Wyck Cottage is a newly refurbished Grade II listed country home dating from the 1600s, set in about 0.71 acres of mature, planted gardens on the rural outskirts of Wadhurst. The house retains strong period character — exposed beams, wood floors and open fireplaces — and has been sympathetically updated to provide comfortable family living across approximately 2,270 sq ft.
A standout feature is the adjacent Grade I listed, two‑storey oast house which remains unconverted but offers clear potential. Planning permission to create an annex previously existed but has lapsed; it may be possible to reinstate or replace that permission subject to listed‑building and planning constraints. The main house’s kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, vaulted garden dining room and generous reception spaces suit entertaining and family life.
Practical points are important: the property is listed, so alterations will be constrained and may require specialist consents; walls are likely solid brick with no cavity insulation; heating is by oil‑fired boiler and radiators; and council tax is described as quite expensive. The oast conversion would need formal approvals, and ongoing maintenance of historic fabric and the large gardens should be budgeted for.
Overall this is a characterful family home for buyers who value historic charm, generous outside space and proximity to excellent local facilities in Wadhurst and Tunbridge Wells. It will particularly suit someone comfortable managing listed‑building responsibilities or seeking a project to unlock the oast house potential.
