Description
Situated in a High Weald Area of Outstand Natural Beauty just over 2.5 miles to the south west of Robertsbridge lies Swallowfield Farm, an excellent equestrian property comprising a beautifully presented Grade II listed family home, attractive gardens, stables and land extending to in all about 9.4 acres. Enjoying lovely southerly views this beautifully presented family home has been sympathetically restored over the years by the current owners, retaining a wealth of charm and character and offering versatile accommodation amounting to in excess of 2,600 sq ft, arranged over two floors.
Ground floor accommodation comprises a pretty entrance hall with old polished brick flooring, two reception rooms; a dual aspect family room with painted panelling and a Nordpeis wood burning stove and a lovely sitting room, also with a dual aspect, leaded light windows and an inglenook fireplace with old bread ovens in situ. A part vaulted study/snug with a multi fuel stove has stairs leading to the first floor and links through to the excellent kitchen/breakfast room.
The kitchen/breakfast/garden room with mellow terracotta floor tiles offers an excellent open plan area with two sets of French doors opening to the terrace and garden. It is comprehensively fitted with a range of hand painted cupboards complemented by slate worksurfaces. Appliances comprise an oil fired four oven Aga and a four ring Neff hob with space for further appliances. From the family room accessed via the side hall is a utility room with fitted cupboards and a WC.
An oak staircase leads to the first floor where there are four attractive bedrooms, an en suite bathroom and a Jack and Jill bathroom.
Swallowfield Farm is approached via wooden gates which open to a wide gravel driveway leading to a substantial parking and turning area and the stable yard. Attractive established gardens are interspersed by an array of specimen and mature shrub borders and ancient trees, and feature a pond and a southerly facing terrace and hedge enclosed kitchen garden.
Of further note are the excellent equestrian facilities, which comprise a hardstanding yard with three stables, tack and feed room with hot horse shower, hay store and mower store. There are two fenced fields which are down to grazing with water connected and hedge enclosed. In one of the fields there is a 40ft x 20ft sand school with all weather rubber surface and access track.
