An attractive, detached family house sat in about 1.76 acres offering considerable potential, with far-reaching countryside views
Found in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the East Sussex countryside and on the market for the first time in thirty years requiring modernisation, Field House provides a wonderful opportunity for a new family to put their stamp on this charming home moving forward.
The very generous ground floor has been configured to suit the previous owner's requirements in recent years but can be arranged to suit individual needs with much scope for extension and updating, subject to all necessary consents and permissions.
Currently the reception hall leads to a large dual aspect sitting room, with sliding glazed doors that provide a delightful view over and open onto the terrace and gardens beyond. There are two further reception rooms, currently used as a formal dining room and a TV/family room.
The light filled, open plan kitchen/breakfast/conservatory room also overlooks and opens onto the gardens. The traditional-style kitchen with a range of wall and floor mounted units and worktops, provides good storage and preparation space, together with a range of integrated appliances. A wet room connects to the utility room, with a sink and space for further white goods which in turn has access to the large integral garage.
On the first floor, the large, dual aspect, principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, an en suite shower room and wonderful views of the countryside beyond. Bedroom two also benefits from a dual aspect with views to the rear and fitted wardrobes. There are two further bedrooms, again with fitted wardrobes, and a modest family bathroom which completes the accommodation.
Steps from the brick paved terrace lead down to the formal gardens, with an adjoining L-shaped paddock totalling about 1.76 acres in all. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with a range of mature shrubs and trees providing good screening, including an apple tree, pear tree, silver birch and evergreen conifers, and wonderful views of the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The separate studio/outbuilding of some 671 sq ft, formerly a four-car garage, was converted by the previous owner to become a large games room, but offers scope for any number of uses, such as a home office, ideal for today's working from home needs, home gym, games room, or further ancillary accommodation (subject to any and all necessary planning permission and consents).
To the front, the gravelled carriage driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, with further mature shrubs and trees providing a screen of privacy from Yew Tree Lane. There is a five-bar gate to the side of the property that gives access to the rear gardens and paddock beyond.

I am so excited for and a little envious of, whoever is lucky enough to secure Field House; what a chance to get immersed in renovating this much loved home in this delightful countryside setting. Interior design mags and paintbrushes at the ready, this is a rare and exciting opportunity!
