The Old Lodge, is Grade II Listed and is the oldest house in the village of Fletching, dating from the 15th century. The property is a timber-framed building with plaster infilling and red brick, with a steep pitched hipped tile roof and a catslide tiled roof to the rear.
This beautiful home has been painstakingly restored by the current owners and offers elegant, classical proportions throughout with a wonderful sense of light and space, with high ceilings, numerous stunning fireplaces and wood burning stoves and large sash windows throughout.
Leading off the entrance hall are several reception rooms all
exquisitely decorated, full of charm and colour. There is a generous snug with working open fireplace which leads through to a wonderful kitchen, with bespoke DeVol cabinetry, electric two oven AGA and marble worktops with ample room for a dining table.
Off the kitchen is a downstairs cloakroom and beautifully fitted utility room. There is also a lovely family sitting room with open fireplace and a delightful formal dining room with wall to wall fitted bookshelves and a wood burning stove.
On the first and second floors there are six bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms, a well appointed family bathroom and a separate cloakroom.
The Old Lodge is approached to the front off the high street of Fletching with a gate and central path leading to the front door with off street parking to the side of the property. The exquisite gardens, on a large village plot of circa 0.75 acres, have been totally redesigned and landscaped, including a stone terrace, vegetable garden, formal parterres and hedges, an orchard with wild flower meadow and beautifully planted herbaceous and perennial borders.
Beside the house is a wonderful original barn, renovated to include an upstairs studio, with kitchen, shower room and large sitting/entertaining room on the ground floor and two other rooms which offer enormous scope to create a gym, home office, workshop or large games room.
The Old Lodge is a wonderful and stylishly reimagined family home in the heart of Fletching, East Sussex.
