Cottenden Farmhouse is a large, Grade II-listed 18th-century farmhouse set in 1.7 acres of landscaped grounds with far-reaching High Weald views. Carefully renovated, the house retains period features—sash windows, exposed beams, timber floorboards and elegant fireplaces—while providing spacious family living across almost 5,104 sq ft (approx. 4,000 sq ft of principal living). The well-equipped farmhouse kitchen, four reception rooms and a cellar add everyday practicality for family life and entertaining.
The gardens and grounds are a standout: formal lawns, a walled kitchen garden, two ponds, paddock, tennis court and multiple outbuildings including summer houses and a garden studio. Off-street parking and easy access to Stonegate station (around four minutes by car) make commuting feasible while preserving a peaceful rural setting within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Important practical points are stated plainly. The property’s Grade II listing will limit alterations and may cause additional consent requirements and costs. Council Tax is high (Band H) and broadband speeds are average — important for anyone needing intensive home working. The house is freehold, newly renovated internally, and presents a rare opportunity for a family seeking a character home with substantial private grounds and recreational facilities.
