Summary - Ludwells Farm House, Spode Lane, Cowden TN8 7HN
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Stately five-bedroom farmhouse on c.2.6 acres with pool and planning permission.
Grade II listed five-bedroom farmhouse with original period features
Ludwells Farm House is a Grade II listed five-bedroom farmhouse set in about 2.6 acres of secluded Kent countryside, offering a rare combination of period charm and substantial outdoor space. Original features such as beamed ceilings, wide oak floors and large fireplaces give the house strong historic character, while modern additions include a discreet solar array, air source heat pump and a heated swimming pool with an adjoining games/entertaining pool house.
The grounds are a major asset: extensive parking, a detached double garage, fenced paddock, private lake with jetty and long views over green belt countryside. Planning permission has been granted for a detached barn conversion, creating genuine scope to increase usable accommodation or generate income. The site also suits equestrian use, with nearby bridle paths and existing paddock fencing.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building, which restricts alterations and may complicate refurbishment; specialist consent and higher maintenance costs are likely. Heating runs primarily from LPG with radiators and a boiler; the property uses private drainage and council tax is very expensive. These factors should be weighed against the property’s setting, size and development potential.
Positioned just outside Cowden with good road and rail links to London and Gatwick, the house is practical as a countryside family home or a lifestyle purchase for buyers seeking space, privacy and historic character. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the plot, pool and views in person.
