Summary - LITTLE MANOR STAPLEHURST ROAD FRITTENDEN CRANBROOK TN17 2EA
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious country house with paddock, outbuildings and bright modern extension.
Grade II listed 17th-century manor with substantial period features
Little Manor is a substantial Grade II listed country house set on about 3.15 acres, combining 17th century character with a modern kitchen/dining extension and generous entertaining space. Principal reception rooms retain exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces and brick floors that create authentic period charm. A ground-floor bedroom and family bathroom add flexible accommodation for multi-generational living.
The plot is a major asset: paved terraces, formal gardens leading to a paddock, a gated paved driveway and detached garage block with workshop and an external-access studio/office above. The kitchen extension benefits from large roof lanterns and sliding doors to two elevations, producing bright open-plan living that flows to the garden.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict changes and require specialist consents and likely add cost and timescales to any alterations. There is a medium flood risk and the property sits in a rural, hamlet setting — useful for privacy but requiring car travel for many services. Council tax banding is expensive and the heating is oil-fired with boiler and underfloor heating, which may influence running costs.
For families and buyers seeking a character home with significant outside space and outbuildings, Little Manor offers rare scope. It suits purchasers happy to work within listed-building constraints and to maintain a large, historic house, or those who appreciate a property already thoughtfully updated for modern family life.
