Situated within over 27 acres and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is Waters End Farm House. This Wealden-style farmhouse, built in 2006, has all the classic medieval features of the period including a Crown post roof structure and impressive oak beams. It has a combination of timber frame, with exposed close-studding and plaster and brick elevations set under a Kent peg tiled roof.
The property is light and spacious with high ceilings which is unusual for a building of this style and has many features of interest including: traditional leaded windows, original oak planked flooring, a wealth of exposed timber beams and doors with Suffolk-style latches.

The kitchen/dining area has an impressive brick fireplace, with painted units with solid oak work surface that include a sink, Miele dishwasher, a de Dietrich oven and Lacanche range cooker that is fitted with an industrial style extractor unit.
