Grade II listed fifteenth century farmhouse with many original internal features, set in a 2 acre landscaped garden with spring-fed lake and small vineyard
Built by a yeoman farmer in the late 15th century and now Grade II listed, the property is a rural medieval hall house, with a plethora of original beams, brick floors at ground floor level and leaded light windows throughout. A focal point of the property is the dining room (the original 'hall' of the house),which has a beautiful moulded and crenellated dais beam, massive walk-in fireplace, large brick oven and unusually high ceiling. There are two other reception rooms, both of which are light, airy and high-ceilinged, with exposed beams and fireplaces. There is a large farmhouse style kitchen with an AGA. There are two staircases at either end of the house leading up to a spacious landing and five bedrooms, all of which have exposed beams (including an original set of wig pegs on the beams of the master bedroom). Three of the bedrooms have Victorian fireplaces. The property has been sympathetically modernised throughout, ensuring that all of its quirky period features have been retained.

The property is located in a quiet country lane on the edge of an attractive East Sussex village. The house sits in a 2 acre Capability Brown-style landscape. A key feature of the garden is the beautiful small lake, which is framed by an oak walkway and marsh plants, and inhabited by mallards, moorhens, herons and resident kingfisher. The garden contains many mature shrubs and trees, most notable of which is a giant yew tree said to have been planted when the house was first built in the 15th century. The grassy slopes of the garden have been enhanced by the recent addition of a small vineyard. The property includes a cluster of period outhouses, one of which houses an office that can be used as a green room for film crew. There is a large driveway in front of the house with extensive parking space.
