Detached house for sale in Dewlands Hill, Rotherfield, East Sussex TN6

Major portion of a country house offering spacious and well proportioned accommodation in a peaceful and elevated position enjoying far reaching southerly views.

Dewlands Hall is the principal part of an impressive Edwardian country house built in the style of a Mediterranean Villa around 1900 for Lady Stansfield and was divided into three dwellings in the 1960s. The accommodation offers generous room sizes and good ceiling heights throughout which would be expected of a home from this era. The property’s elevated position offers uninterrupted views across the South Downs and its current custodians have called it home for over 30 years.
