Elegant period home offering versatile family living and stunning views
Description
Oak House is a beautifully presented, unlisted period property dating back to 1867, offering exceptional flexibility for family living in a highly desirable location. Nestled on the edge of Bedgebury Forest, this charming home combines historic character with contemporary convenience, set within 1.56 acres of stunning grounds.
Positioned in the peaceful rural hamlet of Trenley Farm (6 properties), Oak House enjoys far-reaching views while remaining just 2.6 miles from Cranbrook and 2.8 miles from Hawkhurst, ensuring excellent access to local amenities.
Inside, the heart of the home is a spacious, light-filled kitchen and dining area, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Two sets of double doors open onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen features an oil-fired Aga, integrated electric double oven, hob, hot water tap, wine fridge, and dishwasher, complemented by a dining space with panoramic views of the garden and countryside beyond.
The living spaces are equally inviting. A double-aspect sitting room offers warmth and comfort with a wood-burning stove and traditional shutters, while the elegant drawing room provides a second relaxing retreat. A generous study and a large hall with its own wood-burner complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the impressive principal suite boasts triple-aspect views, an en-suite shower room with underfloor heating, built-in wardrobes, and a picture window framing the spectacular scenery. Three further bedrooms include one with an en-suite, alongside a family bathroom.
Oak House also offers exceptional versatility with two ancillary accommodations, ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.
The first is an integral part of the main house and includes a spacious living room with garden access, a utility area, shower room, and loft-style bedroom. The second is a self-contained two-bedroom annex with its own entrance, cloakroom, and a flexible lower-floor space currently used as a gym.
The property enjoys a right of way from the lane across the neighbour’s driveway, leading to Oak House's private driveway with ample parking for several cars on a generous gravel drive. The grounds include beautifully maintained gardens with mature trees, a generous terrace, and direct access to Bedgebury Forest. This idyllic setting combines rural tranquillity with convenience, making Oak House a truly unique opportunity.
Location
Oak House is situated on the outskirts of the pretty and sought-after town of Cranbrook which provides good local shopping and leisure facilities whilst more extensive shopping, sport and leisure facilities can be found in Hawkhurst, Tenterden and Tunbridge Wells.

Independent options include Dulwich Prep, Saint Ronan’s, Marlborough House Vinehall, Sutton Valence, Tonbridge, Benenden and Bethany.
Mainline rail services run from Staplehurst with journeys to London Bridge in under an hour (approx. 8.6 miles away).
The M25 via the A21 can be accessed at J5 and the M20 via J8 both providing links to Gatwick and Heathrow airport and other motorway networks.
