Swiftsden Farm Oast is believed to date from the mid 19th century and was converted into a residential family home in the 1990's. The current owners have made significant improvements and alterations to the property and as a result it was shortlisted for the Sussex Heritage Trust Awards, which recognises the highest quality conservation, restoration and design of newly built projects whilst encouraging the use of traditional skills and crafts.
