A fabulous opportunity to revitalise and transform a detached American style ranch house with extensive grounds of ten acres in the grounds of the former Ashdown House School on the edge of Forest Row, either utilising the existing building or possible replacement subject to planning permission from Wealden District Council. This distinctive timber clad dwelling was the former Headmaster/Headmistress’s house to the school and extends to over two thousand six hundred square feet (two hundred and forty five square feet). The house is accessed by its own private driveway leading to an extensive parking forecourt and detached garage. The gardens which lie predominantly to the front of the house, comprise the former cricket pitch encompassed by mature hedging and trees, and have a pleasant south facing aspect. The property is arranged over two floors and currently comprises five bedrooms on the first floor, two bathrooms, one ensuite, and a study. The ground floor has a hallway off which is a cloakroom and further ground floor study. To the rear of the house is a living room with doors opening to the gardens.

Forest Row is an extremely sought after village on the northern outskirts of Ashdown Forest with its 6,400 acres of protected heath/woodland for walking, and riding, by permit. The village itself has a surprisingly wide selection of specialist shops, local stores, churches, cafes and restaurants. Bus services pass through the village to the towns of East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells with more extensive shopping/leisure facilities and main line rail services to various London Stations.
