Grade II Listed Farmhouse with spectacular panoramic views and some 16 acres in the High Weald Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Description
Pound Farm is a highly attractive Grade II Listed farmhouse, steeped in local history, believed to date back to the 15th Century, occupying an elevated position with a sizeable land holding of approximately 16 acres and enjoying spectacular panoramic and far-reaching views to the south-east in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The farmhouse enjoys a wealth of period features including exposed beams, latched wooden doors, a bread oven which is found within the sitting room and the charming gabled porch and matching gabled dormers with striking cusped fascias.
Pound Farm enjoys a flexible ground floor layout; the pretty farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room with brick paved floor and door opening onto the formal rear garden, has an attractive bespoke joinery with both base and wall units providing good storage and preparation space, with outlook over the front and rear gardens; an oil-fired Ray-burn oven is nestled into a feature fireplace, which powers the central heating and hot water system. There is ample space for more informal dining.
The dual aspect formal dining room enjoys an impressive feature fireplace with log burner and rustic flagstone flooring. The flooring continues through to the welcoming sitting room with feature fireplace and log burner and the original bread oven, the sitting room also enjoys direct access onto the rear garden. A study and w.c. complete this floor.
The first floor is home to the sizeable principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling and adjoining well-appointed bathroom; the second bedroom has an en suite shower room, there are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside: Pound Farm is approached via a sweeping driveway (a small section of which is shared at the roadside with neighbour Tibs Barn), the driveway leads up to parking area and the detached garage block with bank of 16 solar panels on the roof, workshop and potting shed.
The farmhouse has a manageable, well-established formal garden with a sheltered paved terrace that is ideal for child's play and outdoor entertaining, just beyond this there is a hidden vegetable patch (currently unused) whilst an orchard sits to the side of the house with a range of productive fruit trees. With some 16 acres in total, Pound Farm enjoys some truly exceptional countryside views.
Services: Mains Electricity and Water. Oil fired central heating and Private Drainage.
