AGENTS NOTE
Description Chateaubriand is a Grade II* Listed building and ranks amongst the most important historical vernacular buildings in Kent and Sussex. The property is heavily timbered yet with generous ceiling heights overall, formally the old Courthouse built for the Pelham family which held the Manor of Burwash which was their principal town and acted as official residence to the posts of both the Receiver general and Bailiff of the Rape of Hastings. Evidence suggests Chateaubriand was built to appear relatively high class for the officers to maintain a position of respect within the community. The property has been sympathetically renovated and restored retaining many characteristic features of the period and benefits further from a substantial roof terrace to the rear with far reaching rooftop views over undulating countryside and a substantial rear garden, a haven for wildlife.
Situation In this much favoured locality known for its wide High Street with unspoiled atmosphere with many period houses of Georgian and earlier period. There is a good range of local shops including post office, fine old church and three period Inns and nearby by Batemans, the former home of Rudyard Kipling and Etchingham and Stonegate stations with regular services to London on the Charing Cross line. Heathfield (approximately 6 miles) offers a more comprehensive range of shops and facilities, together with Tunbridge Wells and the coast at Hastings, both of which are approximately 15 miles distant.
