Dating from the late 1600's, this historic former farmhouse offers contemporary family living within a property of exceptional period character.

Queenhythe was first recorded around 1680 and served as one of the area’s principle farms, comprising a substantial farm house and extensive farmland. Today the Grade II Listed property presents as a beautifully maintained, generously-proportioned family house, blending exceptional period character with the comforts and amenities for modern-day living, all set within mature, well-maintained gardens.

With its striking red brick elevations and clay tile roof, Queenhythe provides the character and intrigue expected of a house of such heritage, offering an abundance of architectural features respectfully embraced and preserved by the current owners who have enhanced the property over 30 years to create a comfortable, updated family home within a traditional setting.

Queenhythe offers spacious well-connected living spaces, not often found in properties of this heritage, which makes it ideally suited to the needs of 21st century family living. The house provides multiple reception and living areas, with the main reception room featuring original exposed beams and a large focal inglenook fireplace, which feeds into an ornate chimney stack, with a traditional hood and elegant cast iron fireback. The sitting and dining rooms offer cosy living spaces and are interconnected, being perfect for entertaining, again with open fireplace and exposed beams in the dining area.

The kitchen has been extended and fully re-modelled by the current owners to provide a spacious high quality, well-appointed kitchen / informal dining space. This features a gas-fired range, extensive worktop space, a breakfast bar and ample storage.

Just off the kitchen is the breakfast room which features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and flagstone floor. The breakfast room leads out onto a broad stone terrace, ideal for eating
al-fresco and leads onto the rear garden.

In addition to the various living areas, there is a study to the rear of the kitchen which can alternatively be used as a fifth double bedroom. A rear hall connects the various living areas and provides access to a modern shower room including a downstairs loo.
