Old Court is a spacious period family property with an abundance of original features including exposed beams and sash and leaded windows. The brick-built home is partially peg-tiled with black and white Tudor timber beams, and whilst a programme of updating would see the interiors reflecting the requirements of modern lifestyles, the property offers immense potential to create an idyllic home.

Access via the reception hall with its inglenook fireplace and terracotta tiled flooring leads to the bright and substantial drawing room, with its wide window seat, heavy ceiling beams and stone fireplace surround. The adjoining formal dining room also has a beamed ceiling, a brickbuilt fireplace and sunny dual aspects, as well as a thick original wooden door. A dedicated study with integrated desk and cabinet offers a peaceful solution for home workers, with a
cloakroom alongside.

The considerable kitchen features a range of traditional cabinetry and a navy AGA, as well as ample space for informal mealtimes, a larder and a large boiler room leading to the porch and external access. The first floor offers five very well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a large dual aspect principal room with fitted furniture and two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. A further family bathroom with separate walk-in shower and w/c alongside completes the accommodation.

Old Court sits in the peaceful rural village of Cowbeech with its traditional village public house, whilst also enjoying convenient access to the old market town of Hailsham, with its wide range of day-to-day amenities including supermarkets, shops, public houses, eateries, schools, a leisure centre, doctor’s surgery and country parks. The nearby town of Polegate offers an even more extensive range of facilities, as well as a mainline train station offering frequent services to London Victoria in around 81 minutes, and links to Brighton and Ashford International. Road connections to the scenic south coast include thriving Eastbourne and bustling Brighton, as well as having easy access to the motorway network and Gatwick Airport via the M23 (Junction 10). Several well regarded schooling options can be found in the surrounding areas, including Bede’s School and Burfield Academy.

Parking at the property is plentiful - an expansive driveway with a circular central grassed area and decorative stone centrepiece leads around the home and to the detached brick-built double garage. The home has a considerable and tranquil rural plot surrounded by mature trees and farmland, with large
sections of level lawn wrapping around and established shrubbery adorning the façade. There is also an adaptable workshop/studio within the plot which could serve a number of potential uses, as well as a small lake and wooded area.
