The Old Reading Room is a converted Victorian Library / Reading Room built in 1881 with Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. There are large church style Rose Windows to the East and West elevations, double fronted stone mullion bay's to the front, 3 large open fireplaces, wood panelling in many rooms and vaulted panelled and beamed ceilings in some rooms which are over 5 meters high, plus a large hand-made Shaker Style kitchen to die for! And as for views... from the substantial south facing roof terrace you won't find anything to compete with this - unless you move to Wales!... Breathtaking, virtually 180 degrees views overlooking the valley and rolling hills, with Ashdown Forest in the distance.What's more, this beautiful house is located in one of the South East's most sought after villages - Turners Hill with fast access to both London and Brighton via road and the two nearby railway stations. The village also includes not one but two great pubs, a good Primary School and a convenient village shop that bakes delicious baguettes that even the French rate!
