Ragged Lands is an extensively refurbished, detached three bedroom environmentally efficient property set in the heart of the South Downs in an elevated position within the highly sought after village of Glynde where private residential properties rarely become available. Glynde is a delightful village in a charming countryside location just 3 miles East of the historic county town of Lewes.
Transport links include a mainline railway station (London Victoria and London Bridge approx. 80 minutes). The city of Brighton lies 11 miles west, Eastbourne 14 mile east and Lewes just 3 miles west. The A27 offers access to the national motorway network, with Gatwick Airport approx. 55 minutes by car to the north. Built in 1906, this Edwardian property and the surrounding land was adapted and refined for use as the 'Viscountess Wolseley's College for Lady Gardeners', however the site itself is recorded from as early as 1697 as being the best field for barley in the parish and from which it takes its name.
Ragged Lands offers an ecologically efficient home with all the prerequisites and luxuries of modern living. The majority of the 2573 sq ft of living space is oriented towards magnificent views of Firle Beacon. Numerous picture windows and bay windows function to perfectly frame the glorious garden and countryside views from many different aspects and allow natural light to flood the internal living accommodation.
To the ground floor a beautiful handcrafted 23ft kitchen annexed to a 13ft utility room provides style and convenience. At the heart of the home, a 19 ft drawing room provides an impressive living space which opens out onto a beautiful terrace overlooking the grassy banks which lead down through the gardens. To the first floor there is a library and three double bedrooms including an opulent master bedroom suite comprising; dressing room, home office and a luxury en-suite bathroom.
