6 Bed in Herons Ghyll (oc-t44940)

Featuring generous reception rooms, six stylish bedrooms and beautiful grounds, this stunning manor house lies in a wonderful spot in the heart of the East Sussex countryside, providing an unforgettable backdrop for a family get-together or group retreat. The property lies in an idyllic spot in the High Weald National Landscape, just on the outskirts of Crowborough (3 miles), with miles of tranquil walks from the doorstep. The historic market town of Uckfield is to the south (5 miles) with an array of boutique shops, friendly cafes, traditional pubs and fantastic restaurants. To the north, Ashdown Forest (400 metres) is the inspiration for Winnie-the-Pooh’s Hundred Acre Wood. Other local landmarks and attractions include Standen House and Garden, Sheffield Park and Garden, and the High Rocks National Monument, all within 12 miles. For a day by the coast, Brighton and Eastbourne are both within 25 miles.

A stunning venue for rural escapes, family celebrations, corporate retreats and special occasions, the property is surrounded by glorious scenery for you to admire before heading inside. To one side, the elegantly arranged kitchen is the heart of the retreat, with breathtaking views, ample equipment, a sociable central island and a handy additional dining table perfect for breakfasts and light meals. Heading through this characterful hideaway, which is adorned throughout with thoughtfully chosen artworks, the formal dining room is an ideal space for everyone to gather for a memorable special occasion. When it’s time to sit back and relax, the spacious lounge features an eye-catching inglenook fireplace with a welcoming wood burner, sumptuous seating and a TV, as well as further French doors to the patio. Exploring further, there’s a bright and tastefully presented ground-floor bedroom suite which can be made up as a king-size or a twin, and features a stylish en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath as well as French doors to the garden. The ground floor also houses a practical utility room and a separate WC. Heading upstairs to the first floor, you will find the five remaining bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms feature lovely zip-and-link king-size beds, which can be made up as twin rooms on request. These two bedrooms each have refreshing en-suite facilities: one with a relaxing bathroom and the other with a soothing shower room. There’s also a charming double bedroom with a delightful en-suite bathroom, and finally a cosy double bedroom and a snug twin which share the main family bathroom. Please note that the upper floor has some charming character features and varying ceiling heights.

French doors from several ground-floor rooms lead directly out onto the patio and the generous gardens. With plenty of outdoor furniture, the grounds are perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or al fresco meal as you take in the magnificent country views. Beyond the gardens, open fields stretch into the distance, offering chances to spot local wildlife including deer. Ample private parking is available.
