A Grade II listed late medieval house with substantial annexe accommodation and far reaching countryside views.
Watersheet Farm is believed to have originally been part of a medieval hall house with 18th and 19th century additions. The property has two annexe buildings, one 17th century barn having been converted to a high standard in 2019 providing three bedroom accommodation, together with a one bedroom cottage and two outbuildings.
The main house is constructed of brick on a rag stone plinth, half tile hung under a Kent peg tiled roof. Watersheet Farm has many period features including a wealth of beams and timbers, mullion window, inglenook fireplace with bressumer beam over and original latch doors.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, kitchen, sitting room, dining room, laundry/boot room, cloakroom and rear hall. The sitting room is double aspect with views of the garden and fields beyond with an inglenook fireplace housing a wood burner and access to a small passage leading to the bright dining room. The welcoming entrance hall has a mullion window and limestone floor which is open to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with ample base and wall units under a tiled worktop housing a single oven and electric ceramic hob. A rear hall with brick floor and stable door leads to the laundry/boot room and cloakroom completing the ground floor accommodation.
Stairs lead to the first floor landing with a stunning exposed brick chimney breast. The first floor comprises the principal double aspect bedroom suite with far reaching countryside views, en suite bathroom and wardrobe storage. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor.
The Annexe Barn
The 17th century annexe barn was converted in 2019 to a high standard providing spacious open plan living accommodation with many beams and timbers, a vaulted ceiling, limestone flooring and a fitted kitchen with base units housing a single oven, electric ceramic hob and dishwasher. A bathroom with the original oak wall and a delightful freestanding roll top bath with claw feet completes the downstairs accommodation. There are two separate staircases one leads to a mezzanine bedroom and the other to a further bedroom with en-suite shower room. The ground floor has underfloor heating.
The Annexe Cottage
The cottage provides further annexe accommodation providing a fitted kitchen, sitting room with vaulted ceiling, bedroom and a bathroom.
