Bewlbridge LaneWadhurst, East Sussex, TN5 6HJ

A spacious, bespoke family house, understood to have been built around 1937 for a well known, Wadhurst family and serving our clients as their long-standing family home, since 1984.

The house is nicely set back within the south facing plot of about 1.8 acres, and benefits from a surrounding mature garden, which provides a delightful setting for the residence, being secluded yet not isolated.

Today, the unlisted house requires upgrading and improvements, although the layout is a strong point and there are several retained, character features, including Crittall windows, doors and brick open fireplaces in the three principal reception rooms. The house has exceptional views of Bewl Water from all ground floor reception rooms, terrace and all six bedrooms. The large main sitting room is a particularly attractive feature, having double doors to a part covered garden terrace. Upstairs, the feeling of space and light throughout continues, with even more special views from the landing and bedrooms.

Outside, the approach drive leads to a turning circle and a large parking area in front of the house, with an adjoining double garage. The garden benefits from easily maintained lawns, shrubs and established trees, as well as the remains of a tennis court which offers scope for reinstatement. There is a vegetable garden and a large outbuilding with power and light.

A side gate from the rear garden accesses Hook Hill Lane with a network of footpaths and bridleways surrounding Bewl Water. It is also possible to access Bewl Water from further along Bewlbridge Lane.

In addition to the house and garden sale, across the lane, there is a large field and some woodland available as a separate ‘lot 2’ by negotiation. It has vehicle access from Bewlbridge Lane and pedestrian stile assess from Hook Hill Lane, with a grazing area about 12 acres and woodland about 2 acres, with a public footpath between the gate and stile.

The property is considered to have development potential through internal re-configuration, expansion or even as a replacement new build house, although buyers will need to make their own enquiries relating to planning permission being granted.
