Lydens Farmhouse is a substantial Grade II listed four-bedroom farmhouse set within about 2.7 acres of private grounds, offering sweeping southerly views and significant period character. The property includes extensive outbuildings, a pool and pool house, kitchen gardens, formal lawns and a free-running brook — a rare rural retreat close to Hever and Edenbridge. It is offered chain free and provides an immediate opportunity to create a bespoke family home.
The house retains Georgian features such as an inglenook fireplace, medium-to-high ceilings and traditional chimneys, but it requires renovation and sympathetic updating. There is clear scope to reconfigure or extend subject to planning, though the listed status will restrict changes and may complicate alterations. Practicalities include oil-fired central heating, private drainage, and double glazing fitted post-2002.
For families seeking space and privacy, the location is strong: Hever village, Hever station (approximately 1.1 miles) and Edenbridge town (about 1.8 miles) are all within short drives. Local schools include well-regarded independents and strong state options nearby; the area is affluent with low crime and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity.
This property suits buyers who value period charm, large grounds and rural seclusion, and who are prepared for a renovation project that must respect listed-building constraints. Planning potential exists for ambitious buyers, but any improvement works will need consent and careful design.
