Features and description
- Freehold
A gorgeous C17 Grade II listed house with two storeys and two hipped dormers built with red brick and sandstone quoins, string course and key stones with brick relieving arches with later additions and outbuildings.
The Old House lies in the small hamlet of Buckham Hill close to the village of Isfield and has been in the same ownership for over 40 years and now requires updating. It offers excellent family accommodation with well-proportioned rooms, and particularly generous ceiling heights for a property of its age. The house is full of romance from a bygone era and comprises an entrance lobby, a large formal drawing room, with inglenook fireplace, double aspect sitting room with fireplace, and a formal dining room. There are an abundance of period features and wall panelling and three staircases. There is a kitchen/breakfast room, utility, downstairs shower room and cellar.
The first floor is approached via three staircases all charming and offering access to the various bedrooms and bathrooms. There is a stunning principal bedroom with a large inglenook fireplace and the adjacent bedroom is currently used as a dressing room. There are two further bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. Arranged over the second floor are two interconnecting bedrooms, one with a walk-in store cupboard.
The Old House is approached via a shared drive with parking and store to one side. Beautiful gardens surround the house with various landscaped areas and terraces perfect for entertaining in this idyllic setting.
The Old House is approached off Buckham Hill along the shared driveway from which a wooden picket fence and entrance gate leads into the rear of the property. To one side of the drive is a wide parking area from which a wrought iron gate leads through to the more formal gardens to the front of the house.
The gardens are a particular feature of the property and include lawned areas, mature hedging and a wealth of mature plants and shrubs, including magnolia trees, wisteria, rhododendrons, and hydrangeas. There are two terraces which face south and west which are ideal for entertaining. There is a large pond and walled rose garden, an orchard and formal lawns. To the rear of the house is a detached annex/home office, comprising studio/shower room. In addition there is a substantial detached two storey period outbuilding with a 29' conservatory, kitchenette and first floor games room. In addition there is a substantial brick and tile garden store.
The gardens and grounds provide a very secluded and special setting for this beautiful period home, full of romance and charm.
The Old House is situated in the small unspoilt hamlet of Buckham Hill close to Isfield with a village hall and church and the heritage Lavender Line railway. The nearby town of Uckfield offers a good range of shopping facilities and schools, as well as a mainline station to London. Haywards Heath mainline station serves London Bridge and Victoria whilst the spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells serves London Charing Cross / Cannon Street. The market town of Lewes to the south provides a good range of local amenities and shops. The A23 to the west of Haywards Heath provides access to Brighton, Gatwick, the M25 and national motorway network.
There is an excellent selection of established preparatory, primary and public schools in the area including Little Horsted Primary, St Mark's School, Skippers Hill preparatory school and St Leonards at Mayfield. St Bedes at Upper Dicker, Vinehall, Community Colleges at Heathfield, Wadhurst and Robertsbridge Cumnor House, Great Walstead, Ardingly and Brighton College are all nearby too.
Worldwide renowned Glyndebourne Opera House, Goodwood Estate, Brighton Festival and Ardingly showground are all within easy reach. The local footpaths provide a vast network of stunning walks, many leading towards the beautiful South Downs National Park and the Ashdown Forest. There are numerous excellent Golf courses nearby including Royal Ashdown, Piltdown gc and East Sussex National, as well as reservoirs for water sports.
