An idyllic country home up for sale in East Sussex not only has plenty of kerb appeal but also boasts a unique literary USP.

The 1930s detached country home is situated in the enchanting Ashdown Forest – best known for being the home of A.A. Milnes’ Winnie-the-Pooh.

The home's forest setting is brilliant for those who love to get outdoors, offering extensive walks, trails, bike rides and horse riding, and is just 500m away from the famous Pooh Stick's Bridge.

As well as offering blissful countryside views, the property comes with four acres as well as a horseshoe-shaped stable block fitted with solar panels, plus direct access to a bridle path for riding into Ashdown Forest.

The four-bed property has been stylishly renovated inside to make the most of the glorious views, with generous floor-to-ceiling windows in multiple rooms. It also comes with other desirable touches, such as a separate boot room with underfloor heating and a cloakroom.
