luxury houses 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.”

The first thing that strikes you as you send your way down the driveway past the house is the glorious position in which it sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Surrounded by its gardens and paddocks the house enjoys the most delightful views over the valley and up towards the gorgeous hilltop village of Mayfield.   Stepping into the house itself you are greeted by a generous reception hall replete with a large brick fireplace (now fitted with a wood burning stove which has a back-boiler, which heats the hot water and the radiator on the landing on the first floor) with an oak Bressummer above and true to its country heritage an ancient rifle (not included).   The kitchen/breakfast room is the cosy heart of the home with its country style units, classic red Rangemaster, traditional white painted beams and unusual Venetian window. The kitchen has a built-in fridge and separate built-in freezer, and a built-in dishwasher. The front window offers a calming view out past a glorious old sycamore tree and beyond to the paddocks. The French Doors at the rear lead out onto the formal gardens and enjoy from your breakfast table the most delightful and far-reaching views. Step out onto the patio to enjoy the same view al fresco whilst remaining shaded by the charming, tiled roof.   The living room is a more modern addition beautifully in keeping with the style and character of the original farmhouse, retaining all its charm. There is an inglenook-style fireplace with an Aga stove and exposed timbers, and the room benefits from superb natural light from its triple aspect windows, including French Doors opening on to the patio and garden and the fabulous views.   A dining room, study, utility room and cloakroom complete the downstairs space and add plenty of flexibility whether you need two home offices, a playroom/den or separate entertaining space.   Upstairs you are blessed with a principal bedroom with a large en-suite bathroom; a modern must have that is often lacking in period farmhouses. This bright light room with its vaulted ceiling and triple aspect is a beautiful space to retire to at the end of the day. Three further double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, and a good size family bathroom makes room for friends and family alike.   That mixture of practicality and charm continues outside with a generous driveway and triple garage with a large storage room over. The brick potting shed (with gardeners’ toilet) and wood store are charming and the wooden Summerhouse on the upper terrace makes the best of the views.   The gardens are truly delightful; well planted around a central lawn with beautiful space in trees to create all year-round interest and summer shade, and there is a charming vegetable area down by the potting shed. The paddocks are easily accessed from the driveway as is the four bay pole barn. The whole is deemed ideal for equestrian use and measuring 3.155 acres in total. What the owner says;  This has been such a beautiful location to live in surrounded by gorgeous rolling countryside and enjoying the delightful gardens and open fields. The views up towards Mayfield are incredible and make living here very special. I have loved creating an idyllic garden with the inspiration of the National trust’s Batemans ( the family home of Rudyard Kipling) just up the road. There iis plenty odf space for a weel stocked vegetable garden and the various outbuildings are incredibly useful. Heathfield Town is just up the road and caters for all your every day needs. Popping up to Royal Tunbridge Wells or down to the coast to visit Hastings, Brighton or Rye, or simply popping out to any number of pretty villages with local pubs and restaurants or up to London on the train gives you so much choice. Whatever you plan to do returning home to such a delightful, peaceful and calming environment is a true blessing

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. However, it could be developed further as there is enormous scope to increase the residential accommodation by going into the attic for potential loft conversion subject to building regulations.

For anyone with equestrian interests there is a wild meadow that could accommodate horses and it also includes a large barn that could be converted to stables or it would also make an excellent workshop/studio or office complex for anyone working from home who needs a quiet and peaceful working environment.   What the owners say: As soon as we saw the house we fell in love with the spacious rooms, the warm and friendly atmosphere and the grounds as well as the far-reaching views. While we are surrounded by more than 12 acres of grounds and woodland we are not far from the main road for very easy access to Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead, but we hardly notice any noise and when we are in the garden and the swimming pool, we just enjoy the sound of the birds and the sight of the deer wandering through the grounds.

What the owners say: We love this beautiful house as it is in such a special location so close to the station, the Pantiles and excellent local schools including the popular Claremont primary which can be seen from the house and is the only location that is ‘definitely’ in the catchment area. It is also quiet and peaceful with no road noise, it being situated on the bend of Poona Road, away from main arterial routes and, because it is a private road, it is very secure for both children and pets. The verge outside the house is partially owned by the property and represents a fun gathering place for the road’s community to gather and have a bonfire of for the children to play safely. We have designed the interior to be luxurious and individual but still practical including the underfloor heating system that can be controlled from your phone and thermostatically control each room independently. Even the two Velux windows in the kitchen can be controlled from your phone and include rain sensors so they automatically shut. As the house was originally built in 1837 we felt strongly that it should be restored to its former glory and have paid attention to every single detail with no expense spared. As a result it has been given the highest accolade by the town’s ‘Civic Society,’ which looks out for excellence in development and conversion and was awarded by the Mayor. This house has been a wonderful place to live with a real community feel but also being detached with its own off road parking area has also been a godsend, giving us the best of both worlds. We have poured our heart and soul into every part of the design and, while we have loved living here, it’s now ready for someone new to enjoy it and the close-knit local community where we have made many friends. Tunbridge Wells or, more formally Royal Tunbridge Wells, became a famous spa town in Regency times when it was frequented by the aristocracy who came to take the waters and enjoy the entertainment organised by Beau Nash. Much of this historic town was developed during that time including the famous Pantiles that now offers a delightful mix of independent shops, bars and restaurants, including the number one rated ‘Boutique’ in the UK, while the rest of the town also includes high street stores, a variety of excellent eateries, individual shops, hair and beauty salons and a number of luxury and boutique hotels as well as retail parks and a station with trains that will get you to London within an hour. With regard to education there are a number of primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted including St Peters’ C of E primary and the Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, the St Gregory’s Catholic School and Tunbridge Wells Girls Grammar School. You will also find excellent private schools in the area including Rosehill, The Mead, Holmewood House and Beechwood prep and secondary school as well as the famous Tonbridge School founded in 1553. Additional entertainment facilities include a nine-screen Odeon cinema, the Trinity theatre, the wellrespected Assembly Theatre and exhibitions in the Amelia Scott cultural centre. For sports enthusiasts there are a variety of sports facilities available including the Neville golf club, cricket, football and rugby clubs as well as the indoor sports and a swimming pool while the tennis club is one of the oldest in the country with 21 courts including 8 grass courts. Sprint and summer brings plenty of festivals for adults and children alike. One not to be missed is the ‘Jazz on the Pantiles’ where people can enjoy al fresco dining while listening to some of the best live music in the Southeast while eating a range of wonderful food at the same time.

Sellers' Insight: The best thing about living here is the privacy, peace and quiet. We have always felt that this house has a lovely atmosphere, and it is hard to believe that we are actually living on one of the main routes into Brighton, but because we have such a long drive, are tucked away behind our neighbours and at the end of all our neighbours? gardens we hear little more than birdsong. We also have very little light pollution considering the location. We have a variety of wildlife including badgers, foxes, bats and abundant birdlife including the occasional pheasant! Withdean woods are close by as well as Withdean stadium and sports complex. Having lived here for almost 18 years, it has been the perfect home for entertaining. The back garden is a sun trap, and the external fireplace means that the outdoors can be enjoyed at any time of year. It is a really sociable house, given the open plan layout and the high ceilings and amount of light coming in that we have created. This is also the perfect lock up and leave as it is very secure with an alarm system and cctv that you can monitor when you are away and the garden is really low maintenance, and once you do return home, once those electric gates close, it is a very private and peaceful haven. Within 5 minutes you can be on the South Downs, on the A23 heading towards Gatwick or London, or indeed halfway into Brighton.
