Easons Farmhouse

With origins believed to date the early 17th century, Easons Farmhouse has an attractive facade of red-brick and tile-hung elevations, including a decorative stone cartouche, and inside offers period charm perfectly blended with modern interior styling. With exposed beams and brickwork, the sitting room has timber flooring and glazed French doors to a garden terrace and showcases a splendid inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove. There is an open access through to a dining room which in turn leads to the beautifully presented double aspect kitchen/breakfast room. This light-filled room is centred around a red aga, in a brick surround, with red-tiled splashback and is fitted with contemporary cabinetry, stone work tops and upstands, and a Belfast sink. Ancillary space is offered by a generous utility room and store. On the first floor, the bedrooms enjoy elevated vistas over the grounds and surrounding countryside, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a well-appointed en suite bathroom. There is a smart shower room and four further bedrooms, with one of the rooms being situated on the floor above. Supplemental accommodation is provided by outbuildings which comprise a brick and timber barn with a wall of glazing offering a sunny reception area and a shower.

A brick-paved pathway takes a gentle, meandering route through a grassed area, interspersed with mature shrubs, fruit and specimen trees, passing a natural pond with bullrushes and a willow tree alongside to reach the front entrance porch. The grounds offer joyous exploration and play areas for children, with the lawns extending around the farmhouse to boundaries of rustic post-and-rail fencing and native hedging and trees. A pretty summer house with decked surround offers a spot to relax in dappled shade with a glorious outlook over the landscape and a paved terrace adjoins the house providing opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation. A gravelled terrace area outside the barn and shepherds hut offers a further setting to enjoy the outside. A second Shepherds Hut features, with power and stove.

Surrounded by the East Sussex countryside, the property enjoys a picturesque setting, offering a haven for nature and walking enthusiasts. The town of Uckfield offers a comprehensive range of shopping and leisure facilities including bars and restaurants, a cinema, supermarkets and a leisure centre, as well as a railway station with services to London.
