The Property
Eastwood is a substantial Grade II Listed wing of a country house which offers extensive accommodation and sits in a private and convenient position. The property forms an impressive wing of Grade II Listed Urpeth Hall, a grand period property with a wealth of historic interest. The original hall dates back to the mid-18^th century, with significant additions and extensions dating from around 1890. During the Second World War, Urpeth Hall was used as a searchlight station operated by the US Skylighters battalion, which saved countless Allied planes, and for a time the hall also served as a prisoner of war camp. Today, Urpeth Hall has been divided and Eastwood is the magnificent east wing, boasting original features and great character. Generous gardens offer private and peaceful outdoor space, and glorious countryside surrounds the property, with easy access to all local and regional centres.

Eastwood boasts impressive reception rooms that offer wonderful space and flexibility for all occasions. These rooms feature elegant, tasteful décor that brings a period feel blended with high quality modern finishes. The sitting room is filled with light from three windows that overlook the gardens, with an open flow to the lovely drawing room. The family room is the third generously proportioned reception room. For more formal entertaining, the garden/dining room is unique and beautiful, with a gorgeous curved bay and large internal windows flanking a glazed door to the kitchen. The kitchen has a country house atmosphere with a fine range of bespoke cabinetry, central island and a grand AGA nestled within an inglenook. The kitchen is served by a spacious utility room with fabulous coloured glass windows and an adjoining WC. The utility room also connects to the integral double garage.

The first floor is home to the expansive gym/games room that could also lend itself to a host of other uses. The current configuration has a pool table and lots of space for a comfortable sitting area. The principal bedroom sits above the garden/dining room and as such also has an attractive curved bay. This impressive suite also incorporates a well-appointed shower room and a substantial dressing room with fitted storage. There are three further bedrooms on the first floor; one is Jack & Jill to the superb fully tiled bathroom, and another has an en-suite shower room.

Moving to the second floor reveals a magnificent glazed ceiling above the staircase and landing, with coloured glass tinting the light as it streams through. The quality found throughout Eastwood continues into three more bedrooms, with two linked by a Jack & Jill shower room. A large, quiet study is the perfect place to work from home.

Externally
Eastwood is approached via an imposing gated entrance to the driveway with ample parking space and access to the integral double garage. The property has extensive and well-maintained private gardens that extend to around 0.4 acres. The mature gardens include well-maintained lawns surrounded by established trees and hedging and there is a woodland area tucked away. A patio terrace runs across the front of the property to overlook the gardens with space for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Within the gardens is a remarkable Grade II Listed ice house. Built in the early part of the 19^th century by Calverley Bewicke, a member of a Newcastle family of merchants and MP for Winchelsea from 1806 – 1816, the ice house, resting beneath an artificial mound, is a reminder of his success and influence.
