An eight-bedroom East Sussex hideaway is on sale for £5.5m
It'll be hard to find a house as private, yet as well connected, as Roughfield House in Etchingham. Built in the early 20th century, this gleaming white house, with 201 acres, is hidden from the outside world at the end of a winding drive. It is surrounded by ponds, gardens, paddocks and woodland and overlooks a lake, with views beyond the South Downs. Yet this eight-bedroom property is next to the A21 and direct trains to London are only a six-minute drive away. Set over three floors, there's a dining room, two offices, a wine store, cinema room and outbuildings with conversion potential. The gardens, including an orchard and kitchen garden planted by the owner, are the real cherry on the cake.
