Street End Lane, Broad Oak, Heathfield, East Sussex, TN21 8RY

NO CHAIN - Unique, individual detached house ideal for either a family or multiple occupancy. Beautifully presented house which the currant owner has started a substantial extension on which could either be part of the main house, or a separate, substantial ANNEX(to be finished by buyer). The chapel is a spacious, contemporary family home, built in the style of a classic Wealden barn. Good use of old stock brick, clay tiles and a refined elevation creating an exciting and sizeable property with the emphasis on high standard of presentation throughout.

Grand open plan reception area creating a lobby, dining room & kitchen (about 39' x 16'3 max). The former chapel is now a magnificent drawing room (about 24' x 23') with double aspect views, large inglenook fire & beams. Master bedroom with full en-suite bathroom and three further bedrooms all en suite. The property is approached by a sweeping gravel driveway leading to a triple garage (unfinished).

An extension of the driveway forks off to a lower parking area with a hardstanding for a double garage and around to the extension/cottage/annexe at the rear of the house. The gardens extend to around 2 Acres and the views across the valley to Mayfield are wonderful. The planning number is WD/2018/0590/F and plans are on the details.
