luxury houses with terrace for sale Uckfield, United Kingdom

What the owners say: “We bought the converted stables about 15 years ago as we fell in love with the position, the views and the fact it truly offers the best of both worlds — the peace and quiet of the countryside combined with easy access to towns, trains and good food. At that time it was literally a shell — the previous owners had stripped everything back — so we had the rare joy of a genuine blank canvas upon which to create our unique home. We took great pleasure in sourcing reclaimed and characterful materials to bring depth and individuality back into the building, while also incorporating all the essentials of modern living such as bespoke lighting, CAT-5 cabling and fast fibre-optic broadband. We also love that we are within walking distance of Crowborough station, the outstanding Beacon Academy, a great pub and Tesco — it is exceptionally rare to find a rural character property with such modern comforts and countryside peace that also allows you to walk to so many amenities.”   Crowborough, the largest and highest inland town in East Sussex, lies only a short drive away and is rich in history with attractive period buildings. It provides useful amenities including supermarkets such as Waitrose and Tesco, a number of independent shops, and a selection of cafés and pubs.

I fell in love with the property the minute I saw it advertised and immediately bought it six years ago. It has been the favourite of all my previous homes in a wonderful community. However, life moves on and I am confident that the new owners will get as much enjoyment out of it this wonderful house, the village and the community as I have. It has been a wonderful home for me and my children and the house and patios lends themselves to entertaining friends and family. The individual “zones” provide intimate spaces to relax or and socialise. Memories of the laughter-filled dinner parties, summer garden parties and barbeques, with the music from the piano in the drawing room drifting through the house, will live with me always. I love the quirkiness and history of the property but I have also valued that internally the house has everything you might need for modern day living. The only enhancement I have made was to further extend the drawing patio with steps to an upper level patio and garden. My commute to London for work is relatively quick and the train services from Wadhurst or Tunbridge Wells is reliable and efficient. Parents are spoilt for choice with the many outstanding private schools in and around East Sussex and Tunbridge Wells, which also include some high performing grammar schools. I love the quiet and peaceful environment at the heart of the medieval village of Mayfield. With its thriving independent shops in the high street, which is a place of gathering for the village to celebrate various events such as the annual Bonfire Society parade, an acclaimed international music festival, Spring fair, Passion Play enactment, that bring the community together socially. There is a plethora of attractive and varied medieval and other period properties, with the high street buttressed by the grandeur of the Bishops Palace first built in 1250 on permission from Pope Alexander IV, now the acclaimed Mayfield Convent School for Girl, as well as pubs and restaurants and the historic 13th century church, St Dunstans, Mayfield’s very own saint. It has a variety of sports and social clubs. The delightful shops including a superb deli, baker, butcher, florist, coffee shop, local convenience store and post office. The village is surrounded by vineyards with many producing world-class English sparkling wines, wine and spirits, some of which are available in the outstanding wine shop in the high street. You can get most essentials and many non-essential items in the village but there is also nearby Heathfield and Crowborough with their supermarkets while Tunbridge Wells is less than 10 miles away for more in depth retail therapy and and entertainment.”

If your dream home is a lovely oast house surrounded by stunning countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, then look no further than this gorgeous twin oast and barn conversion nestling in 1.19 acres of grounds and with no forward chain. This lovely residence was originally and sympathetically converted in the 1990s to a very high standard by the current owners including the installation of a heat pump, but it also retains many of its original features giving it such a unique character.

