Cottage Farm is a substantial six-bedroom period home set in about 5.5 acres, offering panoramic rural views and versatile living across converted barn and original cottage. The property suits multi-generational families or buyers seeking income potential via holiday lets or Airbnb, thanks to separate access points, ample parking and distinct living sections.
Key on-site assets include a substantial Scandinavian log cabin with shower room and sauna, two useful outbuildings with power and water, and two grass paddocks with gated access to local bridleways — attractive for equestrian use. The cottage was re-roofed in 2025; the attached barn conversion (c.2015) benefits from underfloor heating and sealed-unit double glazing.
Practical considerations are straightforward: heating is oil-fired to the cottage and the property has cavity walls assumed uninsulated, so energy upgrades could be worthwhile. There are six bedrooms but only two bathrooms overall, and broadband speeds are average. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and ongoing maintenance of a large plot should be expected.
Positioned on the edge of Broad Oak with Stonegate station about 3.5 miles and Heathfield town centre 3.2 miles, the house combines rural tranquillity with reasonable commuter links and access to several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. For buyers wanting space, character and flexible use, this offers rare scope; for those prioritising modern running costs, some improvements will be needed.
