Bivelham Forge Farm Oast is an enchanting property enjoying a secluded and unique position on a working farm, surrounded by woodland and farmland in the beautiful East Sussex countryside. It is believed that the original Oast House was built in around 1850, when the property formed part of the Glynde Estate.

Under their ownership, our clients have sympathetically extended the dwelling by adding a second roundel and a striking, contemporary, single storey extension to the north-western elevation.

The ground floor can be arranged to suit individual preferences with a flexible and sociable layout. There is a generous reception hall leading to the sitting room in one of the roundels, which has a wood-burning stove with open access through to the garden room with the views of the garden and grounds.

There is an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room centred around a large island with striking granite worktops and storage below, providing plenty of preparation space. The base and wall cabinetry provide further storage with a range of integrated appliances. The dining area is open to the impressive garden room with bifold glazed doors, glazed ceiling panels, and a glazed door to the outside, with wonderful views over the gardens and grounds creating a very impressive feature and a sociable layout.

There is a further large reception room on the ground floor within a roundel, which can be used as needed, providing space for a fifth bedroom if required. A ground floor shower room with WC complete the accommodation.

The first floor is home to four bedrooms. The triple aspect principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, and a well-appointed en suite shower room. There are two generous, double bedrooms within the roundels, with bespoke, fitted storage. A fourth bedroom and family bathroom complete the accommodation.

The gardens surrounding the Oast House are predominantly laid to lawn, with raised growing beds to the north, and a greenhouse to the north-east. The garden also benefits from paved pathways and seating areas and outdoor entertaining and enjoyment of the views.

The current owners have created a Vineyard by planting 500 vines, 250 of the Souvignier Gris variety, and 250 of Johanniter. The fence-enclosed vineyard, which extends to approximately half an acre, is located on a gentle south-facing slope to the west of the Oast House and garden.

In addition to the Vineyard and garden, the property also benefits from approximately one acre of Ancient Woodland, which provides a spectacular carpet of Bluebells in the Spring.

There is driveway parking for numerous vehicles together with a detached timber-framed double garage.
