Believed to date from the 17th century or earlier, Sellens is an attractive double fronted part black- and-white timbered and tile-hung family home offering almost 2,600 sq. Ft. Of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged in an L-shaped configuration predominantly over two floors. Attractive period features include casement windows, original joinery, exposed wall and ceiling beams and feature fireplaces.
The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming entrance hall and comprises a large 25 ft. Drawing room with feature quarry-tiled flooring and large inglenook open fireplace, a generous sitting room with feature fireplace with woodburning stove and a well proportioned study. The extensive 32 ft. Kitchen features quarry-tiled flooring, a range of wall and base units, a Belfast sink, an Aga, modern integrated appliances and a breakfast area with built-in seating and space for a good-sized table. A fitted utility room with useful cloakroom and a stable door to the rear terrace completes the ground floor facilities.
Stairs rise from the drawing room and kitchen to the first floor which provides a spacious principal bedroom with built-in storage and contemporary en suite shower room, four well-proportioned double bedrooms and two generous modern family bathrooms, both with freestanding baths.<br /><br />Having plenty of kerb appeal, Sellens is approached over a central block-paved pedestrian path and through a five-bar gate over a gravelled side driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to a large brick- and stone-built outbuilding incorporating a workshop and two open-sided garages/store rooms. The well-maintained walled garden surrounding the property on three sides is laid mainly to level lawn interspersed with specimen trees and bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds and features numerous seating areas, a vegetable/herb garden with green house and garden and tool sheds together with generous paved terraces, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.<br /><br />The popular and picturesque village of East Hoathly offers a wide range of day-to-day amenities including a church, village hall, local shops, gp and veterinary surgeries, primary school and sports pavilion with tennis club. The village also benefits from a regular bus service connecting to regional centres, while the nearest train station is in Uckfield. The historic county town of Lewes lies about 9 miles to the south-west and provides an excellent range of shops, restaurants and recreational facilities. The coastal, business and entertainment centres of Eastbourne and Brighton & Hove are approximately 14 and 18 miles respectively.
The area offers a wide range of state primary and secondary schooling together with a good selection of noted independent schools including Bede’s Senior School, Annan, Lewes Old Grammar, Northease Manor and Eastbourne College as well as Roedean, Charterhouse and Bedales.
