This wonderful house has belonged to our family for nearly 50 years.

Its been an exceptional home .....sleepovers, exams passed, Christmases, birthdays, family gatherings, new baby, first steps, camps in the garden, staycations...why go away when you live in this beautiful setting?

We often felt we were on holiday and spent many hours gazing out of the windows at the view...probably should have been doing homework but we did feel we had the finest view in the village.

We have loved being part of village life, spending time on the local beach, going on our favourite walks...(a footpath with stunning views over the South Downs, starts just 59 paces from the drive...we've counted!), or just relaxing at home and in the garden.

We are really sad that the family home is no longer needed but are so thankful for the time we've enjoyed here and for the many happy memories. The time has come for someone else to enjoy it.......

It hasn't been available to buy for nearly half a century so a rare and unique opportunity for this to become your happy home. Wealden Council Tax Band - F EPC Rating - D
