£699,000 FREEHOLD

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A MOST IMPRESSIVE DETACHED VICTORIAN HOUSE OF OUTSTANDING CHARACTER, OCCUPYING A SEMI-RURAL LOCATION ON THE BORDERS OF STONE CROSS AND HANKHAM.  Milton Place presents a most attractive appearance and has part brick rendered and tile hung elevations beneath a tiled roof.  Careful thought has been given to the retention and enhancement of the period features and of particular note are the high stripped pine skirting boards and internal doors, some with stained glass windows.  The well presented accommodation is beautifully proportioned and includes four reception rooms.  The house is set within sizeable gardens that include a formal lawned area, together with a heated swimming pool.  The 26’ x 15’ detached chalet will be of particular interest to those requiring a large home office, workshop or studio.  Enjoying a favoured location, views over adjoining countryside are enjoyed from some of the rooms, whilst local shopping facilities are little more than a ¼ mile at Stone Cross.  Polegate High Street and mainline railway station are approximately 2½ miles whilst the market town of Hailsham is approximately 4 miles.  Eastbourne town centre is a little more than 6 miles.
