about

Located in a small rural village in East Sussex close to Lewes.

The heart of this country house location is a 16th century timber framed building with beautiful daub (mud) walls, brick floors and a large inglenook fireplace.

Until the trainline arrived in the 1870’s it was the village pub.

Over the years additions have been made to the original house to create a unique home with lots of different levels and a variety of styles. 

From the driveway you walk past the basketmaker’s studio to the front door and into  the main light-filled living level with a concrete floor which runs past a piano and a shower room right through the kitchen/ living room to bi-fold doors looking out to country garden and field beyond.

Down steps into double height area leading to original house with cosy sitting room, fireplace with woodburner, brick floors and daub walls.

Up a single step to parquet floor and old white tongue and groove panelled hall with bedroom leading off to the right.

Up old, wonky stairs to first floor with front bedroom, bathroom and steps down to rear bedroom; all with wooden floors.

The back garden has an established vegetable garden enclosed by a hornbeam hedge, an old greenhouse and an orchard area with a horse-box sauna and firepit.

Around the driveway at the front are large log stores and stores of the willow used for basketmaking. The driveway has space for 3-4 vehicles and there is a free village car park 50m down the road.
