A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY HOME STANDING IN AN ELEVATED POSITION WITH LOVELY GARDENS AND GROUNDS AND GLORIOUS VIEWS TOWARDS THE ASHDOWN FOREST DESCRIPTION Sunhill House is a wonderful family home which is understood to date from 1932. This much-loved house has been in the same ownership for 40 years and is approached from a sought-after private road which leads to the property's sweeping entrance drive. Immediately upon entering the house one is struck by a sense of light, space and character. Leading off the spacious entrance hall is the well-proportioned double aspect drawing room which has an impressive open fireplace, extensive built-in book shelving and a southerly outlook over the garden and grounds beyond. The dining room is particularly generous and provides space not only for a large dining table but also a seating area. The house is currently arranged with two large kitchens/breakfast rooms as the property is being occupied by two generations of the same family. One of these rooms could easily be converted to provide a further well-proportioned reception room. One of the kitchens has been recently refitted with an attractive range of units and appliances. Approached from an elegant wide staircase with two half landings, the first floor provides a large principal bedroom, with ensuite/Jack and Jill bathroom. In addition to the main bedroom there are four further bedrooms, a study and two additional bathrooms. Planning consent has been granted for a proposed extension to the eastern side of the main house, connecting to a proposed replacement garage/store, to form an annex. Planning was granted by Wealden District Council on 14th January 2022, Planning Reference WD/2021/2792/F. OUTSIDE Sunhill House is approached from a private road with its own entrance driveway which leads up through the grounds to a wide turning circle/parking area. The house sits well within its own grounds which surround the house on all sides and have been landscaped mainly to lawns for easy maintenance. On the southern side of the house there is a wide terrace from which there is a lovely outlook over the property's small paddock and the countryside beyond. Lying to one side of the house and detached from it is a substantial barn currently providing garaging and storage. Located to one side of the barn is a large heated swimming pool set into a paved surround. Also within the grounds are a log store, stable block, garden sheds and a greenhouse. From the grounds there are superb far-reaching views. In all about 1.5 acres. LOCATION Sunhill House is conveniently situated near the popular village of Forest Row and is within close proximity to the Ashdown Forest and Golf Course. The village offers a range of day-to-day shopping facilities, a health centre, vet, primary school, churches and pubs/restaurants.
