Manor Farm Stud is a substantial detached five-bedroom farmhouse set at the end of a private drive, offering immediate residential use plus strong development and income potential. The main house includes an attached two-bedroom holiday cottage currently let, two Shepherd huts generating additional income, and excellent equestrian infrastructure including stables and an all‑weather ménage. Extensive planning permission is already granted to convert the two attached wings and two detached outbuildings into six single‑storey dwellings, offering a clear route to create multiple units or to reapply for holiday‑let consent instead.
The holding sits within what is described as approximately 15 acres of grazing meadows and benefits from a large gravel courtyard, ample parking and peaceful rural views. Transport links are good for the area: Frant station and Tunbridge Wells are a short drive away, making the site attractive to commuter buyers and short‑stay visitors. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and local services are average, set within a very affluent, low‑deprivation area.
Buyers should note material points: the main house currently has an EPC rating of F (with potential to improve to D), heating is oil‑fired via boiler and radiators, and the buildings include timber framing assumed to lack insulation. Council tax is described as expensive. The planning permissions are a major asset but conversions will require capital, compliance with conditions and possible reapplication for alternative uses.
This property will suit investors or owner‑occupiers seeking an equestrian or countryside base with clear development upside. It offers immediate rental income and multiple options to increase value through conversion, refurbishment or continued holiday‑let operation, balanced against running costs and works to upgrade fabric and services.
