Seller Insight Bought two and a half years ago as a renovation project, this readyto-move-in-to property has been extended beyond its original 1920s brick-build and finished to a high standard to provide excellent modern accommodation. Located on the south side of small East Sussex village Ninfield, the property lies four miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea and the same distance south-west of historic Battle. The current owner, who has lovingly restored ‘Eyton’, has worked hard to provide a quality blank canvas for someone to move in and stamp their own mark on the place. ‘The period charm of the original building and the new extension work together in perfect harmony and make a home with great character, lots of light and plenty of space. The kitchen is vast and was designed to accommodate a large farmhouse table and sizable gatherings. The property, which is on the edge of the village, is surrounded by delightful countryside, with views at the rear being particularly beautiful – in spring Bluebells spill out of the woods into the field at the foot of the garden making it feel very idyllic,’ says the owner. Ninfield is well-served with a primary school, post office, shop, two churches and two exceptionally good near by gastro pubs. The surrounding area offers an excellent choice of private and state schools for all ages.There are good rail links to London’s Charing Cross from nearby Battle, an upmarket town offering a wealth of independent shops and good places to eat out. ‘It’s a very attractive building which has been renovated, extended and decorated to a high-standard. It’s a wonderfully spacious house with an impressively large kitchen/diner and a generous utility room ideal for country pursuits. There is a gravel drive, car port, room to park several cars, ready-to-plant flower beds, lawns and al fresco eating areas - one gravel patio boasts a fire pit-with wonderful views to the back.’ ‘My favourite room has to be the vast kitchen as it has a real wow factor – there’s plenty of space to entertain large numbers of friends and family and the triple bi-fold doors make easy work of indoor to outdoor living.’ ‘I love looking out from the kitchen onto the herb garden and the open country beyond – the rustic post and rail fence made out of chestnut ensures the view is largely uninterrupted. The edge of village location is very peaceful with the overall area being wonderful for an outdoor lifestyle – there’s great local provision for equestrians.’ ‘The quality of lifestyle that can be lived here; good climate, easy access to many natural beauty spots, the coast and good local amenities.This is a wonderful house just waiting to be loved and made into a home.’* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
