The vendors comments:-
“The time has come to pass on our beloved barns to new custodians. We have been blessed with a unique and tranquil home since we moved to Hamsey a generation ago. This ancient homestead , on the banks of the river Ouse offers an idyllic location at the foot of the Downs within walking distance of the County town of Lewes.It has been our family home by the river where we have enjoyed the sense of history, the space, the views, the walks, the wildlife, the garden, log fires and the very best possible neighbours. If you are looking for an escape to the country, but not too far from the madding crowd, come and visit us in Hamsey.
