An exceptional rural position on the edge of the Ashdown Forest.
A most attractive property, built as a country retreat in the 1920s and enjoyed as a much-loved family home for the last thirty-one years in this idyllic Ashdown Forest setting within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
This is a rarely-found opportunity for renovation in a wonderful tucked away position at the end of a long tree-lined driveway, surrounded by fields, yet conveniently placed just 2.6 miles from the popular village of Hartfield and about 12 miles from Tunbridge Wells.
Brook House is built in a traditional local style and enjoys access and commoners' rights to the Forest, famed for being the fictional home of Winnie the Pooh', created by the author AA Milne who lived near-by.
The living space currently comprises a characterful principal reception room featuring a wide fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove and linking through to a dining room, kitchen and a utility area.
This in turn gives access to a wing, ideal for teenagers or elderly relatives being a self-contained ground floor annexe, or office, and comprising a living area, a bedroom, a wet room and a kitchen. Five further bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the accommodation.
