An immaculately presented Arts & Crafts-style family home with garaging and beautiful gardens.
Covehurst is an immaculately presented Arts and Crafts-style family home, understood to date from the late 1930's close to beautiful countryside, set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens, just over 1 mile to the west of the historic East Sussex village of Robertsbridge and within a High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
This distinctive house has been internally remodelled incorporating a versatile and stylish kitchen/dining/family room. The double aspect sitting room with a multi fuel stove has outlooks over the lovely front and rear gardens. The adjoining bedroom suite, (currently used as a study), and en suite shower room leads to a home office, and a utility room with a range of fitted cupboards, and space for appliances, with direct access to a very useful covered passageway linking the front and rear gardens.
The entrance hall, with integral cupboard and separate cloakroom, links to the sitting room and to the multi-purpose kitchen/breakfast room/dining/family room with excellent bespoke large range of fitted cupboards, central island with breakfast bar, extensive work surfaces, integrated double oven, combi-microwave oven, five burner gas hob, extractor canopy, integrated dishwasher, main sink with Quooker tap, and a further useful prep area with sink. The kitchen area has an external door to a covered porch and access to an enclosed courtyard.
The family room has direct access via double doors to a Portland conservatory, with French doors from the conservatory to the rear garden. These rooms feature porcelain floor tiling with electric underfloor heating.
The first floor has four bedrooms all with a lovely outlook over the rear gardens, and countryside beyond. Bedroom one is also double aspect with an ensuite bathroom with a bath and separate shower.
Bedroom two also has an ensuite shower room. A separate family shower room is located off the landing. All feature modern white sanitary ware. There is a range of built-in wardrobes along the landing and loft ladder access to the loft area. Also generous accessible eaves storage spaces.
Covehurst is approached via electric gates with the drive leading to a English Heritage oak framed open car barn with storage area, lighting and power. Also a substantial parking area suitable for several cars.
The front gardens are laid to lawn with evergreen hedging and planting areas . The main beautifully landscaped gardens lie to the rear, with a generous stone paved terrace and sitting area partly shaded with a timber pergola with flowering climbing plants. An ornamental fish pond has varieties of freshwater fish.
The lawn stretches away, with herbaceous borders and shrubs and a Wisteria clad Summer House. Separated from the formal garden is a lovely natural wild flower area, and on to a productive kitchen garden, with a greenhouse, fruit cage, cutting garden, and orchard with several sheds and a store suitable for lawn mowing equipment. A number of these outbuildings benefit from power and lighting.
