Netherfield Hill, Battle, TN33

A substantial five-bedroom home on Netherfield Hill, offering generous and versatile living space, a vaulted kitchen, two log burners and a home office. Outside are established gardens with far-reaching views, a small apple orchard, wisteria-clad pergola, summer house, detached garage and large driveway.

The home opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with wooden flooring running through, while the layout leads through to a series of generous and versatile ground-floor rooms.

To the left is a family room overlooking the front of the property, with wooden flooring underfoot and direct access through to the kitchen. Further along the hall, a substantial reception and library room provides one of the home's standout spaces. A log burner sits within a brick fireplace with a timber mantel, while windows to two sides bring in plenty of natural light. Double doors open directly on to the rear garden, making this an easy room to use throughout the year.

Positioned towards the rear is a cloakroom, finished with a tiled floor, partially tiled walls, a white basin set into a useful storage unit and a WC. Alongside this, a separate door provides direct access to the rear courtyard.

The ground floor continues with a dedicated home office, where the wooden flooring carries through and double doors open on to the garden – a particularly useful arrangement for anyone working regularly from home.

Next is a well-planned utility room with tiled flooring, a large white ceramic sink with a chrome tap, quartz worktop and space for a washing machine. A double-door heated airing cupboard adds further practicality, while a door gives another direct route into the garden. Opposite, a double-doored cupboard provides additional everyday storage.

The dining room is another generously proportioned space, with a vaulted ceiling and wooden flooring continuing through. Two roof-lights bring additional daylight from above, while double doors connect directly with the kitchen. A separate door opens outside, creating an easy flow between the principal entertaining spaces and garden.

At the heart of the ground floor is the kitchen. A vaulted ceiling and roof-lights combine with windows on three sides to create an exceptionally light room, while the continuation of the wooden flooring gives it a natural connection with the surrounding spaces. Shaker-style wall and base cabinetry incorporates glazed fronts, complemented by quartz worktops and an inset one-and-a-half-bowl sink with chrome tap.

Space for a range cooker with five-burner hob forms a focal point, alongside an integrated microwave oven and warming cabinet, an American-style fridge freezer with storage above, and a walk-in pantry. At the opposite end of the room, a log-burning stove is set into a brick fireplace beneath a slate mantelpiece, adding warmth and character to what is clearly a kitchen designed for far more than cooking. A further door opens to the front of the house.

Outside the kitchen is a secluded paved courtyard that catches the afternoon and evening sun.

Upstairs, the staircase arrives at a carpeted landing serving five bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The main bedroom occupies the front of the house and is a particularly generous double, finished with oak flooring and fitted wardrobes extending across two walls. Its en-suite is equally well proportioned, with a large walk-in shower, white pedestal basin and WC, together with tiled and partially tiled finishes.

To the rear is a further bedroom with wooden flooring, fitted wardrobes and views across the back garden. Alongside is the family bathroom, finished with tiled flooring and partially tiled walls, a chrome heated towel rail, white pedestal basin and WC, together with a bath and chrome shower above.

Another double bedroom overlooks the rear garden and continues the oak flooring found throughout much of the first floor.

Two further double bedrooms sit at the front of the house. Both have oak flooring, built-in storage cupboards and front-facing views, completing a versatile five-bedroom arrangement with plenty of scope for family, guests or additional working space.

Outside, the property is approached over a large block-paved driveway bordered by established planting, with steps leading up towards the house and iron railings running along the front.

The detached timber-clad garage has a tiled roof, light and power, together with a substantial area above, reached by an outside staircase from the upper level, providing excellent storage and potential workshop space. The lower section can be accessed independently, as well as via the electrically operated up-and-over garage door to the front.

The rear garden makes the most of its elevated position and outlook. A courtyard immediately behind the house provides space for outdoor dining, bordered by raised beds before steps lead up to the main lawn. Mature planted borders give the garden an established feel, while the elevated areas take in far-reaching views beyond.

Within the garden is a small apple orchard, adding another attractive feature, together with a wisteria-clad pergola creating a lovely focal point within the established planting.

At the top of the garden are a summer house, separate shed and a number of wooden compost bays, providing useful additional space away from the main house. Side access connects the front and rear, completing an outside space that combines entertaining areas, lawn, established planting, useful storage and those impressive open views.
