Huggits Farm is a beautifully positioned Grade II Listed five bedroom farmhouse, set in just under an acre on high ground in the sought after village of Stone in Oxney, with spectacular far reaching views across olive groves and vineyards towards Romney Marsh and the coast.
Rich in period character, the house has a wonderfully relaxed feel, with exposed beams and timber framing, flagstone and timber floors and a series of impressive inglenook fireplaces. The principal reception rooms include a generous drawing room, study and a particularly atmospheric dining/family room with vaulted ceiling and wood burning stove.
The bespoke kitchen, handmade by Schofield & Crafter of Tunbridge Wells, is beautifully considered, with hand painted cabinetry, Corian worktops and a window seat positioned to take in the remarkable views. A rear lobby opens directly onto a walled terrace and garden, while a cellar provides useful gym and utility space.
Across the upper floors are five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom has built in wardrobes, a wood burning stove and wonderful southerly views, together with an en suite bathroom with freestanding roll top bath. Two further bedrooms and the family bathroom occupy the first floor, with two charming attic bedrooms above, both enjoying elevated views from their dormer windows.
Outside, Huggits Farm is approached through double gates onto a gravel driveway with generous parking and a detached double garage. The established gardens extend to just under an acre, with sweeping lawns, mature planting, an orchard, natural pond and sheltered brick terrace, together with a collection of useful outbuildings.
Planning permission was granted in 2022 ([hidden information]/00597/AS) for the replacement of the existing garage with a substantial detached outbuilding incorporating an olive press, garage, utility, workshop and office, offering an exciting opportunity to further develop the ancillary space.
Stone in Oxney is a small and particularly attractive village surrounded by the open landscape of the High Weald, with its own church, village hall, cricket ground and the much loved Ferry Inn. Tenterden is approximately six miles to the north, with its excellent independent shops, cafés, restaurants and Waitrose, while historic Rye lies a similar distance to the south. Appledore and Rye provide rail connections to Ashford International, from where high speed services reach London St Pancras in around 37 minutes. The area is also well served for schools, with local primary options and a strong selection of highly regarded independent schools across Kent and East Sussex.
A wonderfully characterful country house in an exceptional elevated setting, combining the charm of a historic Kent farmhouse with some of the finest views across Romney Marsh.
