About this property

**GUIDE PRICE £140,000 - £160,000**

Set within the prestigious and historic Southover Place—an elegant former country estate dating back to 1887—this charming one-bedroom split-level maisonette offers an exceptional combination of character, space, and modern living. The property is thoughtfully arranged over two floors, creating a natural division between living and sleeping accommodation. With a bright open-plan layout, a private balcony overlooking the communal grounds, and access to a superb range of on-site leisure facilities, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a unique home in a peaceful and highly sought-after rural setting.

The accommodation begins with a private entrance hall on the ground floor, providing a practical space for coats and storage before leading into the open-plan kitchen and living area.

This generous room offers excellent versatility, comfortably accommodating both seating and dining areas, and is perfectly suited to modern living and entertaining. The kitchen is neatly arranged along one side, complete with fitted units, worktop space, and integrated appliances, while a central island or breakfast bar enhances functionality and creates a sociable focal point. To the far end, French doors open directly onto the private balcony, drawing in natural light and providing an elevated outlook across the tennis courts and beautifully maintained gardens, significantly enhancing the sense of space and connection to the outdoors.

Rising to the first floor, the property continues to impress with a well-proportioned double bedroom, offering ample room for bedroom furniture along with built-in storage. The bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook over the surrounding grounds, reinforcing the calm and tranquil atmosphere of the home. Also located on this level is the bathroom, which is fitted with a full-sized bath and overhead shower, wash basin, and WC, arranged within a practical layout. The split-level design ensures privacy and separation from the main living space, making the upstairs accommodation feel both comfortable and well-defined.

Externally, Southover Place is set within extensive, beautifully landscaped communal grounds, including south-facing gardens that are meticulously maintained throughout the year. Residents benefit from access to an impressive sun terrace area, complete with outdoor furniture such as loungers, tables, and a barbecue, ideal for relaxing or socialising in the warmer months. The development also provides both allocated and visitor parking to the front, ensuring ease and convenience for residents and guests alike. Additionally, the estate boasts a wide range of premium shared facilities, including an indoor heated swimming pool, fully equipped gym, snooker room, laundry room, and an all-weather tennis court, creating a lifestyle offering that is rarely found in properties of this type.

Located along a quiet country lane, Southover Place enjoys a peaceful yet well-connected position just over a mile from the picturesque village of Burwash, which offers a selection of local amenities, shops, and eateries. The nearby towns of Heathfield and Royal Tunbridge Wells provide a broader range of shopping, dining, and leisure options. For commuters, Stonegate mainline station is approximately 2.5 miles away, offering regular services to London, while the A21 provides convenient road links to the wider region. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, this location is perfectly suited for those seeking a balance between rural tranquillity and everyday accessibility.
