Set in total seclusion adjacent to Bedgebury Forest, Furnace Farm House is a historic 1500s listed farmhouse offering generous, characterful living across two floors. The double-aspect sitting room with inglenook, exposed oak timbers throughout and a bespoke kitchen provide strong period appeal for families seeking space and privacy. The grounds extend to around half an acre with paved patios, level lawns and mature planting, plus parking for several vehicles via a private driveway.
Practicalities are straightforward but specific: the house is off-grid for electricity (diesel generator with backup battery in situ) and uses oil-fired central heating and private drainage. The property is chain-free and includes a substantial attic with scope for conversion subject to listed-building consents. Cranbrook School catchment and several well-regarded local schools give the location family appeal.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is listed (works will need consent), has very slow broadband, an unmade private access track of about 1.25 miles, and an EPC band E. There is a high flood risk for the area, council tax band is high, and the farmhouse will need sympathetic maintenance and modernization in places. For those seeking an authentic period home with scope to improve, this is a rare, secluded opportunity.
