5 bedroom house

LOCATION

Field Farm is situated in a picturesque and rural location on the outskirts of Iden Green, near the

village of Benenden, which is approximately 1.4 miles to the north east. More extensive facilities and amenities can be found in the towns of Cranbrook and Tunbridge Wells (3.8 and 17.8 miles distant respectively). The mainline railway station at Staplehurst (9 miles) provides regular and direct services into London and Ashford.



DESCRIPTION

Field Farm, which has been within the same family for more than forty years, is set along a privately owned driveway and comprises a five bedroom farmhouse that is well positioned within

approximately 46.5 acres of ring-fenced traditional Wealden farmland.



THE FARMHOUSE

According to Historic England, the Grade II Listed farmhouse was probably a late Medieval Hall-House that was re-fronted in the early nineteenth century.



Subsequent alterations and extensions have created what is now a most charming property that has, despite a wonderful wealth of exposed timbers, good ceiling heights. The accommodation, which benefits from oil-fired central heating, briefly comprises:



GROUND FLOOR

Entrance Hall with exposed tiled floor and a Cloakroom/Boot Room off.



Drawing Room with double aspect, a concave inglenook fireplace with a stone hearth, Bressumer

beam, and an adjacent storage cupboard.



Dining Room with inglenook fireplace with a stone hearth, Bressumer beam and an adjacent storage cupboard.



Sitting Room with double aspect, exposed wall timbers, and double doors leading to Study.



Study with built-in storage cupboards, double doors to Sitting Room, and glazed double doors to outside.



Kitchen/ Breakfast Room with double aspect and exposed tiled floor. Bespoke wooden kitchen units with tiled worktops, inset stone sink, integral electric oven and built-in space for microwave oven. Oil-fired AGA and adjacent electric hob set into brick alcove. Space for fridge and plumbing for dishwasher. Glazed double doors to outside.



Utility Room with continuation of exposed tiled floor from kitchen. Alcove space for upright freezer, built-in laundry cupboard and 'Grant' oil-fired boiler. Doors lead from the Inner Hallway to the First Floor, and down to the Cellar with tiled floor and wine racking.

OUTSIDE

The farmhouse is surrounded by the most delightful gardens that have been lovingly created over the last forty years.



In addition to areas of lawn, interspersed with flower beds, shrubs and specimen trees, there is a hedge-enclosed 'secret' garden, a Nuttery planted with Kentish Cobnut trees, a fruit orchard and Hornbeam hedge-lined avenues.



The gardens also benefit from a natural pond and a secluded Tennis Court.

THE THRESHING BARN

Located to the north east of the farmhouse, there is an impressive and unconverted timber-framed, fully enclosed, former threshing barn with an adjacent Swimming Pool that is heated by a combination of an oil-fired boiler and solar panels.

The ring-fenced parcel of farmland is divided into traditional hedge/fence-enclosed pasture fields,

interspersed with small woodland shaws, and partially dissected by two old Roman roads.
