Set in the heart of Yalding, this Grade II-listed 16th-century detached house offers authentic period character across three levels. Exposed timber beams, fireplaces and wide floorboards give the home a strong historic feel, while three reception rooms and four bedrooms provide flexible family space. The enclosed, mature garden and converted garage/office add useful outdoor privacy and a home-working option.
The property is best suited to buyers who value character and are prepared for the responsibilities of a listed building and an older fabric. Solid brick walls (likely without modern insulation) and an oil-fired boiler mean heating costs will be higher than modern equivalents; council tax band is also noted as expensive. There is a medium flood risk to be considered when budgeting for insurance and long-term maintenance.
Practical benefits include off-street parking, a sizable plot with rural views beyond the garden, and fast superfast fibre broadband. Local amenities, primary schools rated Good and good secondary options are close by, and Paddock Wood station is roughly 10–15 minutes away for commuting to London.
For a buyer seeking a distinctive village home, this house offers immediate charm and scope for sympathetic upgrading—particularly insulation, heating and energy efficiency improvements—while requiring adherence to listed-building regulations.
