Churches Green, Dallington, Heathfield, East Sussex, TN21

Little Bucksteep Granary was recently converted by the vendor to provide a four en-suite bedroom home finished to a high quality specification. The Neptune kitchen has been expertly designed with a pantry to the side, while also providing separate areas for cooking and dining, and a seating area with wood burning stove and large windows. There is an orangery which provides an additional reception room. All the bedrooms are of a good size with the principal bedroom giving exceptional views.

Little Bucksteeep lies in an enviable position over looking its own land towards the South Downs. It is situated down a no through track and hidden in a tranquil rural position just south west of the historic and unspoilt village of Dallington.

Rushlake Green is one of the most sought after villages in East Sussex, and provides a village shop, post office and the highly regarded Horse & Groom public house. The Swan public house at Dallington is also very close by.

There is an excellent sellection of schools in the area including a primary school at Dallington, St Leonards at Mayfield, Vine Hall, Marlborough House, St Andrews, Eastbourne College, St Bedes and The Dicker.

There is a double bay garage adjacent to the house. Above the garage is a spacious room suitable for games, home office or other uses.

The gardens immediately surrounding the house are modest, providing a new owner with scope to fulfil their own requirements. The land drops away from the house giving a wonderful vista over pasture and woodland towards the South Downs.

The land comprises a combination of fenced paddocks which are sheltered by belts of trees and well managed mixed mature woodland. It is served by a network of well drained tracks winding among openings and glades which have been planted up with wild flowers, creating remarkable biodiversity and a haven for an abundance of species of wildlife. Roe and Fallow deer are regular visitors and the ponds are well stocked with Carp.

The land is farmed in hand and for the last 10 years' organically. The pasture is well draining and fenced and all fields have water troughs.

The woodland is a splendid combination of mature broadleaved and evergreen species. Superb mature Beech trees, Douglas firs planted after the storms of 1987, and Sweet Chestnut which is currently being harvested to provide post and rail fencing. There is an extensive catchment of water with a small river called Christian's River running through the property, having originated at a local monastery at Rushlake Green. There is also a Hammer pond created in the 15th Century and typical of this Wealden area.
