Windmill Lane, Wadhurst, TN5

Coming to the market for the first time in over 40 years, and set in an enviable location with stunning far reaching views, this character property is believed to have started life as a barn conversion, together with the adjoining cottage. It was later significantly extended in the 1980s.

The well-presented home is entered via a porch, which opens through into a welcoming reception hall. The kitchen/breakfast room is located at the front of the house, to take full advantage of the outstanding views. It is fitted with base and wall units, along with an electric hob, oven, and space for an undermount fridge.

Just off of the kitchen is a spacious sitting room, featuring an open fire in a stone fireplace, and views out over the walled garden to the rear, with a door out to the same.

The 80s extension provided a light and spacious dining room, with an outlook over the rear garden and door through to the sitting room, as well as the reception hall, downstairs WC and utility room.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys lovely views over the rear garden and benefits from its own dressing room and en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom with airing cupboard, as well as a spacious landing, with room for a desk in front of the window to the front.

The gardens wrap around the house and include a South-East facing walled garden to the rear,  with colourful flower beds and a paved patio, and a gate leading through to a stretch of lawn down the side of the house with ornamental trees and shrubs around the perimeter and shed to the rear. A path leads around the house to the front  where there is a further stretch of lawn, from which you can enjoy the stunning views.

A tarmac driveway provides off-road parking and access to a long detached garage (space for a workshop/storage as well as a car).

The setting of the property is spectacular. It is located towards the end of a no through, private lane, with far-reaching views over the valley. Within half a mile of the house are local amenities in Durgates, including a convenience store, garage with further shop, hairdressers and the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Prep School.  A little further on is the local nursery and primary school (rated "good" by Ofsted in 2024) andanother convenience store. The centre of Wadhurst is about 1 mile from the property (or about ¾ of a mile by foot), which offers a wide range of amenities including cafes, a traditional butcher, pharmacy, post office facilities, secondary Academy with public gym and much more.

The rail station is about 1.2 miles away with services to Hastings and London (London Bridge in about 55 minutes). There is a bus service through Wadhurst and Durgates that serves the station, Tunbridge Wells and Hawkhurst. Tunbridge Wells is about a 15/20 minute drive away, offering a wide range of shopping and recreational facilities as well as well-regarded grammar schools.

The surrounding countryside is designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there are many miles of footpaths to enjoy through rolling countryside and woodland from Wadhurst. Bewl Water reservoir and Bedgebury Pinetum are  nearby attractions.

Wadhurst has a very friendly community spirit and there are many clubs and activities to get involved with should you so wish, including a community cinema, bonfire/fireworks night, monthly farmers' markets, sports and social clubs.
