Waterside House

Wadhurst, East Sussex

16

Waterside House, a remarkable English country home located in Wadhurst, East Sussex, offers a luxurious retreat that accommodates up to 16 guests across its 8 bedrooms. Nestled on the banks of Bewl Water, this grand property is surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it an ideal getaway just an hour's drive from London. The approach to the house features a winding drive through lush woodlands, culminating in the impressive sight of the Art and Crafts mansion, characterized by its ornate antique chimneys and beautifully manicured lawns.

Upon entering through the thick oak front door, guests are welcomed into a spacious reception hall, highlighted by an elegant staircase and a galleried landing. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen and breakfast area, which boasts a part-glass ceiling that floods the space with natural light. The adjacent dining room, equipped with top-quality amenities, provides an excellent setting for entertaining, whether for casual gatherings or formal celebrations. The seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living is facilitated by double doors leading to a stone patio that overlooks the expansive 800-acre lake, offering a quintessentially English experience.

The interior design of Waterside House is a perfect blend of rustic charm and contemporary style, ensuring that guests feel at home in a cozy yet sophisticated environment. The impeccable décor throughout the property enhances the overall experience, allowing visitors to unwind and enjoy their surroundings. Despite its proximity to the A21, which connects to London, the house provides a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle, allowing guests to engage in leisure activities like boating on the lake or relaxing on the patio with a glass of wine as the sun sets.

In addition to the luxurious accommodations, Waterside House is strategically located near various recreational opportunities. The 13-mile circuit around Bewl Water is perfect for walking, running, or cycling, while the area offers a range of activities including trout fishing, sailing, canoeing, and kayaking. For those seeking adventure, options such as bicycle hire, horse riding, quad biking, and clay pigeon shooting are available nearby. With the charming towns of Royal Tunbridge Wells and Rye just a short drive away, guests can easily explore the local culture and attractions, making Waterside House an exceptional destination for both relaxation and adventure.
