Description
Shortridge House enjoys a superb location set down a drive off Sheepstreet Lane with glorious southerly views, originally a granary and converted into a residential dwelling in 1983.

The main features of the property include:
• Covered storm porch to the front door which leads to the family/dining room with exposed floorboards and feature bay window to the front.

• The master bedroom is double aspect with an archway leading into a dressing area and the en suite bathroom with bath, WC and wash basin.
• There are three further bedrooms, all of which have an attractive outlook, and a family bathroom.
The Barn Complex
Situated to the north of the house is a substantial single storey barn extending to 4,109 square feet. This comprises an annexe with kitchen/living room, bedroom, shower room. Further selection of rooms including large workshops, studio, storerooms and games room.
Planning Note: Informal advice has been sought from Rother District Council in regard to the replacement of Shortridge Farm and the barn with a two-storey detached dwelling. The response to this is: Due to being a replacement dwelling this would comply with RA3 of the Core Strategy and would be acceptable in principle.
The Gardens
Shortridge Farm is approached and set back from the lane down a shared driveway and then onto its own private driveway where there are several areas of hardstanding for the parking and turning of vehicles. Adjacent to the house is an open-fronted garage with three storerooms.
The grounds are principally laid to grass and have wonderful southerly views.
Gardens and grounds - in all about 1.2 acres.
