Kester House is a detached Grade II listed tithe barn conversion that dates back to at least the 17th Century and is Grade II listed for its architectural and historical merit.  The property enjoys a fascinating history and was initially converted in the Victorian period by the renowned water colour artist Hercules Brabonson who used the gallery to display his artwork in the late 19th Century.  The property has also been used as the village tea rooms and a B&B in more recent times. The property is very well maintained and retains many of the period features you would expect to find including working fireplaces, vaulted ceilings and although the property is heavily timbered, the ceiling heights are good. The extensive accommodation, which is over 2700 sq.ft. offers a surprising amount of versatility and the property is considered ideal for dual family or multi-generational occupancy, or has potential for home and income purposes.  The property is currently configured as having 3 reception rooms, however the main reception room which is 34' in length is partially galleried and could be reconfigured to create two separate rooms.  There are two staircases leading to the first floor where there are five bedrooms, two of which having an en-suite and a further two family bathrooms.  There is also a mezzanine overlooking the main reception room which also offers potential.  Externally the property enjoys an attractive partially walled courtyard garden that is considered to offer a good deal of privacy.  The property is located in the centre of the popular village of Sedlescombe just off the village green.  Sedlescombe enjoys a local store and post office, a primary school, doctors surgery, hotel and public house.  A more comprehensive range of amenities can be found at nearby Battle which also has a mainline station with regular services to London Charing Cross.  The area is very well served for schools, both comprehensive and private, primary and secondary levels as well as sites of historical interest and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this fascinating family home.
