#TheGardenOfEngland
An exceptional period home in the heart of the Kentish countryside.
Tucked away in a peaceful corner of this sought-after village is a charming and beautifully presented period home built in the local Kentish vernacular, with ragstone elevations, brick quoins, and traditional Deering windows. Having been sympathetically extended, the property now offers almost 2,000 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation (in addition to outbuildings) across three floors, blending character features with modern comforts.
Approached via a long gravel driveway, the house is set well back from the lane, affording a great sense of privacy and tranquillity. The generous driveway provides secure parking for several vehicles and leads to a large detached outbuilding (formerly a garage), currently arranged as a games room, offering scope for further ancillary use, such as a home office or studio, subject to any necessary consents.
Accommodation
The interior of the property is filled with natural light and period charm, including exposed beams, brick flooring, and a wood burning stove. The ground floor is particularly impressive, featuring a spacious kitchen/dining room with a recent extension that now incorporates a useful utility area and a contemporary ground floor shower room. The main reception room enjoys direct access to the garden, making it ideal for family living and entertaining alike.
Upstairs, the first floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, while a charming spiral staircase rises to the second floor. The loft has been converted to create a delightful guest bedroom and home office space. With the addition of a partition wall, there is clear potential to create a fifth bedroom if required.
Outside
The gardens are a particular feature of the property, mostly laid to lawn and beautifully screened by mature trees and established planting, offering a high degree of privacy. Facing south, the garden enjoys excellent sunlight throughout the day, with a spacious stone terrace ideal for alfresco dining. Raised beds and well-stocked borders further enhance the space.
