This Grade II Listed Wealden Estate comprising a predominantly 17th century farmhouse, an oast offering ancillary accommodation and a tithe barn occupy a stunning rural location on the edge of Sissinghurst and Cranbrook. The farmhouse consists of a reception and inner hall, a drawing room with fireplace, a double aspect family room, a dining room, a study, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room and a cloakroom on the ground floor. On the first floor is a master bedroom with ensuite bath and shower room, two further double bedrooms, one with ensuite, a separate w.c., two store rooms and a linen cupboard. On the second floor there are a further two bedrooms both with ensuite bath or shower room. The farmhouse sits in manicured gardens and has planning consent for an extension for a first floor bedroom and bathroom and a ground floor open plan kitchen/orangery/family room with deck over the moat. The single kiln roundel oast sits in its own gardens and consists of four bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate w.c. on the ground floor. On the first floor the triple aspect, open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room takes advantage of the views over the grounds with a bedroom and ensuite shower room in the roundel. Outside, a lane leads to the estate, with gates opening onto a gravelled parking area. The lawns are interspersed with a number of specimen trees and flower and shrub beds. A wisteria and rose clad pergola walkway and a natural pond are a haven for wildlife. The gardens are surrounded by a number of fenced paddocks and ancient woodland with grounds totalling approx. 33.5 acres. There is also a floodlight tennis court and pavilion bordered with evergreen hedging. The tithe barn believed to date back to at least the 16th century houses a heated swimming pool with changing and shower room and w.c. A mezzanine floor provides a studio/gallery. There is a detached four bay garage with automatic doors and more garaging within the barn. A stable provides garden storage.

   

The estate is located on the outskirts of the popular village of Sissinghurst with its village store, restaurants, cricket club, church, primary school, and Castle Gardens and the much sought after town of Cranbrook, one of the most picturesque small towns in the Weald, renowned for its eclectic mix of shops, cafe's, restaurants, boutiques etc. Dominating the town is the stone church known locally as "The Cathedral of the Weald". A variety of social clubs offer a range of interesting activities. In addition to Cranbrook School, there are other excellent schools in the area, namely Bethany, Benenden School, Marlborough House, St Ronans, Angley and Dulwich Prep School.
