What the owners say:
“We bought the converted stables about 15 years ago as we fell in love with the position, the views and the fact it truly offers the best of both worlds — the peace and quiet of the countryside combined with easy access to towns, trains and good food. At that time it was literally a shell — the previous owners had stripped everything back — so we had the rare joy of a genuine blank canvas upon which to create our unique home. We took great pleasure in sourcing reclaimed and characterful materials to bring depth and individuality back into the building, while also incorporating all the essentials of modern living such as bespoke lighting, CAT-5 cabling and fast fibre-optic broadband. We also love that we are within walking distance of Crowborough station, the outstanding Beacon Academy, a great pub and Tesco — it is exceptionally rare to find a rural character property with such modern comforts and countryside peace that also allows you to walk to so many amenities.”
