Heathfield

Welcome home
Experience the warm embrace of a solid Edwardian town house, conveniently situated in the heart of the vibrant village of Heathfield.

Nestled on the cusp of Ashdown Forest and poised between Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne, offering the best of both worlds, with a wilderness of walks on the doorstep, and excellent shops, schools and transport links within easy reach.

Character and comfort
Pull through the gated entrance and park up on the large, golden gravel driveway. A handsome home, with refitted soffits and facias, refurbished sills and windows, dating back to 1903, embracing Edwardian prestige alongside modern family living, with newly fitted bathrooms and ensuites.

Festooned in greenery to the front, make your way indoors arriving in the warmth and welcome of the reception hall. Light streams through the windows above and to either side of the door, whilst a handsome fireplace with granite hearth is evocative of the home's hundred-year heritage.

Wooden flooring flows out underfoot, whilst modern soft grey hues adorn the walls. Immediately impressing the quality of the refurbishment undertaken, a high-end palette of Little Greene, Farrow and Ball and Neptune can be seen throughout the home. High skirtings, elegant cornicing, large airy rooms and wide doorways epitomise the Edwardian grandeur of this home.

Work from home
Nestled to the left, a spacious reception room furnished with shelving and bespoke storage currently serves as a peaceful study; ideal for those working from home. A flexible room, it could also work well as a play room, snug or even an accessible ground floor bedroom.

Passing by the foot of the stairs, to the left of the study make your way along an inner hallway to arrive at the spacious utility room, where bespoke units offer ample storage, tiled flooring flows underfoot and there is plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. With a large sink and a handy pantry cupboard, there is also access out to the side from this room.

Family time
Returning along the hallway, broad, double doors open to the drawing room on the left. Suffused in light from two gracefully curving bay windows, admire the gloriously verdant views as you relax and unwind in front of the television, inset within a bespoke, recently fitted media wall with cupboard space and alcove shelving.

Warm and cosy in winter, with its attractive fireplace, and refreshingly cool in summer with the French doors thrown open to the garden, this truly is a home for all seasons.

The heart of the home
Returning to the hallway, heritage tones of blue green add character in the cloakroom, where storage can be found in the vanity unit wash basin accompanying the WC, as light enters through a large window above. Another door connects to the garden beyond from this hallway, before making your way through into the embrace of the spacious open-plan dining kitchen: the heart of the home.

Tall windows retain a constant connection with the outdoors, whilst high ceilings, dotted with inset spotlights, amplify the airy spaciousness of the room, blending classic character with contemporary features.

Feast your eyes
A trio of pendant lights shine down over the central island breakfast bar, where a pull-out drawer Fisher and Paykel dairy fridge can be found alongside ample storage. Bespoke, fitted units provide a profusion of storage space, with plenty of room for the preparation of meals on the gleaming white worktops.

Designed with modern family living in mind, a fitted tea and coffee cupboard keeps clutter hidden away from view, catering for speedy breakfasts on school-run mornings. Other fitted appliances include a Miele dishwasher, with space for an American style fridge freezer in the utility room, and a stainless steel Rangemaster within the inglenook of the kitchen.

Stairs lead down from the ground floor to a dry and spacious wine cellar below, where there is scope to store hundreds of bottles, whilst stairs also run up to the first-floor landing, home to five characterful bedrooms.

Soak and sleep
Turning left at the top of the stairs, discover the first of the double bedrooms, where a fitted wardrobe stands beside the characterful fireplace and a bespoke, sage green display unit to another wall. Carpeted underfoot, sash windows frame verdant views over the garden.

Along the landing, and currently serving as a home gym, discover the fifth bedroom, a well-proportioned and flexible room, carpeted underfoot and awash with light from a large sash window. High ceilings prevail throughout Low Wood, emphasising the spaciousness of the rooms. Tucked around the corner from this bedroom there is a handy WC with wash basin, heated towel radiator and white metro splashback feature tiles.

Returning along the landing, another handsome solid wood door on the left opens to the third of the double bedrooms, where views extend out over the manicured garden towards Eastbourne through a bountiful bay window- a spectacular sight on a sunny day. Another handsome fireplace instils character. Freshen up in the immaculate shower room ensuite, tiled in white to the walls, with rainfall shower, chrome heated towel radiator, wash basin and WC.

Back on the landing, admire the striking original tiles of the feature fireplace in the principal bedroom, where enchanting views await from the bay window out over the garden towards Eastbourne. With abundant space for a super king size bed, this bedroom is a true sanctuary, served by a spacious dressing room, fully furnished with fitted wardrobes in subtle earthy tones, and an elegant ensuite, where herringbone patterned tiles lie underfoot.

Refresh and revive
Soothe your senses with a soak in the freestanding claw footed bath with showerhead attachment. A modern heated towel radiator features alongside twin blush pink vanity unit wash basins, a wall mounted WC and a double width walk-in wet room style shower with gleaming gold-veined marble feature walls.

Passing the foot of the second staircase, discover the family bathroom, similarly styled with claw foot roll top bath, sublimely spacious shower with drench head, vanity unit wash basin and WC.

Another spacious double bedroom with two large sash windows and ample space for a king size bed and wardrobes awaits along the landing.

Ascend the second staircase up to the second floor, where the vaulted ceiling of the cinema room and games room, rises up. Impressively sized, versatile, carpeted underfoot and with a drop-down cinema screen, abundant storage can be found within the eaves.

Garden escapes
The garden is a private oasis, lovingly landscaped and offering both tranquillity for adults to relax and entertain, and space for children to play.

Mature shrubs and hedges offer shelter, screening and shade, whilst stunning feature trees - including a magnificent tulip tree, a flourishing magnolia and a vibrant Japanese maple bring colour and texture to the garden throughout the seasons.

South facing, the garden is bathed in sunlight throughout much of the day, with abundant lawn space for children to run and play, as well as areas perfectly suited for unwinding in the sun or hosting gatherings.

Recent updates include a renovated door to the garden, external power sockets and practical wall lighting. An insulated workshop with updated electrics also offers great potential.
