A wonderfully situated, Grade II listed detached three bedroomed farmhouse with detached annexe, outbuildings, stabling and sand school set within 30 acres of pasture and woodland with a superb rural outlook is on the market with Samuel & Son.
In a superb rural situation within the High Weald AONB enjoying unspoilt views over surrounding countryside, Burnthouse Farm is a beautiful Grade II listed farmhouse of 16th century origin. The house offers a wealth of period charm and features, including exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and leaded light casement windows. The present owners have sympathetically extended and refurbished the property during their tenure to create a wonderful family home, notably with the addition of a sizeable oak framed extension to the rear of the house which has a vaulted ceiling and glazed sides providing a substantial family living/entertaining space with superb views over the farm land and beyond.
There is an excellent range of bespoke joinery and cabinetry throughout the property and a lovely combination of timber and stone flooring on the ground floor.
On the ground floor there are four reception rooms – notably a large sitting room, a family room with inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, a study and a more formal dining room.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms with a large master bedroom which has an extensive range of bespoke fitted furniture providing ample storage. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom which is well designed.
Set next to the farmhouse, the detached self-contained annexe offers 755 sq ft of accommodation which includes a large sitting room, a double bedroom, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom with separate shower and bath together with its own garden area and terrace.
Off a long private driveway is an expansive gravelled courtyard parking with the cart lodge-style garage having three open bays and a secure workshop/store.
The farmhouse is enveloped by gardens and grounds that have been attractively landscaped over the years.
The stabling, sand school and modern agricultural barn are situated to the east side of the house with separate vehicle access onto the land/track. A tarmac driveway leads to the farm barn 18.29m x 7.62m. There are four open fronted bays and one enclosed bay secured by a roller shutter door. The drive extends down to the stable yard where there is a traditional oak framed stable block comprising two loose boxes with the 40m x 20m sand school set in the adjoining field enclosed by post and rail fencing.
The land wraps around the farmhouse and comprises a number of pasture fields, all enclosed by post and rail fencing with interconnecting field gates and ideally suited to grazing. The pasture extends to about 14.33 acres with parcels of woodland totalling some 16.41 acres set mostly to the periphery of the property that provide excellent screening and privacy.
