This striking Tudor detached house, dating from the 1400s, sits on a huge plot in peaceful Chiddingstone Causeway. Generous gardens, a spring-fed pond, mature trees and a south-facing terrace create private outdoor living and scope for landscaping or small-scale hobby farming.
Inside, original character is abundant: exposed beams, leaded-light windows, latch doors, large inglenook and open fireplaces, parquet flooring (partially hidden) and multi-aspect principal rooms. The ground floor bedroom with a modern shower room and underfloor heating offers flexible use as guest accommodation or an annexe. Solar panels and a boarded loft over the detached double garage are practical assets and provide conversion potential (STPP).
Practical notes: the property combines traditional heating elements (oil-fired AGA available by negotiation and a Grant boiler) with modern appliances in the kitchen. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal average — important for home-working — and the home will suit buyers who value historic fabric and are comfortable carrying out selective updating rather than a full modernisation.
Well-placed for village life, the house is within reach of an outstanding local primary school and several highly regarded secondary and independent schools in the area. Regular rail and bus connections link to Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and beyond, making the house attractive to families who want country living with commuter access.
Overall, this is a rare, character-rich family home on a substantial plot that rewards sympathetic improvement. It will particularly suit buyers seeking period character, outdoor space and scope to add value while retaining historic charm.
