Brede Hill, Brede, TN31

It is not hard to comprehend why the owners were attracted to this very special location. Not only are the grounds and views simply mesmerising, but this wonderful home offers someone the chance to live a more private, peaceful life and yet still be within easy reach of good shopping, leisure, educational and transport facilities. The village of Brede is only a short distance and the historic towns of Rye and Battle and the coastal town of Hastings are all within an 8 mile radius.

The house itself, thought to have been built in the 1950’s and then later extended, has a very cool on-trend mid-century feel and whilst the current vendors have done much to modernise and update this very individual home, they have also retained many of the features that make this property so special. Although someone could move in straight away, there is further potential to open up and reconfigure the kitchen / dining room / snug at the rear if desired or even to extend into the roof space or further back, subject of course to the necessary permissions.

But it is the outside space where adults, children and pets alike will want to spend as much time as possible, enjoying the extensive gardens, pottering in the greenhouse or simply sitting and relaxing on the large sundeck or in the bespoke tree and summer houses, relishing the spectacular views towards the East Sussex coast. This property also benefits from a driveway where there is parking for up to 7 cars if needed and a single garage. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate everything this unique property has to offer.

ACCOMMODATION

This most stylish bungalow benefits from well-proportioned reception rooms where large amounts of glazing, including a glass screened balcony to the sitting room at the front, bring in huge amounts of light and maximise the views of the glorious countryside and gardens beyond. As such, sunny days are wonderful here, with the sliding patio doors front and back thrown open to make the most of the idyllic surroundings. Cold winter days are equally as magical, cosied up in front of the two wood burners that have been recently installed in the sitting room and snug cum dining room.

ACCOMMODATION contd.

As it stands, this lovely home would suit any number of different buyers and is ready for someone to move in and start enjoying living there straight away. But for those who like a project, there is definitely scope to either open up the kitchen into the dining room / snug, extend into the roof space or further back, subject of course to the necessary permissions.

There is also a good size main bedroom with built-in storage and unrivalled views of the valley beyond, a second bedroom with walk-in wardrobe that has the space and plumbing in place for an en-suite if desired, a third bedroom with extensive built-in storage, currently used as a study, and a wet room style shower room and additional WC.

Comprising a mix of different areas to explore, the garden provides a haven for humans and wild life. A large terrace at the back of the house is perfect for lazy days in the sun, and there is even an Alaskan hot tub! At one end of the terrace is a large brick and timber greenhouse, perfect for pottering, underneath is an in ground 8,000 litre rainwater storage tank for irrigation.

OUTSIDE contd.
