Palehouse Common, Framfield, Uckfield, East Sussex

Reputed to be the second oldest barn in Sussex, Palehouse Farm Barn offers a unique opportunity to create your forever home nestled in the stunning Sussex countryside. The finished accommodation would create an adaptable and striking home of over 9,000 square feet of property with a wealth of beamed and character features including a magnificent vaulted drawing room with a mezzanine lounge above. Considerable work has already been undertaken by the current owners, including new roofs with handmade Tudor clay tiles and hand-built windows and the first fix has been completed. In addition, one wing has also been converted to create a two-bedroom annexe where our clients currently reside. Our clients are happy to provide further information where neccessary.

Approached by a gated driveway, Palehouse Barn provides ample parking and is set back from the lane with a mature brick-edged pond surrounded by established trees and shrubs. As you approach the barn, there is an enclosed courtyard with retaining brick wall providing privacy and with five bar gate to the driveway. The barn opens out onto the rear to a secret and enclosed garden mostly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs and access to the main barn and stabling. The paddocks lie to the North-West of the barn, and the land gently undulates away, affording stunning countryside views towards Framfield. There is also access to a footpath from which you can walk to the village of Framfield and the local public house called The Hare & Hounds. The property is set up as an excellent equestrian facility and in total, the land amounts to 11.8 acres.

Surrounded by the East Sussex countryside, the property enjoys a picturesque setting, offering a haven for nature and walking enthusiasts. The town of Uckfield offers a comprehensive range of shopping and leisure facilities including bars and restaurants, a cinema, supermarkets and a leisure centre, as well as a railway station with services to London.
