Windmill House is a substantial early 20th‑century detached home set in about 3.7 acres in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The principal house provides almost 3,000 sq ft of flexible accommodation over two floors: a large drawing room with bay windows and an open fireplace, a part‑vaulted conservatory/dining room opening onto the garden, a generous kitchen/breakfast room with underfloor heating and a useful wine cellar. Light fills the rooms via dual aspects and a generous landing with a sky lantern.
A self‑contained two‑bedroom annexe (approaching 1,000 sq ft) offers multi‑generational living, guest or rental potential with its own kitchen, sitting room and shower room. Outside, the grounds are a key asset — a south‑facing lawn with far reaching countryside views, full‑size tennis court, private drive and double garage. Pedestrian access to Wadhurst High Street is available via Castle Walk; the station is about 1.2 miles away.
The property will suit families seeking space, countryside living and schooling options nearby. It also offers obvious income or independent‑living opportunities through the sizeable annexe. Energy and running costs are a practical consideration: the house uses oil‑fired central heating, the external walls are cavity construction with no added insulation assumed, and council tax is described as quite expensive.
Buyers should note some practical matters: drainage is private (septic/foul treatment), the property is sold subject to any wayleaves and easements, and the house dates from 1900–1929 so there may be opportunities and costs associated with modernisation or energy upgrades. Flood risk is low and broadband speeds are fast, making the house comfortable for modern family life or home working.
