Adjoining paddock of approximately 1.6 acres – land area coloured yellow on map: Price on Application, available only in conjunction with the purchase of the main residence.

Description - Danes Beacon is an attractive four-bedroom period home of traditional Kentish style, dating from the early 20th century and occupying a delightful semi-rural position on Foxhole Lane, close to the sought-after village of Hawkhurst. The property is not listed which makes it an exciting proposition with regards extension and refurbishment.

Enjoying an appealing outlook across open fields to the rear, the property combines characterful accommodation with generous outside space, offering an excellent opportunity to acquire a country home in the heart of the High Weald. Extending to approximately 1,232 sq ft (114.4 sq m) of internal accommodation, the house is arranged over two floors. The ground floor centres around an impressive sitting and dining room, measuring approximately 26'2" x 17'2", providing a generous dual-purpose living and entertaining space, complemented by a wood-burning stove. The kitchen is conveniently positioned alongside, while a ground-floor shower room and WC add practical flexibility.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, comprising three well-proportioned doubles and a generous single bedroom, together with a family bathroom. The principal bedroom measures approximately 13'4" x 11'7", with the second bedroom measuring 14'2" x 11'2". The remaining bedrooms offer versatility for family accommodation, guests or home working.

Outside, the property benefits from established front and rear gardens, together with a rear woodland area, extending to approximately one acre in total. The attractive rural outlook enhances the sense of space and privacy, while an in-and-out driveway provides ample off-road parking.

EXCLUSIVE ADDITIONAL LAND OPPORTUNITY
An adjoining paddock extending to approximately 1.6 acres (area coloured yellow on the land map) is available exclusively to the purchaser of Danes Beacon, at a price on application. The paddock cannot be purchased separately and offers the opportunity to create a combined holding of approximately 2.6 acres.

The additional land may appeal to purchasers seeking further amenity land or exploring longer-term possibilities, subject to planning permission, access, title conditions and all necessary consents. No development potential is guaranteed.
All measurements and land areas are approximate. The floor plan is for illustrative purposes only. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the boundaries, title, planning position and any relevant consents.
