Catts Hill – Mark Cross

Discover a magical haven amidst the bustle and buzz of life, at this enchanting home reimagined for 21st century living.

Pull off the road and along the driveway, where plenty of parking is available in addition to a Zapi EVC point, and double garage, accessed through up and over electric powered doors. A secure pedestrian gate provides access through to the front garden, a green oasis of established borders, brimming with mature, white hydrangeas.

Rural retreat reimagined
A former cart lodge, rebuilt as a bungalow before being further reimagined as a spacious two storey home, this family home is furnished with newly fitted windows including light-infusing Velux windows on the upper floor, and decorated in a fresh palette of paint featuring mostly Farrow and Ball and Little Greene alongside enchanting wallpapers from Emma Shipley and Sanderson.

Step inside, where tall glass from either side of the front door invites light into the broad and bright entrance hall.

Savour the view
On the left, delicate dragonfly motif wallpaper from Sanderson bedecks the feature wall of the spacious sitting room, as wide windows to the side and rear invite enchanting views out over the glorious garden, with its well-stocked borders and mature trees, privately enclosed behind established hedging – a haven for wildlife.

An ornamental fireplace currently accommodates an electric stove, whilst there is plenty of space for sofas, side tables and other furniture. Air conditioning retains an ambient temperature in the warmth of summertime. A bright and bountiful room, the sitting room opens up through French doors to a large garden room beyond, where the Charnwood log burner, fitted by Woodstock Fires Heathfields, infuses the space with warmth and welcome.

Culinary hub
Tiled flooring flows underfoot, with plenty of space for both a sofa and dining table, allowing you to season mealtimes with glorious garden views. In summer, dine alfresco, as French doors open to the glass-enclosed elevated patio terrace.

Casual dining can be enjoyed at the breakfast bar which marries the garden room with the kitchen, which flows freely off from here. Composite stone worktops offer plenty of preparation space on the breakfast bar, with storage beneath, whilst grooved draining features to the 1.5 sink.

Plenty of storage
Soft sage cabinetry provides abundant, accessible drawer storage to the walls, with attractive, herringbone Fired Earth splashback tiles. Solar panels help power the Everhot electric oven, with Bosch and Neff dishwashers also in situ in the kitchen alongside space for a freestanding American style fridge.

Reconnect with the entrance hall and make your way along to the right of the front door, along an inner hallway leading to a cloakroom on the left.

Beautifully dressed in ethereal wallpaper and a remarkable shell feature wall, built-in storage for towels and linens can be found in an airing cupboard, with a WC and wash basin also available.

Across the entrance hall, a versatile reception room, currently serving as both study and den, awaits. Carpeted underfoot, with views out over the floral front garden, the feature wallpaper harmonises with the neutral shades of paint.

Sweet dreams
Along the entrance hallway, turn left to arrive at a light-filled bedroom, dressed in Emma Shipley ‘Lynx’ wallpaper. Spacious and bright, with views out over the garden, refresh and revive in the beautifully decorated ensuite, with shower, heated towel radiator, wash basin and WC alongside plumbing for a washing machine.

An archway beckons you through to an inner hall, where a boot room awaits to the left. Practical vinyl flooring flows underfoot, with verdant views out over the garden. Plenty of storage is available in the fitted furniture, with a fitted desk to one wall making this a multifunctional room also serving as a study.

Practical places
A top mounted door slides open to the spacious utility room with a handy cloakroom, where grey cabinetry offers plenty of storage, and a stable door leads out to the garden. Previously used as a kitchen, consider the potential to create an annex in this area of the home, combining both boot room, utility and art room – a bright room with great flexibility, also offering access to the garden and located beyond the utility room.

Versatile spaces
With its versatile layout, there is no end of potential configuration for the rooms – which can be easily repurposed to best serve your family needs.

Make your way up from the staircase in the inner hall, where a window on the turn offers leafy views out over the maturely planted front driveway, before arriving at the first-floor landing.

