We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
This truly unique family home, formerly the village reservoir serving Northiam, has been imaginatively converted to create a striking and highly individual residence arranged around and above the original water tank.
The property retains a wealth of character throughout, with thick concrete walls forming part of the internal structure and exposed brick pillars cleverly concealing the original support columns, resulting in a home of exceptional architectural interest.
The ground floor accommodation centres around a spacious open-plan living area, incorporating both dining and sitting spaces and enhanced by an impressive inglenook fireplace, creating a warm and inviting focal point.
Further accommodation includes a study, a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and cloakroom, all thoughtfully arranged to suit modern family living.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom suite benefits from a dressing room and en-suite shower room, while three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
One of the bedrooms enjoys direct access onto a terrace leading to the elevated gardens, allowing for a seamless connection between the internal accommodation and outside space.
From the main living area, steps descend to the impressive indoor swimming pool complex, where doors open directly onto a substantial stone terrace, creating an ideal setting for entertaining and leisure.
Further stairs lead to the pump room, changing facilities and shower room, while access is also provided to a versatile basement area currently suited for use as a cinema room, games room or gymnasium.
A staircase from this level returns to the ground floor accommodation. Externally, double gates open onto a gravel driveway which wraps around the property and leads to the garage.
The surrounding gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped, with steps rising to a lawned area adjoining the roof terrace, while a gently sloping lawn and steps descend to the stone terrace and pool area, offering excellent spaces for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment.
The elevated roof terrace enjoys attractive far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, including towards the renowned Great Dixter House & Gardens and the wider Weald landscape.
The property is situated within the popular village of Northiam, which offers a range of everyday amenities including local shops, a bakery, ironmongers, post office, doctor’s surgery, opticians and pet shop.
The historic towns of Rye and Tenterden are both approximately 15 minutes away by car and provide a more comprehensive selection of shopping, leisure and recreational facilities.
