Description

Situated in the scenic Burwash Weald, this charming detached 1930s country home offers a perfect blend of character and comfort. With four reception rooms, three double bedrooms, and two family bathrooms across 1,898 sq ft, this property is inviting and spacious.

Built around 1932 in an arts and crafts style, this home features solid oak woodwork that adds warmth to its living spaces, reflecting a combination of thoughtful craftsmanship and historical significance.

Recently refurbished, the ground floor wet room provides modern convenience while maintaining the home’s classic design elements.

Outside: Marling is comfortably set back from the road, approached via a private driveway, with parking for numerous vehicles in addition to the detached garage.
Marling enjoys a size able plot, which is comprised of a formal garden that wraps around the house, with a raised paved terrace, that can be accessed directly from the sun room, the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining whilst taking in the expansive views.

The house then further benefits from the ownership of a sizeable portion of the field at the rear, together with the neighbouring property (who own the remaining portion). This land is not formally divided and currently kept as an open space and wild flower meadow for optimum enjoyment.
