Summary - ISOBELS STABLES, TONBRIDGE ROAD TN8 7AT
9 bed 6 bath Detached
Substantial rural home with income‑producing annexe and three acres of grounds.
Grade II listed cottage with period features and 16th‑century origins
A rare Grade II listed country property set in about three acres, The Horseshoes combines historic character with versatile ancillary accommodation. The principal 4‑bed cottage retains exposed timbers, inglenook fireplace and leaded casements, while a modern oak‑framed four‑bed annexe (Isobel’s Stables) and a self‑contained one‑bed unit provide flexible living or income potential.
The site is highly private with an in‑and‑out gravel drive, off‑street parking and mature landscaped gardens that extend to neighbouring fields and walking access to Bough Beech reservoir. The annexe is currently used for Airbnb and reportedly generates circa £50,000 a year, making the property attractive to buyers seeking part‑time income alongside owner occupation.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property uses oil central heating, private drainage and has very slow broadband. Grade II listing will restrict alterations and require specialist consent for many changes. Council Tax Band G also means higher ongoing costs. Prospective buyers should budget for listed‑building maintenance and bear in mind limitations on modernisation.
Overall this is a substantial rural holding for a buyer who values period character, outdoor space and flexible accommodation. It suits a family wanting separate guest or staff quarters, or an investor/owner‑occupier looking for established holiday‑letting income, provided they are comfortable with listed‑property ownership and rural service constraints.
