A Designer Home with Heritage Soul

1912 Arts & Crafts residence, reimagined for luxurious modern living

Tucked behind a gated entrance in a peaceful rural setting, this extraordinary 1912 Arts and Crafts home masterfully blends period elegance with sophisticated contemporary design. Thoughtfully reimagined by its current owners, every element of this residence has been curated with style, comfort, and enduring quality in mind.

From the moment you step into the square entrance hall, with its warm wooden floors and timeless proportions, you sense the craftsmanship and care woven into every detail. The home unfolds with a graceful flow: rooms full of light, air, and refined character.

Contemporary Living in Character Surroundings

At the heart of the home lies the bespoke, handmade kitchen, designed by Norfolk artisan Brian Turner. A haven for keen cooks and entertainers alike, it features soft grey cabinetry, sleek white worktops, a substantial central island with bar seating, and high-spec appliances including a Falcon range and built-in wine cooler. Bifold doors open seamlessly onto a multi-level outdoor entertaining area, catching the best of the northwest light with golden evening sun washing across the decking.

Adjacent is a stylish boot room/utility space – both practical and elegant – leading directly to the front of the property. Stone flooring and wet underfloor heating make daily life as comfortable as it is beautiful, with independently zoned heating throughout the kitchen and office.

The living and dining rooms (currently set as a games space) are rich with warmth and charm. Polished wooden floors and two striking stone fireplaces, each housing a log burner, anchor the generous proportions of these spaces which interconnect through large arched wooden doors. Double doors in each room invite you out to the front lawn, merging indoor and outdoor living with ease.

PRICE RANGE: £675,000 – £700,000

Blackness Oast – A Hidden Gem on Blackness Road

Nestled away on Blackness Road, this rare gem is so discreet that even the locals might be surprised to discover it. Tucked behind what once served as the original farmhouse, Blackness Oast beckons you to meander up its charming driveway and uncover a home steeped in history and brimming with character.

A Blend of Heritage and Comfort

Originally converted into a residential home years ago, Blackness Oast carefully preserves the unique features of its past while offering modern comforts. The main structure, built with traditional East Sussex brick, timber framing, and weatherboarding, showcases the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Notably, the tiled roof has undergone considerable renovation, ensuring the home’s enduring quality and charm.

A Journey Through Time

As you step into the welcoming vestibule, the first modern convenience greets you—a handy downstairs W/C. But it is the journey through time that truly begins here. The single round kiln, crowned with its iconic conical cowl and blinker, immediately captures the imagination. This space has been thoughtfully repurposed; downstairs, it serves as a cozy reception room, while upstairs, it transforms into a unique, round bedroom—perfect for a retreat at the end of the day.

Character and Warmth in Every Corner

The expansive, rectangular lounge is a nod to the property’s past as a stowage area for dried hops, now warmed by an inglenook fireplace that invites you to settle in and relax. The lounge flows effortlessly into the light-filled dining area, complete with an attached conservatory that offers the perfect spot to enjoy all seasons, gazing out over the secluded garden.

Should you desire, there is potential to extend this area, subject to the usual planning consents, to create even more space for your needs.
