An exceptionally pretty Grade II listed 4-bedroom detached cottage set in just under 1.25 acres of mature gardens and adjoining countryside. The house combines historic charm — exposed beams, arched windows and an impressive galleried reception room — with generous living space across about 2,267 sq ft, plus a separate studio/office with shower room.
The setting is a key draw: secluded rural position off a small lane, south/east boundaries bordered by a stream and open fields beyond. A sweeping drive provides plentiful parking and easy pedestrian access to Wadhurst station (about 1.25 miles), making commuting to London practical while retaining a tranquil country lifestyle.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important to note. The property uses oil-fired heating and private drainage, is EPC exempt, and lies within a high council tax band (G). As a Grade II listed building, any significant alterations or extensions will be restricted and require listed-building consents — this will affect refurbishment plans and costs. The house has been lovingly maintained by long-term owners but would benefit from targeted modernisation and energy-efficiency upgrades.
This home will suit buyers seeking character and space — families wanting substantial gardens and countryside access, buyers needing a home office/studio, or purchasers prepared to manage the responsibilities of a listed rural property.
