Honeys Green Farmhouse is an evocative Grade II listed 16th‑century farmhouse set in about 1.58 acres of established gardens, paddock and woodland. The house displays abundant period detail — exposed beams, latticed casements, inglenook fireplace and high ceilings — combined with practical upgrades such as a bespoke farmhouse kitchen, refitted boot room and fibre broadband. A detached one‑bed annexe and oak‑framed triple garage with a large studio above add flexible accommodation and workspace.
The south‑west facing terrace and heated outdoor pool create a strong entertaining axis, while formal lawns, orchard, pond and paddock provide generous outdoor space for family life, small‑scale equestrian or productive gardening. Driveway parking for several cars and an electronically operated gate offer privacy and convenience; Uckfield is three miles away with rail links to London.
Important practical points are clear and factual. The property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance. Heating is oil‑fired with some underfloor heating; drainage is private via a septic tank. The EPC is low (F), so buyers should budget for energy improvements. There is a public footpath crossing the northern boundary and a right of access over the private lane, with ad hoc contribution to gate maintenance.
This home suits a buyer seeking character, space and countryside privacy who is comfortable managing an historic property and its running costs. The annexe and separate studio offer rental or home‑office potential, while the extensive grounds and outbuildings present further possibilities for hobby farming, leisure or small business uses.
