Description
Splendid 17th Century manor house with enchanting walled garden and rural views
The Manor, which is grade II* listed, occupies a splendid rural setting outside the picturesque village of Waldron in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Waldron is a Saxon village with a 12th century church and a popular pub called The Star Inn.
From its elevated position, the principal reception rooms and bedrooms of the Manor are afforded wonderful far-reaching views over the gardens and land belonging to the property. The generous ground floor has 3 separate reception spaces, including the impressive 45'5 x 18'9 (13.25m x 5.72m) drawing room with a magnificent open fireplace, a characterful reception hall with open fireplace and wooden panelling and a dining room, conveniently adjacent to the kitchen. The kitchen has an oil-fired Nobel Range cooker and there is space for a breakfast table. A door leads out to the covered outdoor pool and terrace area. At the other end of the kitchen there is a door to the 2 bedroom annexe, which provides excellent staff or guest accommodation. At the far end of the ground floor is the cosy study, which has folded linen panelling. There are 6 double bedrooms on the first floor and 3 bathrooms. On the second floor, there are 5 further bedrooms, a family bathroom, linen room and storerooms. This floor is ideal for use as overflow guest accommodation or as a children's floor.
Outside, the south-east facing stone terrace provides a delightful seating area with lovely views over the gardens to the pasture and woodland beyond. Much work was undertaken in recent times to restore and maintain the impressive garden infrastructure, including the walled ha-ha, with its sunken paved area and gate and in particular, the magical walled garden. This has a revolving summer house and a plethora of fruit trees, including; apples, pears, plums, damsons, and quince. The detached two-storey barn has a garage, workshop, studio and store spaces. The land at Possingworth Manor extends to approximately 17.03 acres and includes the gardens, former grass tennis court area, pasture, a woodland copse and a pond.
