Property description
This wonderfully elegant family home is situated on the outskirts of the popular village of Peasmarsh, which offers a good range of local amenities including a supermarket and primary school. The Ancient Cinque Port of Rye is just 6 miles away, and is a beautiful town with many bespoke shops, restaurants and an array of other services including a mainline train station to the coast or Ashford International with its direct route to London or the Continent.
The property is approached via iron gates leading into a gravel drive and parking area, this is when you get your first glimpse of this truly breath taking Georgian house, it really is a house to be proud of. It has been built over two time periods; the front with its classic late Georgian façade and 18thcentury rear that still has many of its original period features, which is why it has been listed as being of architectural and historical interest.
On entering the house you are greeted with the fabulously large entrance hall with a fine turned Georgian staircase and magnificent high ceilings giving a fantastic feeling of light and space. The sitting room is just beautiful with sash windows and a focal fireplace; this really is an elegant room. The study continues the theme with a fireplace and sash windows. The kitchen/breakfast room is in the older part of this home and is partly vaulted and has a typical farmhouse feel with exposed beams overhead, bespoke units and a wood burning stove. You have five bedrooms split over two floors.
What the Owner says:
We had searched long and hard for a house to move to from North London and fell in love with this property at first sight. We were and remain entranced by the combination of its high Georgian elegance in the 1820 front section skilfully grafted onto the early eighteenth century Farm House to the South. The South facing logia patio opens onto a view of lawns and trees with farmland beyond - the finest of High Wealden landscape. During our time at this property we have worked on its amazing garden, fencing the pond, restoring the greenhouse, maintaining the arboretum and reinstating the borders. We have had glorious years here getting to know the area and its friendly people. Sadly we must move on but will not leave East Sussex.
