A Grade II listed gem a short distance from beautiful Ticehurst
FORMERLY known as Gravel Pit Farm, the delightful Baber House, believed to date from the late 1500s, is Grade II listed, with its extensive period features and stunning Sussex farmhouse style of architecture. Located a third of a mile from Ticehurst village, Baber House is approached via a sweeping driveway surrounded by lawns, mature hedging and shrub and rose beds. The attractive grounds extend to just under an acre, with a pond and summer house at the front. Inside is a wealth of period features, such as inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams, which really give this character home warmth and charm. The dining and drawing rooms are notably appealing spaces, plus there’s an excellent family room, sitting room and small study. Integral appliances and a former inglenook are key features of the kitchen/breakfast room, and there are two downstairs cloakrooms and access to a cellar. Upstairs, all five bedrooms are doubles and there are two good sized bathrooms. In the attic room, there is potential to create more accommodation if required, subject to the necessary planning consents.
