Description
Upper Cowden Farm is a truly unique opportunity: a detached four-bedroom barn conversion set in an elevated position with panoramic views across rolling countryside. The property sits within approximately 9.36 acres of grounds, which include two lakes, several ponds, woodland, meadowland/paddocks, and an impressive collection of barns and outbuildings.Tucked away at the end of a long private driveway, the setting is wonderfully peaceful and secluded. Once a fishery and carp farm, the property now offers enormous scope for transformation. Planning permission has already been granted to remodel and extend the existing accommodation into a striking, contemporary home arranged over two floors (Wealden District Council reference WD/2024/2182/F).The current layout comprises a porch and hallway leading to a kitchen, cloakroom, and bedroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, a largely open-plan living space incorporates a sitting and dining area with garden access, alongside four bedrooms and a shower room. A utility room and store adjoin the property.The approved plans reimagine the house entirely, introducing a stylish kitchen, cloakroom, and living room at ground level, while the first floor will feature a gallery, sitting room, snug with bi-fold doors to a terrace, and four bedrooms with three bathrooms. The principal suite will be a showpiece, complete with dressing room and luxurious en-suite.Beyond the house, the grounds are simply breathtaking. The lakes and ponds shimmer against the backdrop of woodland and paddocks, while the substantial barns and outbuildings, including a 1,092 sq ft dairy and cow shed, provide endless possibilities for storage, hobbies, or further development.This is a rare chance to acquire a characterful barn conversion with planning permission already in place, set within spectacular grounds and enjoying uninterrupted countryside views.
