Viewing is essential to appreciate this beautifully designed New England style detached four bedroom home that was built four years ago and benefits from the balance of a 10 year warranty.
The property sits in a private setting off a country lane within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty yet close to the market town of Heathfield.
Built to an exacting standard, the large reception hall has a mono string oak staircase that rises to a galleried landing. All the principle reception rooms open out onto a raised and covered veranda with external lighting and lovely views over the gardens and woodland beyond.
At the heart of the house is a beautifully designed kitchen with an extensive list of Miele and AEG appliances, all arranged around a centre island with quartz working surfaces.

Externally the property is set at the end of an exclusive development of just five houses with a gated entrance to a bonded gravel driveway that leads to a large garage. The gardens are a real feature of the property with an attractive winding pathway that leads to the front veranda. The paving wraps around the property and gives access to the rear where there is a further covered veranda that takes in views of the gardens which are beautifully planted and extend to a small piece of ancient woodland. The whole backs onto Darches Wood which is a local protected woodland and available for walking.
