6 bedroom house

Downe Court Manor sits in the heart of the village. It was built in 1690 on the site of an earlier manor house, likely to have been surrounded by a moat.
This Grade II listed building has attractive red brick elevations, sash windows offering accommodation of around 5000 sq ft. over three floors.
On the market for the first time in over forty years the property is a unique opportunity to purchase an estate that extends to around 18 acres adjacent to Downe House, the once home of Charles Darwin.
Approached by a woodland flanked drive that extends to over 300m and culminates in a magnificent lawned frontage and circular drive.
The main residence is formed of the house and 7 acres of established gardens and two paddocks approaching 11 Acres.
The house requires some updating and has tremendous potential, with accommodation over three floors offering eight bedrooms.
The kitchen still has its original bread oven, and there are original inglenook fireplaces to two of the four reception rooms. There is also a large cellar accessed from the hall.
Outside there are two further buildings:-
A 1200 sq ft. flint barn with stables and set out yard positioned close to the main house.
And a second barn measuring 47 x 25 with direct access from Luxted Road. This has potential subject to planning to create ancillary accommodation.
There is further land available by separate negotiation.
