Newbridge, Colemans Hatch, Hartfield, East Sussex, TN7

Nestled in the heart of the Ashdown Forest, New Bridge Mill House is a stunning Grade II listed property which has been recently exquisitely renovated with immense attention to detail by the current owners. Despite refurbishment, the property retains its original character and 16th century features and charm while carefully and thoughtfully integrating contemporary life. The garden has been meticulously landscaped, creating an exceptionally beautiful space throughout the year.

The house is arranged over two floors. The ground floor offers an entrance hall with adjacent boot room as well as guest WC, kitchen/breakfast room, walk-in pantry, family sitting room, spacious formal dining/garden room, laundry room, study and separate bedroom suite connected to the house by a glass link offering an uninterrupted view onto the garden. The first floor provides a spacious master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and sauna as well as a dressing room, three further double bedrooms (of which one is ensuite) and a family bathroom. Further storage opportunities can be found in the attic space and built-in storage spaces across the first and ground floors. The property is accompanied by a two-bay oak framed garage, with a guest suite above.

Newly landscaped and re-designed by the current owners in collaboration with renowned garden architects, the circa 3.1 acres south facing garden offers two main dining areas, a seating area, an outdoor kitchen and a cedar-hot tub. Close to the main house, a newly built Victorian style greenhouse is surrounded by raised flower and vegetable beds. The gardens also encompass a large pond, summer house, dock, small fishing boat and wild flower meadow with play area (tree swing, in ground trampoline, and zipline). These features are embedded in a landscape of perennial flowers, shrubs and ornamental grasses, interspersed with pathways that encircle the garden and pond and lead to the woodland and meadow areas at the back of the property.

Access to the property is provided by a private driveway leading to the parking adjacent to the property. The property is accessible via both its own footbridge from the parking area as well as a larger bridge from the driveway.
