Property Details
Beautifully renovated Edwardian country house
Idyllic semi-rural location in the High Weald
Magnificent southerly rolling countryside views
Nestled in 15 acres of private secluded grounds
Tucked away in a quiet, private setting with magnificent views over the High Weald, Peans Wood dates from 1904 and retains a wonderful sense of its origins, with parquet floors, oak panelling and characterful fireplaces throughout. More recently, the house has been thoughtfully refurbished and extended, elevating it into something rather special, with a beautifully crafted bespoke kitchen and a dedicated wellness space including a home gym, yoga studio and sauna.
The ground floor flows effortlessly, with a series of elegant, well balanced reception rooms including a drawing room with bay opening onto the garden, a richly panelled dining room with an impressive carved stone fireplace, along with a large study. At its heart; the 42ft by 42ft L-shaped kitchen, breakfast and family room is both functional and refined, centred around a substantial island, an impressive Lacanche Belmont range cooker and finished with integrated appliances. The downstairs is further complemented by a large fitted utility room, WC and access to the adjoining self contained two bedroom annexe with its own kitchen breakfast room, sitting room and shower room.
Upstairs, the principal suite enjoys far reaching south facing views, with a dressing room and generous bathroom. There are three further bedroom suites on the first floor, and two additional bedrooms. The second floor provides two more bedrooms, a family bathroom and a large games room, along with access to a substantial attic.
The grounds are a defining feature, extending to just over 15 acres of formal lawns, woodland, established planting and raised vegetable garden, all with a lovely southerly aspect. A heated swimming pool sits within a sheltered setting with rolling countryside views. There are a range of outbuildings as well as a paddock suitable for equestrian use.
Further amenities include a double garage with adjacent single garage/tool store, beneath a large home office space. The house is approached through electronic wrought iron gates, along a sweeping tree lined drive with mature rhododendrons, setting the tone from the outset.
The property benefits from being unlisted and has outline planning permission for a new pool house and tennis court.
