Summary - CLAPHATCH FARM CLAPHATCH LANE WADHURST TN5 6HN
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Large period home with pool, tennis court and Bewl Water views.
Grade II listed seventeenth-century farmhouse (listed status restricts alterations)
Claphatch Farm is a substantial Grade II listed Sussex farmhouse dating from the 1600s, set in about 5.38 acres of well-kept grounds that gently slope to views over Bewl Water. The house extends to roughly 3,760 sq ft over three floors and balances formal reception rooms and informal family spaces. Period details including exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and bay seating give the house strong historic character. The bespoke kitchen/breakfast room with central island, electric AGA and pantry sits beside a guest wing suitable for staff or long-stay visitors.
The grounds are a major selling point: established specimen trees and landscaped lawns, heated swimming pool with pool house, full-sized tennis court, paddock, stable block with two loose boxes, gym, wine cellar and a covered double car port provide extensive leisure and storage options. The property offers privacy and rural tranquillity while remaining within driving distance of Wadhurst (4 miles) and rail links to London Bridge (approx. 55 minutes).
Important practical points are straightforward. Grade II listed status means any alterations will face statutory constraints and likely additional cost and lead time. Broadband speeds are very slow, and mobile signal is average — a material consideration for home-working or heavy streaming. The sale is freehold; further paddock (c. 3.15 acres) can be acquired separately. Overall, the house will suit buyers seeking a large, characterful country home with significant grounds and leisure facilities who accept the listed‑building limitations and rural connectivity trade-offs.
