Outside
Great Wigsell Farm is approached from the lane over a shared driveway and a gate gives access onto its own private driveway with parking and turning area for a number of cars. A pathway leads to the front door.
The gardens are principally laid to lawn with flower borders and a number of mature trees including cherry and oaks.
The driveway continues down to the excellent steel-framed agricultural barn extending to about 3,500 ft2 with 3-phase electricity and water connected and concrete flooring. There are currently three loose boxes and a separate tack/feed store in situ.
The land is divided into three pasture fields and a woodland shaw, with magnificent rural views back towards Hawkhurst church in the distance.
