Nutley, East Sussex

Believed to be a former 18th century threshing barn and imaginatively converted by the previous owners circa 2000, the main barn extends to about 3500 square feet. There are numerous character features of a property synonymous of this period, including a wealth of exposed antique timbers. Of particular note, is the imposing 29 ft drawing room with double height vaulted ceiling. This impressive space includes floor to ceiling windows which take the living area into the outdoor environment, optimising the uninterrupted views. In addition, the barn includes a 1 bedroom self contained annexe ideal for relatives, guests or staff. There is also a second detached oak barn, currently used as a studio/workshop, and includes a shower room and WC. The current owners have carried out an extensive architectural programme of improvements which include an outstanding custom built kitchen/living room, a variety of antique and bespoke fittings, and an abundance of purpose built storage facilities throughout. There is also a replacement oil fired boiler, hot water cylinder, accumulater and oil storage tank. All water into the house is filtered. There is also a Klargester drainage system.
