Description - Woodreeves house is approached along a private driveway and bridle path and situated in a quiet position well away from the road and immediately adjoining the beautiful Bedgebury forest and pinetum. The original cottage is thought to be about 300 years old and has, in past years, been considerably extended and improved. The property is traditionally built of brick beneath Kentish peg tiled roof, the house has a number of excellent features including a fine drawing room with inglenook fireplace, brick and Yorkstone flooring, replacement double glazing and central heating.

The village benefits from a good selection of local shops and facilities, whilst the nearby historic towns of Cranbrook, Tenterden and Royal Tunbridge Wells provide a wider range of shops, restaurants and banking facilities. Hawkhurst and the surrounding area benefit from many prestigious private schools, including Marlborough House, St. Ronan’s, Dulwich Prep, Bethany, Vine Hall, Benenden and Cranbrook School. The nearest mainline railway station is in Etchingham (some 10 minutes away), from which fast and frequent services to London Bridge, Charing Cross and Cannon Street run. Staplehurst mainline station also provides trains to London as well as connections to Gatwick and Ashford International station. From the property there is a lovely 30 minute (approx.) walk to Bodiam Castle through the countryside with virtually no roads.
