This striking 16th-century Grade II listed Wealden Hall House sits on nearly half an acre, bordered by 700 acres of protected Woodland Trust land. The home combines historic character — exposed beams, herringbone parquet and an inglenook fireplace with log burner — with practical family spaces including a large kitchen/dining room with an Aga, a cellar, and formal and informal reception rooms.
Accommodation spans three floors with six bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a vaulted principal bedroom with an en-suite roll-top bath. A separate powered brick outbuilding provides a convenient home office or studio, while gated parking, a garage and sweeping driveway give secure vehicle access. Established gardens with a greenhouse, BBQ house and fruit trees offer private outdoor living and entertaining space.
Important practical points are clear: the Grade II listing will affect alterations and may complicate maintenance and permissions. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average. Council tax is high and the wider area records higher crime and local deprivation indices; the semi-rural hamlet location also means limited immediate services, although nearby villages provide schools and a pub.
For a family seeking a characterful countryside home with space to grow, or buyers looking for a heritage property with potential, this is a rare offering. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the craftsmanship and the setting, but purchasers should budget for listed‑building upkeep and factor modern connectivity limitations into plans.
