Pyle Gate Farmhouse is a spacious, Grade II listed family home set on the edge of Cowden with far-reaching countryside views. The house retains strong period character — inglenook fireplaces, sash windows and box shutters — and offers generously proportioned reception rooms, a farmhouse kitchen with an AGA and a large utility/boot room that suits busy family life.
The property sits in a very large, partly walled garden with an apple orchard, tree house and terraced rear lawn. A gated gravel drive provides plentiful parking and a substantial timber double garage with power, lighting and mezzanine storage. Several brick and timber outbuildings offer useful storage and potential alternative uses subject to planning consent.
Practical points to note: the house is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate adaptation or extension. Services are connected but untested: drainage is to a private shared system and heating is oil-fired. The property is sold freehold with no onward chain, but the EPC is exempt and Council Tax is Band G which is comparatively high.
Located within the High Weald National Landscape, the home is semi-rural yet within reach of local amenities. Cowden station is about a 15-minute walk via woodland path with direct trains to London; schools and clubs in the wider area include a mix of state and independent options. This is a personality-rich home for a family who value historic charm, outdoor space and countryside living, and who are comfortable with the practical realities of owning a listed rural property.
