    About this property

    • Starting with an exceptional location, at the end of Warren Road, with bridleway access and views across to the Ashdown Forest, this purchase is an exciting opportunity to complete a part finished development project, aiming to create a very large and impressive, luxury detached family home.

      The property has currently been through a significant enlargement and redesign from the original country estate, clock house building, incorporating a large modern extension, which is cleverly tied in to part of the original building, with both the new and the old elements featuring large sheet windows and sandstone block walls, inside and out. The feeling of light and space is very impressive to behold and highlights of note include the massive combined kitchen, dining and living area covering a width of 56 ft, as well as the hugely spacious principal bedroom suite, complete with a balcony and two dressing rooms, a bathroom and a shower room isolated away from the other accommodation, at the highest point offering the finest views.

      The main accommodation has largely been built out, with the property having reached the fit-out stage internally, but clearly with much more to do with the swimming pool building and all the exterior landscaping.

      A bridleway/public right of way runs through the land, giving access to the Ashdown Forest. To the other side of this, there is a garage building with consent for parking, storage along with an office and gym.

    Potentially a stunning, very special home, created through an imaginative and contemporary extrapolation of this character building, so it would be great to see this project taken over and completed. For me, the combination of large sheet windows and sandstone block walls, tying together the old and the new build, representing exceptional blended architecture.