This visually gorgeous and architecturally stunning country home is totally unique, successfully combining that often sought after and rarely achieved blend of practical family home with attractive design and inspiring spaces. Upon entering via automatic five-bar gate, along a tree-lined driveway, itself a spur off a farm lane you are immediately struck by its beautiful, private setting. Lush green lawns, full country flower beds and a natural meadow frame the house and are themselves set in the bucolic local rolling landscape. A shaded silver birch copse close to the kitchen hosts a big family table reflecting a scene straight from the south of France and rewards the lucky revellers with far reaching views of some of the most delightful countryside in England. After lunch, you can stroll around to another side of the garden and reward yourself with a cooling dip in the pool or a relaxing sundowner. Back in the house, thick stone walls keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, in a space, which is one of the unique qualities of converted agricultural buildings, that is both cosy and traditional, yet at the same time vast and modern. The architectural heart of the home is an astonishing open plan double height, atrium topped living space replete with whitewashed gallery walls, exposed steel structures and engineered oak floors that would be quite at home in a Thameside warehouse apartment. A room so capacious that you could entertain a large number of guests for seasonal dinner gatherings or festive parties. A more classic living space and dining area links up the rest of the downstairs space including on one side the gorgeous walnut kitchen with its adjacent boot room and utility room, whilst on the other side, a professional grade air-conditioned 7 seat Dolby Vision/Atmos cinema room. As a nice example of the flexibility of the house which equates to over 6000 square feet, there is a downstairs air-conditioned bedroom with en-suite that would make a fine principal bedroom, or equally the perfect room for guests, elderly parents, au pair or teenager.  The upstairs space is equally flexible and stylish and could easily yield another bedroom, making 5 in total. The current use is as follows; a superb principal bedroom with luxurious en-suite bathroom and a dressing room with a long run of wardrobe space; another bedroom with en-suite; a home office with separate access from the living area; another huge office with en-suite also with its own independent access from the living space.  What the Owner Says We set out looking for what felt like the impossible: a stylish, creative home that could also function effortlessly for family life while offering the outdoor lifestyle we loved in places such as Tuscany and the South of France. We wanted privacy without isolation, space for classic cars, proper live-work accommodation for two creatives, and excellent access to London, Gatwick and Heathrow. Remarkably, this house delivers on every requirement. It continues to amaze us how perfectly it combines practicality, inspiration and lifestyle, and we hope its next owners feel the same. It is also a wonderful house for entertaining. The indoor and outdoor spaces offer countless options for gathering with family and friends, while guest bedrooms provide comfortable overnight accommodation. Summer days revolve around the pool and the large outdoor dining table, perfect for memorable family celebrations. In winter, those same gatherings can continue indoors, perhaps with a classic film enjoyed together in the cinema room.

This exceptional self-build opportunity is set in a very special location within its own mature gardens and grounds of approximately up to 6.628 acres and includes an important and impressive collection of mature Acers.

Directly opposite the house is a convenient cut-through leading into Warwick Park, making morning walks, dog walks and family outings effortless.

With sweeping views across the English Channel, this exceptional home marries Regency splendour with modern convenience.

The property also includes a glamorous three bedroom apartment on the lower ground floor, providing superb guest accommodation or the option to rent independently. Standing within the East Cliff conservation area, Bedford House has a rich and colourful history. The house was built around 1810 (potentially for the Duke of Bedford) and later became home to the painter Cecil D’Oyly John (a favourite of the Queen Mother), the playwright Sir Terence Rattigan and more recently the theatrical agent Roger Hancock. Many celebrity friends of these previous owners including Vivien Leigh, Margaret Leighton and Laurence Olivier were welcomed here. Rattigan’s previous ownership is commemorated by a Regency Society blue plaque. A detailed narrative of the rich history of this stunning sea-side home, meticulously compiled by the current owner is available on request. Upon arrival to the raised ground floor, great care has been taken to honour and preserve the character shaped by its influential occupants. The reclaimed sweeping staircase, installed in the 1960s by Sir Terence Rattigan to impress his famous guests with a dramatic entrance, remains the striking centrepiece. From here, the reception room opens through a grand archway, with natural light pouring through tall windows set above oak stained panelling. This enormous space is still made wonderfully inviting and cosy thanks to the clever mixture of, the Chesneys wood burning stove set within the white carrarra marble fireplace, the cast iron radiators all then complimented with Brinton Tartan carpet throughout.

Ornate plaster cast ceilings are enhanced with gilded accents, while a beautiful open marble fireplace sits beneath the elegant proportions. The luxurious Teak wooden flooring is complimented by the floor to ceiling windows which open onto a wrought iron balcony, creating a room that is both dramatic and serene. Much of the wood panelling was reclaimed from a 1720s country house by previous owners who transformed the property between 1967 and 1988. Their restoration included employing a gilder for a full month to decorate the plasterwork and sourcing the working marble fireplace from the ballroom of the Cadbury family’s London house. Adorning the walls are four paintings by the celebrated artist and former owner Cecil D’Oyly John (Sold subject to separate negotiation) Across the hallway, the tranquil study offers a quiet retreat and a fantastic space for calm and creativity. The bookcases which frame the original Georgian fireplace and cover the opposite wall were installed in Rattigan’s ownership, a room where he likely spent many hours in creative thought writing amongst other things his play “Man and Boy” which is currently playing at the National Theatre in London. A bust of Sir Terence Rattigan will remain in place, offering a fitting connection to the home’s remarkable past. The principal suite enjoys captivating views of the beach and sea, with luxury designer wallpaper by Timorous Beasties bringing a playful elegance to the space.
