Wealden
This attractive period farmhouse has been subject to a comprehensive programme of extension and improvement and the result is very successful indeed, blending the contemporary with the traditional. The heart of the house is the beautiful kitchen with a central island, Shaker style units under a wooden work surface, and a light and airy dining and living area with doors opening to the rear decked terrace. Adjacent is the garden room with vaulted ceiling, exposed oak timbers and French doors to a side terrace.
The sitting room is well proportioned with exposed wooden floorboards and a fireplace complete with wood burner providing a focal point to the room. There is a further downstairs reception room which would function well as a dining room or as a fifth bedroom (as it is served by a shower room en suite). The entrance hall is a welcoming space with a distinctive Crittal style glazed wall and door to the well-equipped utility / boot room.
Upstairs the master bedroom has vaulted ceiling and a smart shower room en suite. There are three further bedrooms, and these share the family bathroom complete with freestanding bath.
Outside
The property is approached from the lane via a gravel drive with ample off-road parking. In front of you is the oak frame barn and the Colt Bungalow. The bungalow has been insulated and double glazed and is currently configured as a home office with kitchen and cloakroom. There is planning permission to convert this building to a holiday let.
There is planning permission to erect a cart lodge to one side of the drive.

The gardens at Wealden are a particular feature with much to explore. There are carefully planted beds, a kitchen garden, areas of lawn, an orchard, a pretty duck pond and many mature trees and shrubs. There are several places to sit and enjoy the garden including a decked terrace overlooking the duck pond. To the rear of the garden is the Summer House with light and power offering a number of uses.
Adjacent to the garden is the paddock which has a separate entrance from the lane.
