For Sale4 Bedroom Detached Bungalow in Pound Green, Buxted, Uckfield Tn22 4jn£800,000

What the owners say: We fell in love with the private and tranquil surroundings as well as the bungalow as soon as we wandered up the drive. The location is ideal as it is totally secluded and you can’t see the bungalow from the road and yet it is only a short walk to the village. There has only been one previous owner of this property and they were very keen gardeners and had the whole area landscaped which is why we have such a very special garden surrounding the bungalow. We shall be very sad to leave but a change of circumstances mean that we have to pass the baton on to new owners. Buxted is a delightful village that includes two pub/restaurants, a convenience store, farm shop, a good primary school, a medical centre and a village hall with a variety of activities as well as a train station where trains to London Bridge take just over an hour. There are also wonderful walks nearby as well as access to the more than 200 acres of the delightful Buxted Park. This includes the famous Buxted Park Hotel that was historically the 18th century country seat of Lord Liverpool but was badly damaged by fire in 1940 but subsequently ‘rose again from the ashes’ and is now a beautifully imposing country house hotel with all the facilities one might expect. There are also a number of sports clubs available including the Piltdown golf club nearby. Not far away is a new Marks and Spencer food hall with ample parking, while Uckfield town offers Waitrose and Tesco, a delightful Art Deco cinema, a leisure centre with a swimming pool and a variety of independent shops, hairdressers and restaurants. There are several veterinary centres close by and a cottage hospital on the edge of town. Uckfield College is a fine and well-respected secondary school, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, while there are a number of excellent private schools within a 15-mile radius, including the highly regarded Cumnor House School. The captivating market town of Lewes is  just over 12 miles away—a postcard-pretty town full of history and tradition while it is about the same distance to the historic spa town of Tunbridge Wells. Nearby Glyndebourne hosts an annual opera festival every summer with world-class performances in a unique country house setting.
