DESCRIPTION: Probably one of the finest bespoke Sussex Barn conversions in the south east. This detached and extensive sized imposing Grade II barn conversion presently has a floor area extending to over 4,420 square feet, with potential to incorporate more if required subject to planning.



The fabulous variety of magnificent original exposed beams and impressive vaulted ceilings throughout this superb property are quite awe inspiring. Especially as the current owners have carefully and lovingly converted and enhanced the property’s interior with no expense seemingly being spared in order to create a truly luxurious country family residence. The majority of the fittings, bathrooms in addition to the sumptuous kitchen / breakfast room are by Neptune. Every oak door has been fastidiously hand crafted by a bespoke master carpenter with handmade period style hinges in addition to many of the oak frames and other interior oak finishings.



In today's modern living styles, every part of the ground floor reception areas, are predominantly designed to be large open plan areas with the most stunning vaulted beamed ceilings towering above and resembling a magnificent ancient styled cathedral.



The whole of the ground floor has underfloor heating and two substantial sized impressive cast iron wood burners, one of which occupies a most wonderous bespoke stone inglenook.



All the oak windows are of laminated oak and almost all enjoy stunning aspects of the adjoining countryside and beautiful rural views beyond.



Converted by a respected artisan builder, this magnificent Grade II listed barn has been extensively insulated and high-quality materials were used throughout the construction process, including replacement exterior oak cladding.



The large detached heritage style outbuildings in addition to the attached annex are ideal subject to planning permission use and conversion into high yielding holiday letting units if required.



SITUATION: Located in a textbook perfect setting, set off a very quiet country lane in an elevated position within its own grounds of approximately four acres and enjoying absolutely stunning breath-taking views of the adjoining Sussex countryside and beyond all the way to the coast on a clear day or moonlit night.



Situated only a short drive from the highly sought-after picturesque village of Rushlake Green with its excellent local shop and post office, this property couldn’t be more ideally located.



London families looking to relocate to more desirable rural areas, specifically see Rushlake Green as a perfect area to commute from, as city commuters can easily reach the mainline station of Stonegate within about 15 minutes by car.



Depending on educational needs, there is probably an unrivalled selection of respected teaching institutions available fairly locally, with Mayfield School for Girls, Battle Abbey, Skippers Hill and Heathfield Community College to name but a few.



Heathfield town which is within only a very short drive, has an excellent variety of shopping and leisure facilities including both Waitrose and Sanisbury, as well as numerous artisan shops and restaurants.
