South Tythe Barn is a splendid Grade II Listed property occupying an historic building within Chestfield conservation area. History relates that South Tythe barn and its neighbour once formed one large ancient tythe barn on the site and that the buildings date back to the 17th - and possibly 15th - centuries. Altered over time and separated in the 1920s, South Tythe Barn provides a charming and spacious family home, full of character and interesting features.

The reception hall provides a particularly impressive welcome to the property with vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows and an owl loft, with a substantial staircase rising to a galleried landing. An ornate timber door opens to the extensive sitting room with beamed ceiling and an open fire. With panelling to one wall and large windows to the other, the room has plenty of light and a great deal of character.

A wide opening leads to the dining room which also has a fireplace and is double aspect with a charming window constructed from a heavy timber wagon wheel. A further reception room provides a comfortable snug which, depending on requirements, has also been used as a fourth bedroom. The generous kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of base and wall units with space for a large range cooker in the chimney breast; there is ample space for a large table. Adjacent is a useful utility area. There is a cloakroom in the hallway.

The first floor has two double bedrooms, including the generous principal bedroom, as well as a small study, a large family bathroom and a shower room. The second floor provides a further double bedroom with its own washbasin.
