Nestled within approximately 9 acres in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this historic farmhouse combines the charm of its 14th-century origins with later enhancements from the 18th century. The property features spacious rooms with high ceilings and original elements such as inglenook fireplaces and wide solid wood floorboards, presenting a unique opportunity for renovation while maintaining its historical character.
As you enter through a gravel circular driveway, you are welcomed by a generous hallway that provides access to various living spaces, including an inviting dining room with a large inglenook fireplace and an elegant sitting room that overlooks the gardens. The layout of the ground floor facilitates flexible use, featuring a well-equipped country kitchen with modern appliances and ample storage, along with a cozy family room that could easily be repurposed.
A standout feature is the versatile Garden Room/Utility Room, which could serve multiple functions—from an art studio to a practical utility area—offering convenience with its adjacent shower room. Additionally, there is a charming twin bedroom on this level, ideal for guests or family members.
The first floor comprises several generously sized bedrooms, including a main suite boasting built-in wardrobes and views across the estate. With potential for expansion, the capacious attic space may allow for conversion into additional en-suite rooms pending planning approval.
Outside, the property's grounds include a kitchen garden and an area previously used as a tennis court that now serves as natural play space. The extensive field offers grazing possibilities for horses or agricultural use. Moreover, there’s a separate three-bedroom cottage converted from what was once a wagon shed. Currently operated as a successful holiday let, it features its own private garden space—a valuable asset for generating rental income.
