Summary - Forge Lane, West Peckham, Maidstone ME18 5JP
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Historic home on a generous plot, modernised with fast fibre and ample parking.
Approximately 0.75-acre private plot backing onto farmland
A rare example of a 15th-century home sympathetically modernised for contemporary family life. The house sits on an impressive c.0.75-acre private plot, backing onto farmland and arranged around a large social patio, orchard-style planting and secluded garden pockets. Practical upgrades include a full rewire completed in 2024 and full-fibre broadband (130 Mbps FTTP), making the property suited to home working and modern connectivity needs.
Internally the layout is flexible: two reception rooms plus an extended kitchen/breakfast room create sociable living space, while a ground-floor bedroom and shower room provide adaptable accommodation for guests, carers or those preferring single-floor living. Period features – exposed timbers reused from decommissioned ships, an inglenook fireplace with bread oven and a wood-burning stove – sit alongside modern fittings such as shaker-style kitchen units and contemporary bathroom fittings.
Important practical points: the plot is large and will need ongoing maintenance and management, and an ancient but functional well on the land may require inspection or servicing. Mobile signal is average in this rural location. The house is offered freehold and chain free, making it straightforward to move into after purchase. Tonbridge & Malling Council Tax Band D applies.
This property will most appeal to buyers seeking countryside character with modern comforts: families who want outdoor space and room to grow, downsizers who value single-floor flexibility, or those seeking a well-connected rural retreat within commutable reach of London.
