Description

Lambert & Foster are excited to bring to the market this beautifully renovated four/five-bedroom detached Grade II Listed farmhouse and a detached former oast barn with planning permission for a two-bedroom annexe on a plot of approximately 1.55 acres (TBV) including a paddock of 0.5 acres (TBV) in in an idyllic setting in a rural position on the outskirts of Wadhurst.

The farmhouse has been meticulously renovated throughout including a new roof, new flooring, new insulation and a host of other renovations all done to comply with the property’s Grade II Listed status.
The farmhouse benefits from approximately 3,970 sq ft. of internal living space and is set over three floors and includes, on the ground floor, a snug, kitchen, cellar, entrance porch, two sitting rooms and a utility room. On the first floor you find three bedrooms, two ensuite shower rooms, a dressing room, a walk-in-wardrobe and a family bathroom. On the second floor you find two attic rooms and a further bedroom.

There is also a characterful detached former oast set over two floors with approximately 1900 sq. ft. of internal space with full planning permission to convert into a two-bedroom annexe.

The property is approached by a sweeping driveway that is newly landscaped leading to a large gravel parking area with ample room for several vehicles. The grounds are a particular feature of the property and include a large pond, paddock of 0.5 acres (TBV) and a shepherd’s hut which comes with the property.
The property is in a truly beautiful rural setting well away from the road yet within proximity to the nearby market town of Wadhurst and Wadhust train station.
