Hobbs Lane, Beckley, Rye, East Sussex, TN31

This unlisted oast house is such a rare find, retaining its original hop press, a wonderful self contained annexe and a surprising train track encircling the ensuite within the oast -- Sarah Holgate, Associate Director.

#TheGardenOfEngland

A unique unlisted converted single oast house with original hop press, set in pretty gardens of about 0.39 acres, with triple garage, large workshop and self contained annexe (great Airbnb potential). Located in a semi-rural position, within the High Weald National Landscape/Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

No onward chain

Located in an attractive semi rural location about 0.7 miles from Beckley village. Beckley is a small quaint village in East Sussex, known for its rural charm and friendly community. It has a primary school, a village hall, and a local pub, serving as key amenities for residents. There is easy access to Tenterden and Sandhurst to the north and Rye and Hastings to the south east and south.


This is a rather special unlisted converted single oast house which unusually retains all of the original hop press. Today the property offers flexible accommodation over 3 floors and enjoys the benefit of a separate one storey one bedroom annexe over the triple garaging, ideal for dual family living.
On the ground floor there is an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and cloakroom. The kitchen/breakfast room is located in the roundel and is well equipped with bespoken kitchen units with solid granite worksurface over and an Aga. There is space for a table and chairs within the kitchen area and a stable door onto the garden. The sitting/dining room is a very generous room with corner wood burning stove and double doors opening into the wonderful conservatory, a lovely space to sit and enjoy the nature in the garden. Upstairs you can see the hop press from the hallway to the landing area which doesn’t take up any space but makes for an interesting feature. There are five bedrooms, three are doubles and two singles (one is used as a study but could make a single bedroom). There are plenty of storage cupboards and a family bathroom with bath, w/c and wash basin. From the roundel bedroom, there are stairs to the ensuite bathroom which has been fitted with a shower cubicle, bath, w/c and vanity unit, but the most interesting feature has to be the fitted train track which cleverly goes around the roundel.
There are some lovely views over the garden and surrounding area from the windows. The property is considered in good order throughout and early viewing is highly recommended.
Gardens/Outside (about 0.39 acres)
The gardens would suit any budding gardener being well established with borders stocked full of pretty plants, flowers and shrubs. The property is set down a quiet lane and has a triple garage with wooden doors and light and power. The workshop, which used to be the old forge, is beside the garage and has light and power with an attached store/office. The one bedroom annexe is above this and is a perfect Airbnb opportunity. It has a double bedroom with storage, shower room, and open plan kitchen/living area. There is a driveway to the side of the property with gated access which leads to the property and provides off road parking for several cars. There is an area of lawn and a path leading from the annexe to the main house, together with a decked seating area. The rear garden has lawned areas with pretty borders, established trees, a pond and a lovely patio seating area. To the rear of the garden is what used to be the productive vegetable plot with a greenhouse and two useful garden sheds. The gardens enjoy a south westerly aspect and are private and a peaceful haven.
