Summary - Hollow Wall Farmhouse, Rock Hill, Staplecross TN32 5RL
4 bed 2 bath Equestrian Facility
Picturesque farmhouse with arena and nearly eight acres for active equestrian use.
Circa 1850 unlisted Sussex farmhouse with period features
Set well back from the lane in an elevated rural position, Hollow Wall Farmhouse offers an authentic mid‑19th‑century Sussex farmhouse combined with substantial equestrian facilities and nearly 8 acres (to be verified) of pasture. The house retains period character — exposed brick, original fireplaces and high ceilings — while providing versatile family accommodation across three floors, including a lower‑ground room that suits a home office or children's den.
The equestrian setup is a clear strength: a post‑and‑railed 20m x 35m manege, six loose boxes, tack/hay barn, workshop and mains water to paddocks. A gated gravel drive opens to generous parking sufficient for horsebox and trailers, and post‑and‑rail fencing subdivides the paddocks for practical grazing and turnout. The village location gives countryside privacy yet remains close to a school, shop, pub and Robertsbridge rail links to London.
Buyers should note some immediate maintenance needs. The stable block requires repair; parts are timber on concrete/chalk base with corrugated roofing. The farmhouse sits on solid brick walls with assumed no insulation and uses oil‑fired heating, which is increasingly costly and may need upgrading. Private drainage and an EPC rating of E reflect expected running and improvement costs.
This property will suit equestrian families or buyers seeking a smallholding with development potential in the buildings and grounds. It offers a rare combination of usable grazing, a sizeable manege and practical yard layout — good for private livery, working stock or a family with multiple horses — but buyers should budget for stable repairs, energy improvements and verification of the exact acreage and titles before purchase.
