The beautifully proportioned accommodation has a wealth of character features and includes a striking reception hall, elegant interlinking principal reception rooms and a garden room opening out to the terrace, creating lovely adaptable space for entertaining. There are eight good sized bedrooms on the first floor and two further second floor rooms currently used as an office and storage.

Potential to purhcase additional land by seperate negotiation. If interested, please discuss with Strutt and Parker for further details.<br /><br />Equestrian Facilities and Outbuildings
For those requiring accommodation for horses, the compact facilities lie a short distance away from the main house and are well designed for ease of use and maintenance, comprising a large American-style barn fitted with six Hancox indoor stables, a wash and drying area and a tack room. The full-size sand school measures 60m x 20m with an oil based surface and an additional smaller arena is ideal for lunging or turnout. The level fields are fenced and currently divided into several smaller connecting turnout paddocks, close to the barn and interspersed by mature trees. The surrounding outbuildings include a substantial workshop (previously a squash court), a hay store, a triple stable block and further garaging and stores, there is also a horse walker.
The Grounds
Broom is set within a total of about 18.3 acres surrounding the main house and outbuildings. The paddocks lie on the northern side, together with a block of mature woodland, recently cleared to create a network of walking or riding tracks. A wide terrace and an expanse of lawn fringed by trees lie to the south, forming a lovely backdrop which can be seen from the majority of rooms.<br /><br />Situation
Broom is conveniently located off a small country lane, close to the Crowborough Beacon Golf Club and the Ashdown Forest in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Crowborough town centre is about 3.2 miles away and the mainline station at Jarvis Brook is a little further offering a regular commuter service to London Bridge. Tunbridge Wells lies about 9.6 miles to the north via the A26. A footpath from the property links directly to the network of walks over the Golf Club which lies to the east. Crowborough is well-served by supermarkets including Waitrose, Morrisons and Tesco and a good choice of shops for everyday requirements. Uckfield (7 miles) and Tunbridge Wells (9.4 miles) offer more comprehensive facilities.

There are many well-regarded schools in the area, including primaries and the Beacon Academy at secondary level in Crowborough. Preparatories include Cumnor House (Danehill), Ashdown House (Forest Row), Brambletye (East Grinstead) and Holmewood House (Langton Green).
