A truly rare opportunity to become part of the historic Burrswood Estate. Occupying a private gated south-facing plot of just under a third of an acre and enjoying far reaching views across Ashdown Forest, Buckhurst House is a superb four-bedroom detached family home offering over 1,700 sq ft of accommodation in one of the High Weald's most exceptional and picturesque settings.

Set within the breathtaking High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Buckhurst House occupies an enviable position within the historic Burrswood Estate, a remarkable private country estate extending to over 100 acres on the edge of the highly regarded village of Groombridge.

Approached via one of two private driveways serving the Burrswood Estate, the sense of arrival is truly special. Passing the historic gatehouse, tranquil fishing lakes and the magnificent Grade II listed Manor House, the approach hints at the rich history and natural beauty that await. Occupying an elevated position within its own mature grounds, Buckhurst House presents a unique opportunity to acquire a home of real character in one of the area's most enchanting and unspoilt locations.

Constructed with an attractive natural stone exterior, the property offers light and airy accommodation arranged over two floors. The current owners have sympathetically improved the house and gardens, creating a comfortable and welcoming home that blends character with practicality.

The accommodation comprises an inviting and spacious entrance hall with beautifully restored parquet wood flooring, which extends seamlessly into the impressive sitting room and dining room. Benefiting from a southerly aspect, these reception areas are wonderfully bright and welcoming, enjoying views over the beautiful wrap around gardens and creating an ideal setting for both everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen leads through to a large utility room, whilst a conveniently positioned cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

Whilst the property is ready to enjoy immediately, the kitchen and utility spaces offer exciting scope for a purchaser to reconfigure and enlarge the space to create a stunning open plan kitchen, dining and family room. Subject to the necessary consents, there is also potential to extend the property, including the possibility of a two-storey addition, allowing future owners to adapt and enhance this already impressive home to suit their own lifestyle.

To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, all served by a recently renovated family bathroom finished to a high standard and complementing the improvements already made by the current owners. The three principal bedrooms benefit from recently installed Bosch air conditioning, a thoughtful addition that provides enhanced comfort throughout the seasons.

The Burrswood Estate itself is steeped in history. Originally commissioned in around 1839 by Alderman David Salomans and later owned by Dorothy Kerin as a centre for spiritual and physical healing, the estate has evolved over the centuries whilst retaining its remarkable character and sense of tranquility. Today it offers a unique and secluded community, surrounded by formal gardens, lakes, woodland and open countryside.

Formerly known as Garden View, Buckhurst House is enveloped by mature gardens and enjoys an idyllic semi-rural setting. Established planting and sweeping lawns provide privacy and a beautiful connection to the surrounding landscape, whilst the elevated south-facing position ensures glorious rural views can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.

The gardens and surrounding estate are a haven for wildlife, where birdsong, woodland walks and the changing colours of the countryside create a peaceful backdrop to everyday life. It is a setting that feels wonderfully secluded, yet remains within easy reach of excellent schools, local amenities and transport links.

Complementing the house are two substantial garages together with a useful store outbuilding, offering excellent storage, workshop space or potential for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents. Together with the generous gardens and exceptional setting, they further enhance the sense of space and opportunity that this special home affords.

Properties such as Buckhurst House rarely come to the market. Combining history, privacy, abundant wildlife and breathtaking scenery, this is a unique opportunity to embrace country living at its very best.

ONLINE AUCTION NOTICE

I hereby acknowledge and confirm the following:

My bid may be accepted by the seller at any time before the close of the auction. It is subject to the terms and conditions of the auction which I have read and understood. I have read and understood the legal pack applicable to my bid/lot and agree to be bound by any special conditions within that pack.

If my bid is successful (whether as the highest bid or upon acceptance by the seller in the course of the auction) I shall be bound by the lot terms and conditions as advertised online.

Any amount payable at the close of the auction must be paid within 1 hour.

Please note that the bidding process will work in a different way to an eBay auction, so there is NO advantage to bidding at the last second.

Each auction will automatically stay open until there has not been a bid within the final 10 minutes. If no bid has been submitted within the final 10 minutes of the auction, the auction will close and the highest bidder will be successful subject to the reserve price being met or upon acceptance of an offer by the seller throughout the auction cycle. If there is another bid within 10 minutes of the last bid, the auction countdown timer will be restarted for another 10 minutes to allow further bidding. This system avoids last-minute (or second) bidding and makes for a fairer auction as in a live-room auction situation.

Please bid in good time before the end of the auction, delaying your bid to the last seconds may disadvantage you if your connection slows or you lose internet connectivity.

The auctioneer is not responsible for any tech issues, power outage or error messages which hampers or eliminates an individual's opportunity to bid.

It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure the bid has been lodged with the auctioneer. It is therefore beneficial to bid on your chosen lot at your earliest opportunity.

The auctioneer accepts no responsibility for bids that are not received or are received late and reserves the right to reject any bid without notice.
