Description
Introducing a charming 200-year-old, freehold, equestrian property situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, where the tranquil surroundings make it a peaceful rural retreat. This beautiful property boasts 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2 reception rooms, offering ample space for comfortable living. With no-maintenance, low-charge, efficient electric boiler to radiators, double-glazed windows, 3 gardens with a tack room and wine store, a sun room, and a gardener's loo leading to a large vegetable plot with greenhouse.
There is a separate office, workshop, granny annex or holiday let complex, which has been used as extra accommodation and bedroom and currently houses the sauna, hot tub and gym, artist's studio, office and children's play house. This home has potential for many uses and is designed for comfort, convenience, relaxation and working from home.
The property then continues to its separate 3 loose-box stable block with its own gated yard and 2 paddocks set in two thirds of an acre with an additional 1.6 acre field for optional rent.
For those with a penchant for outdoor activities, this property offers numerous opportunities, including many walks and horse rides right from the doorstep where horses quietly graze alongside deer and badgers. Conveniently located just a mile from Groombridge and Groombridge Place, and within 3 miles of Tunbridge Wells this home provides proximity to amenities while maintaining a serene atmosphere away from the bustle.
Additionally, the property's advantageous location offers easy commute access, being only two and a half miles from Eridge station and three and a half from Tunbridge Wells. It is in the catchment area for the outstanding St Thomas' CE Primary School and Beacon Academy secondary school with its Sixth Form Centre as well as access to the many excellent schools in Tunbridge Wells. The existence of a garage and secure parking space with parking for another 6 cars adds to the ease of living in this splendid home.
This unique property on a private road also boasts features such as fibre internet, electricity mains, water mains, and drainage mains, ensuring modern connectivity and essential utilities. There are open fireplaces in the living room and dining room for more cosy, intimate evenings as well as a solid fuel Rayburn cooker in the kitchen. With a council tax band of F and an approximate tax cost of £3000, the property offers a manageable financial aspect.
Owning an electric car is considered very green but the existence of the modern electric boiler using the same supply instantly pushes the epc rating into G, even though there are no emissions and no service visits necessary. It is thermostatically controlled with a Hive controller and there is insulation where none was assumed on the epc rating. The loft is fully insulated, boarded and carpeted and electric costs are a lot less than £2000 per year against the epc estimate of £3737.
Overall, this home presents an opportunity to reside in an idyllic setting with a blend of historic charm and modern comforts, making it an ideal place to call home.
