A beautifully presented five/six bedroom family home with two attached annexes, a double garage, landscaped walled garden, outbuildings and exceptional views across the South Downs located in an enviable position in the popular village of Blackboys.
Fine & Country are delighted to bring to the market this beautifully presented five/six bedroom family home with two attached annexes, a double garage, landscaped walled garden, outbuildings and exceptional views across the South Downs located in an enviable position in the popular village of Blackboys.
The Coach House, which originally formed part of the Brownings Manor Estate and is believed to date back to the 17th Century but converted at the turn of the 21st Century, is a truly unique family home which has been improved and maintained to an excellent standard throughout by the current owners including the recent installation of a brand new kitchen and renovation of the principal bedroom suite. The property, which is set over two floors, offers 3346 square feet of internal living space, a detached double garage and three additional outbuildings.
Set in a plot of 0.80 acres of beautiful landscaped gardens, The Coach House has oil fired central heating throughout, supplemented by electric under floor heating in the kitchen, dining room and snug. A wood-burning stove supplements the central heating in the TV room while the owners have recently installed a brand-new feature electric fire in the sitting room. In addition, the property benefits from solar heating, which provides a substantial rebate on annual consumption and includes the supply of hot water in the summer months.
On the ground floor of the main house the property includes a kitchen/breakfast room, orangery, sitting room, TV room and reading room. Occupying the end portions on either side of the property are attached annexes. On the west wing you have, on the ground floor, a large entrance hall, a shower room, utility room and bedroom/office. On the east wing, on the ground floor, you find a utility room/kitchen with stairs leading to the first floor. On the first floor you find five double bedrooms, two ensuite bathrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside, the garden can be accessed from the entrance hall, the orangery, dining room and ancillary kitchen/utility room. The original walls remain in part to enclose the garden whilst still enabling views of the downs beyond. Having been landscaped it is complete with kitchen garden, water features and lawns as well as numerous sheds and the old boiler house. The property has private parking with room for several cars and an English Heritage style double garage.
The Coach House lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the east side of the village of Blackboys with its popular public house, café and C of E primary school. The picturesque village of Waldron with its public house is about 2 miles. Uckfield provides an extensive range of restaurants, public houses, shops and recreational facilities, together with Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets and an independent cinema.
There is also a good selection of both private and state schools in the area. Uckfield has a mainline train service to London (London Bridge in about 1 hour 15 mins). The county town of Lewes lies approximately 10 miles to the south west and provides a range of individual shops, restaurants and regular food markets. The regional centre of Royal Tunbridge Wells, about 15 miles to the north/east, has a comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities. The nearby South Downs National Park and Ashdown Forest, together with the coast at The Seven Sisters Country Park provide wonderful opportunities for walking and recreation.
