Summary - Wayward Field, Parrock Lane, Upper Hartfield TN7 4AS
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Substantial land, stables and character for buyers seeking rural living and refurbishment potential.
Large period cottage with exposed beams and original features
Wayward Field is a characterful detached cottage dating in part from the 1600s, set within approximately 12–13 acres of grazing and woodland. Exposed beams, brickwork and large double-aspect reception rooms give immediate period charm and flexible family living. The house includes a large kitchen/diner, multiple bedrooms across split levels, a mezzanine and generous built-in storage.
The plot is a major asset: five stables, a tack room and two powered outbuildings (studio/workshop and home office) support equestrian use or small-scale rural enterprise. A paved patio, wraparound garden and long private driveway reinforce privacy and country living, with Ashdown Forest and countryside trails nearby.
Practical drawbacks are significant and disclosed plainly. Heating is via electric room heaters and the property appears to have a timber frame with no installed insulation (assumed), so upgrading heating, insulation and possibly wiring should be budgeted for. Broadband is slow and mobile signal average; these factors affect remote working and connectivity. The quoted 12–13 acre figure is unverified and should be confirmed by purchase checks.
This home will suit buyers seeking a period country cottage with equestrian potential and scope for sensitive refurbishment. It offers immediate charm and substantial land, but requires investment to improve energy efficiency, services and modern comforts.
