Hope Farm is a substantial, well-equipped equestrian estate on the rural outskirts of East Hoathly, arranged around a traditional stable yard with mature trees and a spring-fed pond. The main farmhouse (three/four bedrooms) and a sympathetically converted oast house (three bedrooms, converted 2002) provide flexible accommodation for multi-generational living or staff. The oast conversion benefits from oak floorboards, underfloor heating and an AGA; the farmhouse has character features including a Rayburn and wood-burning stoves.
The site is built for riding: a 100 x 80 ft indoor arena, an 80 x 40 ft outdoor arena, approximately 25 stables, separate barn buildings and six paddocks totalling about 15.421 acres of grazing. Practical features include ample yard hardstanding, a covered swimming pool, numerous outbuildings and good road access to the A22 while linking to local bridleways. Broadband is reported fast and there is no flood risk.
Buyers should note factual constraints: both houses use private drainage systems and a public footpath crosses the eastern boundary. The substantial buildings and farmstead may suit alternative uses, but any change of use would require the necessary planning consents. The size and range of buildings mean ongoing maintenance and management responsibilities — particularly for equestrian upkeep, outbuilding roofs and grounds.
This property will suit an active equestrian family or a buyer seeking an income-producing equestrian hub or rural investment who understands the operational and planning realities of running a large yard and estate.
