Look inside this stunning £2.65m home in Blackham, East Sussex

The six-bedroom house in Blackham, not far from the Ashdown Forest on the East Sussex border with Kent, is set within stunning countryside and comes with 2.35 acre gardens and grounds, an orchard, meadow and separate Coach house.

The property, named Thurlstone, also has its own pool, a gym and a games room, and is on the market for £2,650,000.

Refurbished in 2019, the house has been designed to maximise space and natural light in all rooms, with a focus on eco friendliness and low maintenance costs.

Although it appears to be completely new due to the timber exterior, parts of the original building remain.

Powered by solar power energy, the house has underfloor heating and mechanical ventilation which circulates fresh air throughout the home, as well as LED low energy lighting in all rooms and rain water harvests.

The property is well insulated to keep costs down and the swimming pool is heated by an air source heat pump.

The house is full of unique design features, such as its floating oak staircase, the vaulted ceilings in the bedrooms and a balcony to the master bedroom.

On the ground floor, a huge open-plan living space also incorporates the kitchen and dining areas, with bright views out onto the terrace and gardens beyond.

Upstairs there is a large landing and five spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms - three of which are en suite bathrooms.

There is plenty of storage space, not only in two attic rooms but also in the separate Coach House where you will find the garage, a gym and a games room on the ground floor.

Upstairs there is a self-contained annexe with a bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen and living area.

Outside, a terrace leads from the house to a formal lawn area and a path to an orchard, a wild meadow and woodlands, providing plenty of space to play.

There is also a pool house and composting area.
