Hawkley Hurst is a major Grade II listed country mansion built in 1861 for a local landowner and designed by the eminent Victorian architect Teulon in a “Cotswold-style”. The house has very fine sandstone elevations under a steep tiled roof. In circa 1980 the house was converted into five large courts, each with its own garden, and three flats, all of whom use the communal gardens and grounds.
The property itself offers fabulous proportions, with excellent ceiling heights, ornate cornicing and many period features. The private front door leads to a generous hallway, which provides access to the elegant drawing room, with its oak floors, marble fireplace with Jetmaster fire, and French doors to the garden. The kitchen / dining room is well laid out, with a range of solid wood units, flagstone floors and an AGA. Ground floor accommodation also includes a study, with garden views to the rear, downstairs w/c, pantry and library. To the first floor are 3 bedrooms, one of which is a good sized principal bedroom with en suite, and a further family bathroom.

Outside
Externally, the immediate gardens to the rear are private and demised to the apartment, with a York stone terrace which is an excellent al fresco entertaining and dining area. A further lawned area has views across to the 8 acres of communal grounds with pergola, fish pond, and steps leading further down the hanger to the old carriage drive, woodland walk and path to the headwater stream of the River Rother. In addition to parking on the drive, there are two garages owned by the property.
