On the market for the first time in over 30 years, Tanyards is a beautifully evolved 17th-century Sussex farmhouse, fronted by an elegant 18th-century façade.

Set in a peaceful corner of East Sussex, it enjoys the best of both worlds: easy access to London, yet surrounded by rolling countryside.

This is not a house of beige conformity. While the restrained politeness of a pale grey wall is evident on occasion, its personality is generally more eclectic.

An artist and an collector have called this place home for over thirty years, leaving their mark on the property throughout their time here. During this period, it has undergone a complete renovation.

Period details ground the home in its past: hand-carved cornices, wide sash windows that spill light across generous rooms, and open fireplaces that still carry the scent of woodsmoke. The flow is organic, designed for both inspiration and connection.
