About this property
A beautiful detached oast house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms situated within easy reach of local amenities in a very quiet yet accessible location close to Bewl Water and Bedgebury Forest. The property has its own private garden and overlooks surrounding fields and paddocks.
Bakers Farm Oast is a beautiful, detached oast house, stunningly converted and furnished to a high standard. Peacefully located, you will find yourself tucked away from it all down a private drive, within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Sussex/Kent border.
Located within the grounds of a 50 acre estate, the oast has its own private, spacious and lawned garden overlooking the surrounding fields and paddocks. When the sun is shining, enjoy an afternoon on the terrace, perfect for a barbecue with family or friends while taking in the peace and tranquillity surrounding you. Wildlife is abundant, so try and spot any number of animals and birds including deer, foxes, badgers, barn owls or kingfishers. Alternatively, curl up on the sofa in front of the wood burning stove with a glass of wine and a good book as the sun goes down.
Within walking distance are two country pubs, both full of character, serving lovely local food, wines and beer. There is The Bull in the hamlet of Three Leg Cross or The Bell in the village of Ticehurst, where you will also find a pop up fishmongers on Saturdays. This village also boasts a general store, Post Office, artisan bakery, greengrocer, cafe and art gallery.
The house is perfectly located to walk by footpath to Bewl Water, the largest lake in the south-east of England. Here you will discover a 13 mile circular path with beautiful waterside walks and a variety of birdlife. You can even cycle or ride around the perimeter in the summer months. In addition, why not spend the day sailing, windsurfing, rowing, canoeing or fishing on the lake.

Another great short break at Bakers Farm Oast. Cottage at its usual high standard as was the welcome hamper. Back again later in the year.

This is a lovely property in a beautiful location. Very quiet, very secluded, yet within 5 mins walk of a pub and 20 mins walk to the village of Ticehurst. In the opposite direction it’s a 15 min walk down the footpath to Bewl Water. The property is immaculately clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. The owners are lovely and very helpful should you have any problems. The only problem we had was a silly sheep (same one?) that kept getting its head stuck in the fence!!! We spent a glorious week at the Oast House and couldn’t recommend it more. Thank you Angela and Nick for your hospitality and the “welcome hamper”.
