Cansiron Wood is a substantial unlisted farmhouse set privately behind gated brick pillars, approached via a long drive and surrounded by more than 40 acres of paddocks, formal gardens and mature woodland. The main house extends to almost 14,500 sq ft and offers flexible family accommodation across multiple reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/family hub and an impressive library. The estate includes a lodge with a one-bedroom staff flat and additional games-room accommodation above, outbuildings, stables (currently used for storage) and an indoor swimming pool with adjoining pool house.
The property will appeal to large families, multigenerational households or buyers wanting an events/hospitality opportunity, offering many rooms with en suite facilities, balconies and extensive outdoor space. Practical benefits include garage parking, fast broadband for a rural location, no flood risk and low local crime. Commuters have access to Cowden station and the M25, while Tunbridge Wells and Edenbridge provide nearby amenities and schooling options.
Buyers should be aware this is a very large estate with correspondingly high running costs and maintenance responsibilities. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and underfloor heating arrangement, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The house was constructed in the late 1990s–early 2000s and has double glazing installed before 2002; some elements may require updating to suit modern standards. Mobile signal is average in this secluded hamlet setting.
Overall, Cansiron Wood offers rare scale, privacy and versatile outbuildings on a significant parcel of land. It suits purchasers prepared for the operational and upkeep demands of a large country estate and seeking a private rural lifestyle or a property with development/enterprise potential.
