Set in the centre of this thriving village this unique home has a history stretching back to medieval times. Originally a Wealden Hall house dating back to the 15th Century it displays many original timbers, trusses and beams and has two impressive Inglenook fireplaces in the sitting room and dining room. The addition of an oak framed orangery offers the most wonderful family living area which opens onto the delightful rear garden. There is a useable cellar approached via the kitchen which contains embedded arches which, we understand, were used to over-winter bees.
To the first floor are three good sized bedrooms, the main bedroom upstairs having a spectacular cathedral arched ceiling which still shows the wood smoke stained beams from its medieval past. The second bedroom offers a mezzanine level - a fantastic children’s space or guest area. The established rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, surrounded by a traditional red brick patio giving plenty of space to enjoy the peace and quiet, whilst admiring the plants and flowers. There is a mature feature Magnolia tree which makes for a focal point and this wonderful garden is an ideal space to sit and relax, at the end of which, is a feature of an interesting sub-terranean folly which even English Heritage could not establish its use.
The village has a thriving, caring community with the local pub being a hub of activity. There is a primary school and a farm shop where local fresh produce is available, and there is an abundance of beautiful trails to walk, from your doorstep. Gravesend and Dartford are very close and access to major roads and rail links is easy and convenient, with Ebbsfleet being just five minutes away for journeys to London and mainland Europe.
With a stunning view of St Nicholas Church and set in the heart of this friendly village, this extended and carefully restored home over a ten year period by its current owners, is full of character and must be viewed internally to appreciate what is offered within.
