Furnace Farm House is believed to date from around 1500, full of an abundance of character and original features throughout the property that would be expected of a home from this era. The farmhouse is approached via a long private unmade track to arrive at the most peaceful of locations nestled within the weald countryside adjacent to Bedgebury Forest.
The accommodation is set across two floors and comprises of kitchen with adjacent pantry, dining room, sitting room, utility and boot room to the ground floor, with four double bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom, and a family bathroom on the first floor. There is also a large attic space, which subject to any necessary planning consent(s) could offer additional accommodation.
Furnace Farm House is unique in that it is off grid for its electricity, heating and hot water. A diesel generator with back-up battery is in situ for the supply of electricity and the heating and hot water are via oil fired central heating. The property is also on private drainage.
The property is accompanied by gardens of about 0.4 acres which are mainly laid to lawn with flowering borders and an array of shrubs and mature trees.
- Entrance hall with door leading to
- Spacious sitting room with double aspect windows and large inglenook fireplace with wood burner
- Kitchen/breakfast room with a good selection of wall and base units, a central island with space for informal dining, stone flooring, door to pantry storage and stable door for accessing the rear garden
- Second reception room adjacent to the kitchen which could be utilised as a more formal dining room (previously used as a home office as is fitted with extensive book casing)
- Utility complete with cloakroom
- First floor master bedroom and en suite bathroom with traditional style claw foot bath, walk in shower and vanity basin
- Three further double bedrooms, one with an expanse of built-in shelving
- Family bathroom with bath, pedestal basin and WC
- Large attic space providing ample storage space
