4 bedroom house

Budletts Farmhouse is a very handsome
property with lovely views across the gardens
and surrounding fields. Part of the house was
built in 1840 with later additions, most recently
in 2004 providing overall 2,388 sq ft of light and
welcoming accommodation arranged over two
floors.
From the spacious entrance hall, a door
leads through to the elegantly proportioned
drawing room with a large and attractive open
fireplace, and an under stairs cupboard. From
the sitting room there is access to a good sized
study benefitting from fitted office furniture.
Also approached from the entrance hall is
the delightful dining room which leads in to
the kitchen/breakfast room with an AGA and
a walk-in larder, integrated dishwasher, an
induction hob and electric oven. Access to the
cloakroom is via a small hallway which leads
through a stable door, into a generous utility
room, with sink and storage.
The first floor is approached via the turn
staircase. At the far end of the landing is the
principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom
and dressing room with generous storage
cupboards. There are two further double
bedrooms with inbuilt cupboards and a family
bathroom, and a separate WC. Bedroom four
is currently used as an office. All rooms have
delightful views.

The property lies in a delightful semi-rural
position between the town of Uckfield and the
village of Maresfield, and is approached via a
shared lane. Uckfield High Street provides an
extensive range of local shopping facililties and
schools, together with a mainline train service to
London.
The regional centres in the area, Lewes and
Haywards Heath are about 10 and 12 miles
respectively. From Lewes, there is a mainline
train service to London Bridge/Victoria in about
1 hour, whilst there is a similar service from
Haywards Heath to London in about 47 minutes.

The house is approached via a long single track
lane with a turning into the driveway through
the five bar gate. The generous driveway cuts
through the well maintained front garden which
is laid to lawn and includes various mature and
well stocked borders and established trees. A
paved path leads across the garden to the very
impressive and characterful front door.
To the right of the driveway are outbuildings
including an old stable with two loose boxes, a
tack room and storage, and a separate barn and
store currently used for logs.
At the top of the drive is additional parking in
front of the double garage and double car port.
The gardens surround the house with the rear
section hosting an orchard, fruit cage and raised
beds and a greenhouse and composting area.
From the garden there is access via a gate to
adjoining 1.5 acre field which has direct access
to the road. Including the garden, the total plot
is approximately 2.55 acres.
