Photography: The Modern House
It’s undergone some updates since the 1960s, but this midcentury East Sussex property is packed with original details.
Architects Peter and Beryl Harrison designed the six-bedroom home, which is located in Maresfield, close to Ashdown Forest. It’s undergone extensive renovation over the past five years to bring the house up to date, but its wood-panelled ceilings and bare bricks are intact.
Interiors are minimal and in keeping with the property’s midcentury heritage. The focal point of the home – listed for £875,000 with The Modern House – is its 44-ft-long living room, which looks onto the garden.
Maresfield village is in walking distance, while London Bridge is 70 minutes away from nearby Buxted train station.
