Set on about 2.25 acres in a peaceful lane near Wadhurst, this five-bedroom detached house combines classic thatched-cottage charm with spacious, versatile accommodation. Generously proportioned reception rooms, exposed beams and a central brick ‘beehive’ fireplace create a warm, characterful home suited to family life and entertaining. The grounds are a standout feature — sweeping lawns, mature planting, excellent privacy and a tennis court.
The well-equipped kitchen leads to useful utility and boot rooms with direct garden access, while the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite. There are two further bathrooms plus a separate WC; two bedrooms interconnect and could be used flexibly for family or guest arrangements. An integral double garage and ample off-road parking add convenience for multiple vehicles.
Practical considerations are set out plainly: the property currently has a thatched roof but is not listed, and replacement with tiles is possible — quotes are on file. Heating is supplied by an oil-fired boiler with underfloor heating in places, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors should be weighed alongside the property’s size, plot and location.
Positioned close to Wadhurst village amenities and the mainline station (about a five-minute drive), the house offers easy access to good local schools and Tunbridge Wells. It will suit buyers seeking a substantial country family home with character and generous grounds, and those willing to manage heritage maintenance and running costs.
