7 bed detached house for sale

Northiam, Sussex TN31

Set along a quiet no through lane in the heart of the High Weald, Crockers Farmhouse is a beautifully remodelled country home enjoying far reaching views across its own gardens and grounds to the surrounding countryside beyond. Unlisted and wonderfully proportioned, the house extends to more than 5,000 sq ft of accommodation, complemented by a detached annexe and approximately 3.65 acres of idyllic grounds.

The current owners have thoughtfully reconfigured and enhanced the property to create a home that feels both substantial and welcoming. Limestone flooring, oak joinery and underfloor heating run throughout much of the ground floor, while large windows and carefully positioned bi-fold doors ensure the landscape beyond remains a constant backdrop to daily life.

At the centre of the house, the kitchen and breakfast room has been positioned to make the most of the spectacular views, with wide bi-fold doors opening directly onto the terrace. Designed as a sociable and practical space for modern family living, it flows naturally into the surrounding reception rooms. The triple aspect drawing room is particularly impressive, with exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove creating a warm and characterful setting throughout the year.

The accommodation offers remarkable flexibility. In addition to the principal reception spaces, a separate staircase rising from the dining room leads to a generous games room, bedroom and en suite, creating an ideal guest suite, independent space for older children or a dedicated area for multi generational living. Across the upper floors are six further bedrooms, the majority with en suite bath or shower rooms. Occupying the top floor, the principal suite enjoys elevated views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, together with a beautifully appointed bathroom and extensive storage.

Complementing the main house is a detached annexe offering independent accommodation with an open plan kitchen and living space, shower room and first floor bedroom. Equally suited to guests, extended family, home working or income generation, it adds a further layer of versatility to an already impressive home.

Outside, the setting is exceptional. An in and out gravel driveway approaches the house and provides extensive parking alongside an integral double garage. The beautifully established gardens wrap around the property and extend to approximately 3.65 acres, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. A pond, decked seating area and expansive terrace provide perfect places from which to enjoy the uninterrupted rural views, while the surrounding grounds offer endless opportunities for family life, entertaining and recreation.

Despite its peaceful setting, Crockers Farmhouse remains conveniently positioned for Northiam, Tenterden, Rye and Hawkhurst, with an excellent selection of schools nearby and fast rail services to London available from Staplehurst, Etchingham and Ashford International.
