Semi-detached house for sale in Tidebrook, Wadhurst, East Sussex TN5

This impressive period property enjoys far-reaching views over the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a perfect example of a classic Victorian family residence, dating back to 1886, and was the main house on the original Riseden Estate. It was divided approximately 60 years ago and is attached front to back with Riseden and benefits from its own driveway and private grounds.

The current owners have completely refurbished and improved the property to a very high standard. It is immaculately presented and incorporates the very best fixtures and appliances including Bulthaup kitchen, Gaggenau appliances, a Sonos sound system in entertaining areas of the house and on the second floor, and beautiful wooden floors in the reception rooms.

The house also retains many period features including high ceilings, impressive sash windows and French doors leading out to a terrace on the ground floor and a roof terrace on the second floor.

Outside, the property is approached via an electronically operated gated entrance over a gravel driveway leading to the parking area and garage.

The immaculately kept gardens have been completely re-landscaped and are a particular feature. They have been divided into different sections and include lawned areas, well-stocked flower borders and mature hedging.
