Description

This charming Grade II listed detached house, thought to date back to the 17th century or earlier, features attractive red tile-hung elevations beneath a tiled roof. The property has been thoughtfully refurbished, preserving its character while providing beautifully presented family accommodation across approximately 3,143 square feet over three floors. In addition to the main residence, there is an unconverted Grade II listed oast house, presenting significant potential for further development, along with delightful gardens and grounds that extend to about 0.7 acres, adjoining open countryside. Internally, the current owners have maintained the property's historical charm, showcasing exposed bricks, beams, and timbers, as well as inviting fireplaces with wood burners. The reception areas flow seamlessly, including a sitting room with a striking fireplace and a study/home office complete with fitted bookshelves and another wood burner. The spacious country kitchen/breakfast room boasts bespoke fitted units with granite worktops, a Belfast sink overlooking the gardens, an Aga cooker, and a large central island with an oak worktop and breakfast bar. This kitchen opens into a triple-aspect dining room featuring a vaulted ceiling and French doors leading to the rear terrace and gardens, perfect for entertaining. On the first floor, there are three generously sized bedrooms, one of which includes an en suite w.c., alongside a stunning bathroom with exposed beams, a free-standing bath on a raised plinth, and a separate walk-in shower. The second floor hosts an impressive principal bedroom suite with a vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers, featuring an exquisitely appointed en suite bathroom that also offers a free-standing bath and separate walk-in shower. This suite includes a substantial dressing room/study/sitting room that provides flexibility for various uses and enjoys far-reaching rural views. The property is approached via a private driveway leading to both the main house and the oast house, alongside ample parking. A small workshop and log store are attached to the house. The rear paved terrace is ideal for al fresco dining while taking in the splendid countryside views. The surrounding gardens are beautifully landscaped with mature trees, shrubs, and plants, including a stream with a charming wooden footbridge, a greenhouse, and an orchard. Adjacent to the house, the unconverted oast house offers enormous potential (subject to obtaining necessary planning consents), with lapsed planning permission available for conversion into ancillary accommodation. The property is located within the High Weald National Landscape Area in the hamlet of Woods Green, boasting stunning rural vistas. The nearby town of Wadhurst is just over a mile away, providing shops and amenities as well as a mainline station for convenient commuting to London.
