Little Walstead Farm is a Grade II* listed farmhouse, with an abundance of outbuildings, all with outstanding potential (STPP). 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.
