Hidden away within a tranquil, unspoilt corner of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hare Farm Oast offers a rare opportunity to escape into a quintessential slice of rural Sussex. This architecturally stunning conversion, featuring three iconic round kilns, sits within its own private half-acre garden, enveloped by 500 acres of a thriving, wildlife-rich working sheep farm. Inside, the property’s heritage is celebrated through the sensitive preservation of original hop-drying features—such as historic hop pockets, scuppets, and hoists—which sit alongside five sumptuous bedrooms and a magnificent open-plan living space, and unique round kitchen. The heart of the home is the grand central dining space, a spectacular setting designed for celebratory feasts and meaningful connection. Whether you are curled up by the roaring wood-burning stove or gazing out at the sweeping views of the Brede Valley, the sense of peace is absolute.
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.
Beyond the farm’s gates, a network of footpaths invites you to follow the meandering River Brede through the Rother Valley, yet you remain perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the region. The medieval charm of Rye, with its independent boutiques, artisan cafes, and Michelin-standard dining, is just a ten-minute drive away. For those seeking coastal air, the rolling dunes of Camber Sands are within easy reach, perfect for lazy beach days and cosy walks, as are the historic treasures of Battle Abbey and Bodiam Castle. Hare Farm Oast is more than just a place to stay; it is a unique rural sanctuary where friends and families can gather to celebrate life’s special moments amidst the timeless beauty of the Sussex countryside.
