DESCRIPTION
An enchanting Grade II listed village house, believed to date to the early 17th Century, rich in charm, character and originality, and lovingly cared for by the present owner for over 40 years. Situated in the very heart of the town, this exceptional period home offers generous and versatile accommodation extending to approximately 2,830 sq ft with a wealth of period features including exposed beams and magnificent inglenook fireplaces, all contributing to the warm and inviting atmosphere that defines the property. The house has clearly been a much cherished home, carefully preserved and sympathetically maintained to retain its unique personality.

The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, arranged to provide an excellent balance of formal reception rooms and comfortable everyday living spaces. The elegant drawing room is a particularly impressive principal reception room, offering generous proportions and a wonderful inglenook fireplace, while the formal dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining. In addition, a cosy snug offers a more intimate retreat, perfect for relaxed evenings. The recently refitted contemporary kitchen provides an attractive hub for day-to-day living. Upstairs, the property continues to impress with a notably spacious landing which could readily be adapted to create a fourth bedroom, study or additional living space, (subject to any necessary consents and approvals being obtained). There are three generous double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite shower rooms, together with a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached via a gated driveway, offering privacy and ample off-road parking, as well as access to a detached double garage, also of a generous size. The gardens are a particular highlight of The Beehive being beautifully established and thoughtfully planted for year round interest. Mature planting creates a series of 'garden rooms' with attractive terraces, lawned areas and secluded nooks, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining throughout the warmer months, all with the backdrop of Lydd's historic All Saints Church.
