Host managed

A characterful early 20th-century country house in Newick, East Sussex, with strong Arts and Crafts influences and possible earlier origins. Set within mature grounds, the property has a distinctive period feel, with tile-hung elevations, brick detailing, tall leaded windows, high ceilings, original fireplaces and traditional timber features throughout.

The house is pre-renovation and has not been materially updated for around 40 years, giving it an authentic, traditional atmosphere that is increasingly rare. It has not been stripped back or over-modernised, retaining a layered, lived-in quality with older finishes, generous room proportions and a slightly time-worn country house charm.

Externally, the property offers excellent visual character, including a tiled covered walkway with timber posts, mature gardens, lawn, hedging, trees, outbuildings, garaging and a picturesque pond setting. The mix of established planting, traditional architecture and rustic outbuildings gives the house a strong countryside identity.

Internally, the property extends to over 3,100 sq ft, with generous reception rooms, large windows, period fireplaces, a traditional kitchen, five bedrooms and former servants’ quarters with separate access. The layout, scale and unmodernised interiors make it well suited to film, television, editorial and photographic shoots requiring an authentic English country house setting.

The house would work particularly well for period drama, countryside family homes, heritage productions, crime, mystery, character-led drama, editorial shoots and productions looking for a traditional pre-renovation property with atmosphere and texture.

There are additional period items / props that can be included in the rental on negotiation from period newspapers (earliest 1920's), traditional plates & china, through to a 1948 Mark VI Bentley (Estate, Dark Green, can be customised to requirement)
