About 9.68 acres of grounds and paddocks
Set within about 9.68 acres on rural Beech Road, this spacious five-bedroom detached home suits families who want space, privacy and scope to personalise. The main house offers large reception rooms (three open-plan to the rear) and an additional first-floor reception with far-reaching Kent views. A separate annexe adds flexible accommodation for guests, home office or multi-generational living.
Equestrian and smallholding use is already catered for with stables and kennels and generous paddocks. A significant selling point is a detached 3,500 sq ft barn that already has planning permission — ideal for conversion, workshop use or ancillary development subject to the consented plans. Ample off-street parking and substantial outbuildings/garaging support multiple vehicles, storage or hobby uses.
Buyers should note this is a rural, secluded site approached by narrow country lanes; mobile signal is average and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect home working. The house retains oil-fired central heating, double glazing fitted before 2002 and timber-frame walls with partial insulation assumed — there is clear scope (and likely cost) to upgrade services, insulation and modernise bathrooms and kitchen to contemporary standards.
Overall this property is a rare country holding offering immediate family living with long-term development potential. It will appeal to buyers seeking privacy, outdoor lifestyle and an opportunity to create a bespoke home or income-generating outbuildings, while budgeting for modernisation and higher running costs such as oil heating and council tax.
