant Georgian Powdermills Hotel has been reimagined as Crafted at Powdermills, a design-led lifestyle hotel, wellness retreat and members' club

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 2, about 80 metres away.

Surface water

Medium to low risk (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000)

Not at the pin: mapped about 70 metres away.

These bandings are the summary. Where this location sits on the flood maps, plus planning activity, heritage and ground risks, is in the full report.