Light-filled living
Velux windows deliver plenty of light down over the stairs and landing, before turning left to reach the presidentially sized principal bedroom. Newly fitted Sharps wardrobes in Willow run floor to ceiling along two walls, with Elizabeth door fittings, offering sartorial storage for all seasons, whilst views entreat from the large window above the dressing table, out over the garden and the surrounding countryside.

Refresh and revive
Relax and restore your senses in the luxurious ensuite, where glitter grout features in the Blizzard panelled shower, and a deep bathtub with showerhead attachment beckons from beneath the large Velux, for indulgent soaks.

From this bedroom there is access to the large loft room, which offers potential for a further bedroom or a mezzanine above the drawing room should you need.

To the opposite side of the landing, on the left lies another bedroom; currently serving as an ironing and utility room with plumbing for a washing machine, a sink and with built-in storage but which could easily be reverted to cupboard space for clothing.

Soak away your cares
Freshen up in the family bathroom, with attractive wash basin unit from Tikamoon, Blizzard shower panelling from East Bathrooms and Victoria Plumb bath. Birch parquet porcelain tiled flooring features underfoot with onyx moonstone tiles to the walls.

Light serenades the guest bedroom at the end of the landing through three large Velux windows, whilst an air conditioner ensures refreshingly clement temperatures in the height of the summer. Capacious and with glorious garden views, plenty of storage can be found in this peaceful and private bedroom.

Fun for all the family
Safe and secure for children and pets, gates to the front and side lead to the gardens.
A magical oasis for all ages, the shed and playhouse appear more like fairytale cottages, whilst the lush green lawn is dotted with maturely planted borders brimming with colourful hydrangeas, olive trees, acers, banana plants and twisted trunk bay tree.

Soak up the sunshine on the composite decking, sheltered by the vine and wisteria festooned pergola or at the elevated paved patio. Fire up the pizza oven, beneath the side pergola – the ultimate space in which to wine, dine and entertain.

Grow your own in the Qube greenhouse. With over 1.5 acres of garden at your behest, lose yourself in hours of green fingered gratification.

As the sun sets to the west, gather by the pond – a favourite spot for pond dipping youngsters – and watch it melt into the horizon, glass of wine in hand.

Out and about
Ideally situated, explore all the delights that await close to this wonderful home.

Enjoy evenings out dining and socialising at must-visit local, The Lazy Fox, offering fantastic pizzas paired with stunning views. The Middle House in Mayfield is another local gem, known for its quaint charm and delicious food.

If you’re in the mood for some shopping or a relaxing meal, the Sussex Country Gardener garden centre is conveniently close, serving up local produce and light lunches.

Nature lovers will be spoiled for choice, with Ashdown Forest just a short drive away and both Bedgebury Pinetum and Bewl Water also within easy reach – both ideal for long, scenic walks in the countryside. A little further afield, Royal Tunbridge Wells combines shopping, dining, and nature for a lovely day out.

For practical amenities, the nearest GP surgeries can be found easily, in nearby Rotherfield and Crowborough, with a Post Office in Rotherfield village at the top of Catt’s Hill. A sociable and welcoming village, community events such as the annual bonfire society procession come through Rotherfield village, whilst the neighbours are a friendly group.

Excellent educational options abound locally, with independent Mayfield Girls’ School around seven minutes’ drive away whilst a range of primary schools including Sacred Heart School are nearby. For secondary education, Beacon College and Uplands Community College are excellent choices nearby in Wadhurst.

A versatile home, offering a peaceful and welcoming space for the whole family, and a unique haven in the hustle and bustle of the modern world. From evenings spent gathered around the firepit admiring beautiful sunsets to days filled with the sound of children’s laughter as they play, explore, and make lasting memories; whether it’s pond dipping or building dens, this is truly a home in which all the family can enjoy the simple pleasures of nature together.
