**ONLY THE SECOND TIME ON THE MARKET IN 50 YEARS!!!**
A rare opportunity to purchase a handsome detached, grade II listed property thought to date back some 350 years. Formally the residence of Jonathan Harmer, a local stonemason, surveyor and potter whose splendid work is well known all over the county of Sussex, Harmers was aptly named after its 'famous' occupier. Bursting with character, this beautiful 'one of a kind' property has been sympathetically restored and modernised, retaining many charming & quirky features.
From a spacious entrance hall, Step into an impressive living room, with its huge arched window and vast ceilings this sunny reception room also features a fully operational open fire. Following round to the dining room there are windows to two aspects and another open fire, whilst a beautiful Oak floor flows seamlessly, matched in quality by the hand crafted doors and door frames through out the property. With delightful views onto the garden, a bespoke kitchen hosts a Stanley cooker along with a gorgeous granite working surface and ornate French doors, original stone walls make for an impressive feature and stepping through an archway leads to the utility room and a downstairs lavatory.
Upstairs accommodation is unconventionally arranged over three levels, a few stairs rise from a central landing to a grand master bedroom hosting double aspect windows, one of which is another large feature window, a walk in cupboard, and a modern en suite including a double width shower cubicle. Bedroom two is positioned next to a huge, tastefully modernised master bathroom which features oak flooring and an in-keeping white suite. Bedroom two includes storage space into the eaves as well as glorious garden views. Another stair case rises to the occasional third bedroom, currently used as a study, where a conservation light window as well as a secondary window allows for sunshine to flood in throughout the day.
Outside the property, picturesque gardens surround two sides of the property. A large area of lawn is generously garnished with a variety of mature shrubs, trees and a large pond, transforming this quarter of an acre space into a truly magnificent English garden - co-existing with nature to create an ideal blend of usable garden and natural tranquillity. Various seating areas make the garden ideal for entertaining outdoors or relaxing in the sunshine.
