Brightling Road, Robertsbridge, East Sussex

The first impression on arriving at this magnificent property is its beautiful 9.7 acre setting. Electronically operated gates open onto a long sweeping driveway, passing paddocks on one side and light woodland available under separate negotiation on the other, leading to a large parking and turning area and a triple garage with annex above.

For those with equestrian interests, the drive continues to a well appointed stable block, tractor store, workshop and gym/studio. From here, a 4x4 utility buggy (available by negotiation) provides easy access to the paddocks.

The main house is entered via a spacious entrance hall with a grand staircase and a tucked away office, leading through to a superb kitchen/breakfast room forming part of a sympathetic extension. This room benefits from excellent natural light via a large, glazed lantern and offers seamless access to the garden through French doors. A separate utility room, downstairs cloakroom and shower room add practicality, while a charming drawing room provides a flexible secondary reception space.

The principal living area is particularly striking, combining the original living room, with its stylish fireplace, and a stunning orangery to create one generous, light filled space. Multiple windows, French doors and a substantial roof lantern ensure excellent natural light throughout.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite mirrors the generous proportions of the living space, offering a large bedroom, fitted dressing room, en suite shower room and views across the lawn and paddocks beyond. Four further bedrooms, a box room and two additional bathrooms provide ample accommodation for family and guests. A large second floor room offers further flexibility as a bedroom, playroom or office.

What the Owner says:

The owners note that privacy, equestrian facilities and quality of life were key factors in choosing this property. The gently sloping paddocks, secure fencing, stabling and outbuildings comfortably accommodate multiple ponies.

Over 20 acres of adjoining woodland are available under separate negotiation.

Excellent local schooling, including Marlborough House Vinehall, has been a significant benefit, along with convenient access to London, Gatwick and Heathrow, the coast and continental links.

Above all, the gardens and grounds provide a remarkable family lifestyle, from formal gardens and paddocks to a summer house, pond all rich in wildlife.
