6 bed detached house for sale

Church Road, Herstmonceux BN27

A rare opportunity to own a beautiful luxury property with self sufficiency and off grid capability at the heart of its design.

Situated centrally on its own generous plot in a highly favourable position, this extensively renovated and developed home delivers a rare combination of luxury living and the high off grid potential, including sustainable features.

An exceptionally convenient yet peaceful location. Within a 10-minute walk from the popular village of Herstmonceux (with its pubs, restaurants and amenities) and just 100 yards from an award winning popular vineyard, the location is on a 'no through road' ending with views of the Pevensey levels and the Herstmonceux castle and observatory.
The renovations have included a significant increase in the energy efficiency. The property generates its own wood fuel from a small, manicured woodland to heat both the home and the swimming pool. It also benefits from a comprehensive solar panel and battery system that produces over 30kW a day in summer months and covers the vast majority of energy needs. This is further enhanced by a mix of newly installed triple and double glazing throughout. The property still benefits from the creature comforts of underfloor heating and wood burning stoves.
The grounds are a true haven for self-sufficient living and relaxation. A productive small orchard provides cherries, apples, plums, pears and figs, supported by a herb garden, poly tunnel, and additional food-growing areas. The paddock offers scope for keeping animals as it has done in the past. The beautifully landscaped gardens surround the house with stunning outdoor space. Perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
