Flowers Green House is an exceptional sustainable estate in the Heart of East Sussex. The property has undergone an extensive programme of renovation and enhancement, being reimagined to create an elegant home of exceptional quality, complemented by a range of outstanding ancillary buildings. Combining sophisticated accommodation with impressive self-sufficiency credentials, it offers a refined rural lifestyle without compromise.

Approached via a welcoming entrance hall, the accommodation has been designed for both family living and entertaining. The principal reception room is a beautifully proportioned dual-aspect space, centred around a feature fireplace and enjoying attractive views across the gardens. A further reception room provides additional versatility, ideal as a formal sitting room, family room or home office.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive open-plan kitchen, breakfast and dining room, a wonderfully social space featuring a substantial central island and generous proportions for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. A well-appointed utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

Arranged over the upper floors are six well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite enjoys the luxury of a dedicated dressing room and elegant en-suite facilities, creating a private retreat within the home. Five further bedrooms are served by beautifully appointed bath and shower facilities, offering flexible accommodation for family and guests alike.

At the heart of the home's appeal is its commitment to sustainable living. A comprehensive solar panel and battery storage system generates significant levels of renewable energy, producing in excess of 30kW per day during the summer months and supplying the vast majority of the property's energy requirements. A carefully managed private woodland provides a renewable source of fuel for heating both the residence and swimming pool, while recently installed triple and double glazing further enhances efficiency and year-round comfort. These impressive environmental credentials are complemented by the luxuries expected of a home of this calibre, including underfloor heating and characterful wood-burning stoves.

Gardens and Grounds

The gardens and grounds have been designed to offer both beauty and productivity. A flourishing orchard yields a variety of fruit including apples, pears, plums, cherries and figs, while a herb garden, polytunnel and dedicated growing areas support a highly sustainable lifestyle. A well-maintained paddock offers excellent versatility, whether for keeping livestock, recreational use or other countryside pursuits. There is also space to create separate access to the paddock which could then potentially be used to build ancillary accommodation if required (subject to necessary consents).

Surrounding the house, the landscaped gardens create a series of inviting outdoor spaces, perfectly suited to entertaining, family enjoyment and quiet relaxation. Mature planting, expansive lawns and thoughtfully designed terraces provide an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquillity throughout the seasons.

Outbuildings

There is a newly constructed oak-framed barn, currently arranged as a gym and leisure complex with water, drainage and electric connected, it could easily be used as ancillary accommodation (subject to necessary consents). There is also a three bay oak frame garage & carport, workshop and poolhouse.

Location

Enjoying an enviable setting, the property is just a short stroll from the sought-after village of Herstmonceux, renowned for its characterful pubs, restaurants and local amenities. An award-winning vineyard lies moments away, whilst far-reaching views towards the Pevensey Levels, Herstmonceux Castle and Observatory provide a captivating backdrop to everyday life. Despite its peaceful surroundings, the property offers excellent convenience, delivering the best of village living in an idyllic countryside setting.
