Substantial period home with huge gardens and far-reaching rural views.
Grade II listed farmhouse in Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Metropolitan Greenbelt, this Grade II listed farmhouse offers more than 3,300 sq ft of versatile family accommodation and sits in about 2.7 acres of established gardens. The home is offered chain free and comes to the market after more than 30 years in the same ownership, providing a rare chance to secure a large rural property with far-reaching south-westerly views.
The house retains strong period character — exposed timbers, tall bay windows, original fireplaces and high ceilings — while presenting clear scope to update the interior and services. Accommodation is arranged over three floors, including a sitting room over 30 ft long, double-aspect dining room, kitchen/breakfast with barrel-vaulted ceiling, study, utility and four bedrooms. A swimming pool, pool house, several stores and a sweeping carriage driveway expand the site's practical and leisure uses.
Buyers should note this property is Grade II listed, which will affect permitted changes and renovations, and it requires updating throughout. The EPC rating is F and heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators; there is private drainage via a sewage treatment plant. These are important running-cost and consent matters to factor into any improvement plans.
For families and investors alike, the plot and location are major draws: huge, private gardens, a stream and wood, excellent countryside outlooks, and good rail links to London from Edenbridge (approx. 2.6 miles). Subject to listed-building consents, the house offers substantial potential to reconfigure, refurbish or reposition as a character family home or a lifestyle investment in an affluent rural setting.
