Set deep within the quiet landscapes of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hare Farm Oast offers a distinctive countryside stay in rural Sussex. Surrounded by the open pastures of a 500-acre working sheep farm, this beautifully restored oast house sits within its own private garden, where wide views stretch across the Brede Valley and the pace of everyday life quickly fades away.
The building’s historic character remains at the heart of the home. The three traditional round kilns – once used for drying hops – now form part of a carefully converted interior where original features such as hop pockets, scuppets, and hoists sit comfortably alongside generous modern living spaces. Five well-appointed bedrooms provide space for families or groups of friends, while the circular kitchen, set within one of the oast roundels, adds a distinctive focal point to the home’s layout. A large dining area, meanwhile, offers plenty of room for everyone to come together at mealtimes, and the living space, centred around a wood-burning stove, provides a welcoming place to gather in the evenings.
The property features a private, enclosed garden that serves as a front-row seat to the Sussex countryside, offering a secure and peaceful sanctuary to soak in the views. During the springtime, this outdoor oasis becomes even more magical, as you can watch newborn lambs frolicking in the adjacent fields, providing a charming and authentic glimpse into life on a working farm.
Footpaths lead directly from the farm into the wider countryside, where you can follow routes along the River Brede and across the rolling landscapes of the Rother Valley. The historic town of Rye also lies just a short drive away, known for its cobbled streets, independent shops, and well-regarded restaurants. Along the coast, the wide sandy beach at Camber Sands offers space for long seaside walks, while nearby landmarks such as Battle Abbey and Bodiam Castle provide a glimpse into the region’s long history.
Combining historic architecture, open countryside, and easy access to Sussex’s coast and historic towns, Hare Farm Oast offers a memorable setting for time away with family or friends.
