About
Guide Price - £1,000,000 - £1,200,000 Set within the idyllic surrounds of Searles in the highly desirable village of Fletching, Godolphin is a distinctive former coach house dating from the mid-19th century, offering a rare blend of period charm and exceptional versatility.
Originally part of the historic Searles Estate, the property retains a strong sense of its heritage while providing well-balanced accommodation suited to modern living.
The main house enjoys a peaceful rural setting, with attractive outlooks across its gardens and the East Sussex countryside, combining privacy with convenient access to nearby amenities.
The property is approached via a private driveway through electric gates, leading to extensive hardstanding parking for more than eight vehicles.
The plot extends to over an acre and includes mature borders, sweeping lawns and well-established fruit and vegetable beds.
A south-facing patio, ideally positioned at the highest point of the garden, provides a perfect setting for al fresco dining while overlooking the swimming pool.
The home’s coach house origins are particularly evident on the first floor, where exceptionally high ceilings create a wonderful sense of volume and natural light.
Beautifully presented throughout, the accommodation is both characterful and practical.
The ground floor centres around a generous living room, complemented by a charming garden room/snug to the front and access through to a well-appointed country kitchen.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from a stylish en-suite showeroom, along with bespoke handmade cabinetry and wardrobes.
A superb family bathroom is located at the end of the landing, featuring a freestanding roll-top bath and a separate walk-in shower.
A particular highlight - and undoubtedly the crowning glory of Godolphin - is the impressive detached barn, extending to approximately 1,500 sq ft.
Currently arranged as office space, this substantial outbuilding offers an exceptional range of facilities, including a gym, workshop, extensive storage, kitchen, shower room, and generous entertaining areas.
Highly adaptable, the barn presents a wealth of possibilities for future use (subject to the necessary consents), including a self-contained guest cottage, creative studio, holiday let, pool house, teenage retreat, or an expansive entertaining venue - ideal for those seeking flexibility for work, leisure, or multi-generational living.
Despite its tranquil rural setting, the property is exceptionally well connected.
Fast and frequent rail services from nearby Haywards Heath provide direct links to London, with journey times to the capital of under 50 minutes (30 on the Gatwick Express), making it an ideal location for commuters.
The combination of a characterful period residence, a substantial and versatile ancillary building, generous grounds, and excellent transport links is rarely available.
Godolphin represents a unique opportunity to acquire a home of both charm and potential in one of East Sussex’s most sought-after locations
