Jack’s Platt is a delightful detached home offering 2,327 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation arranged over two generous floors. The property provides light, airy and flexible accommodation with understated, traditional styling, while outside there are splendid gardens and far-reaching dramatic views across the surrounding heathland landscapes.

Entering the property via the porch with its built-in bench seating, double doors lead to the welcoming reception hall with its tiled flooring, turned staircase leading to the upper level, and doors to the main ground-floor reception rooms. The largest of the reception rooms is the 26ft drawing room, which has a fireplace fitted with a log burner, space for a seating area and a dining area and benefits from a south-west facing dual aspect with French doors, taking in views across the gardens and beyond. There is also a relaxed sitting room for everyday family living and a study with built-in shelving. Towards the front of the ground floor, the kitchen and breakfast room is fitted with farmhouse-style painted wooden units, wooden worktops, a central island and an Aga, and includes space for a large breakfast or dining table.

One bedroom can be found on the ground level, which is ideal for use as a study or a guest bedroom, and has access to a shower room, which doubles as a utility/laundry room. Upstairs you will find an additional three well-presented bedrooms, each of which is similarly proportioned and benefits from built-in storage. There is a bathroom and eaves storage with potential for extension (STPP).

This property has 0.36 acres of land.

Outside

The property is accessed via a lane, across a cattle grid and through beautiful heathland-style countryside to the driveway in front of the house, which provides parking for several vehicles and access to the detached garage, workshop and store at the side. The house itself is nestled in a secluded position, with the beautiful Ashdown Forest countryside laid out before it. The gardens include rolling lawns and well-tended shrubs and hedgerows, as well as a sunny southwestfacing patio for al fresco dining, which provides a truly special setting for taking in those far-reaching views. The gardens also provide gated access directly onto the forest’s heathland.

Situation

Jacks Platt enjoys a peaceful position outside Duddleswell, on the edge of the Ashdown Forest in East Sussex. The surrounding countryside offers miles of woodland and heathland walks, while nearby Uckfield, East Grinstead, and Tunbridge Wells provide a wide range of shops, schools, and leisure facilities.

Communications are excellent: the A22 and A26 give access to regional centres, Uckfield and East Grinstead stations provide rail services to London in under 90 minutes, and Gatwick Airport is within easy reach, making Jacks Platt a well-connected yet tranquil rural location.
