Positioned in the middle of 60.22 acres of its own private land, Little Walstead Farm is believed to date back to the sixteenth century, offering prospective buyers a beautiful family home in a very private but accessible rural position.
The main farmhouse and annex, both with impressive timber frames, occupies about 3,221 sq ft, over three floors. The moment you walk through the front door, you are drawn to the fabulous period features in the entrance hall, then leading to the generous dining room and drawing room, both with stunning inglenook fireplaces, the drawing room having a woodburning stove and the dining room with beautiful wood panelling. The Kitchen/Breakfast room is positioned in the West of the house, previously adjoining to the annex, with wonderful views towards the lake and access to the Walled Garden to the rear of the property.
On the first floor, the period beams continue,
with three double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom suite and an additional family bathroom. Two further bedrooms and a storage room are located on the second floor.
The Annexe is the most recently updated accommodation within Little Walstead, having been used as a one bedroom AirBnB over the last few years.
There is an extensive range of outbuildings at
Little Walstead Farm, currently arranged to provide a first floor studio and a two storey flat, together with former office space, charming mid-century garaging, workshops, a former dairy building, Sussex barn and stabling. These buildings are bound to appeal to those seeking classic car storage, or commercial space, but also offer clear potential for further development or alternative uses including events space, equestrian use, or boutique accommodation, subject to obtaining all necessary consents.
The Coach House is set over 5,056 sq ft and has
been partially converted, with a three-bedroom flat on part of the ground and first floor, with office space occupying the remaining of the first floor. On the ground floor, The Coach House is currently used as secure garages, workshops, and storerooms.
The Sussex Barn is set over approximately 1,040
sq ft, including a mezzanine floor. Internally, the ceiling height and mezzanine floor has potential to create a fabulous entertaining space or equally a gorgeous wedding suite with an abundance of character (STPP).
The Stables are set across 1,212 sq ft, again with wonderful potential (STPP). Either to be used in their current form for equestrian use, or even as a spa retreat, food stalls for events etc.
A Former Cattle Court occupies 5,680 sq ft.
The perfect space for a car collection, wedding venue, event entertaining space or simply
storage.
Additionally, there are various other smaller outbuildings, many that are brick built, which are currently being used as a garden store, coal shed, potting shed, freezer room and stable, all with magnificent potential to be converted (STPP).
Set within the middle of 61 acres of private land, Little Walstead Farm is approached via long tree lined drive, approaching the main farmhouse and building over the charming bridge across the lake. The land is formed of its own formal gardens, grassed lawn, partially walled garden, greenhouse and various paddocks and fields, including an ancient woodland, and Christmas tree plantation. The land at Little Walstead Farm has clear potential for diversification or for environmental land management.
Lindfield is a popular and picturesque village, providing a wide variety of shops, restaurants, public houses, and a supermarket. Lindfield also
has a medical centre and village hall.
Little Walstead Farm is well connected, via the
mainline railway at Haywards Heath, London Victoria and London Bridge (from 42 mins),
Gatwick Airport and Brighton. The A23 offers
direct access to the motorway network, Gatwick,
Heathrow, and the South coast.
Glyndebourne, Goodwood, Ardingly Showground and Plumpton are all within easy reach. The local footpaths provide a vast network of stunning walks and there are numerous excellent Golf courses nearby and reservoirs for water sports.
Many well-regarded public, prep and state schools can be found nearby, including Lindfield and Blackthorns Primary Schools, Oathall Community College, Great Walstead, Cumnor House, Brambletye, Worth, Ardingly, Burgess Hill Girls and Hurstpierpoint College.
