Worth Manor is understood to date from 1652 and is Jacobean in its architectural style, with striking twingabled façade, steep pitched roofs and tall chimneys. Worth Manor has the huge benefit of remaining unlisted yet offering beautiful period and style. The property has been subject to a comprehensive renovation and refurbishment in 2001 by our clients. Wrought iron gates set on brick pillars open to a sweeping gravel driveway leading to a turning circle ahead of the house.
Worth Manor offers extensive accommodation arranged over three floors, with an additional cellar. There are three formal reception rooms lying off the central entrance hall: the drawing room is a generous room featuring an impressive inglenook set with a woodburner; the sitting and dining rooms have elegant feature fireplaces and are open to the substantial conservatory that spans the southern and eastern sides of the house.
The kitchen was refitted in 2019 with an extensive range of stylish modern shaker-style cabinetry and a large central island, with polished granite worktops, a four-oven Aga set into a former fireplace, and a number of high end integrated appliances. The kitchen is open to the conservatory, its vaulted glazed roof flooding the room with natural light. Steps descend to the cellar store rooms (the cellar can also be accessed from the drawing room), and there is further storage and space for laundry appliances in the large utility room, which was converted from a former outbuilding and still features the original bread oven.
The conservatory is of particular note, added to the house by our clients and offering a versatile, light and bright space, ideal for informal dining and as a further reception space, with doors opening to the terrace and windows framing the southerly view over the garden. There are four well-proportioned bedrooms on the first floor, three with fitted or built in storage. Bedrooms one and two have en suite shower rooms fitted with modern suites; bedrooms three and four share a ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom, creating an ideal guest suite. There are three further eaves bedrooms on the second floor, together with another bathroom.

Outbuildings and Garaging
To the rear (east) of the house, located in the walled garden are two large detached brick outbuildings, one used as a workshop and the other comprising two garden store rooms connected by a central open store. The larger of these two buildings has planning permission for conversion to a one-bedroom annexe: Wealden District Council ref: WD/2019/2032/F. Worth Manor offers extensive garaging, with a double garage off the driveway, together with a large tractor store lying to the south. A further five-bay garage block is accessed directly from the lane, to the south of the house. In addition, there is large timber summerhouse off the driveway with power connected, currently used as a sewing room, and a timber garden store beyond the brick outbuilding.
