This handsome Grade II* listed Wealden Hall House dates from the 15th century and occupies a prominent position on Lenham’s Market Square. At about 2,102 sq ft the house offers unusually large internal space for a village property, with abundant period character — exposed beams, original floorboards, an impressive inglenook fireplace and sash windows that frame charming square and church views. A private courtyard and a single garage add practical outside space in the centre of the village. The property is offered chain free.
The location is a major draw: Lenham station is a short walk, local shops, cafes, school facilities and countryside walks are all immediately accessible. Broadband is reported fast and mains gas central heating serves the house. The layout includes two reception rooms and three bedrooms across multiple floors, plus cellar storage — well suited to a growing family seeking a distinctive, characterful home in a prosperous village setting.
Buyers should note material practicalities. The Grade II* listing and the property’s age will restrict alterations and likely add time and cost to repairs or upgrades; specialist consent will be required for many works. The plot is modest and external maintenance (including an established wisteria) will be ongoing. Council tax is described as expensive and there may be complexity in verifying bathroom/ensuite arrangements versus summary data — prospective purchasers should confirm current room and bathroom configuration.
Overall this is a rare, sizable period townhouse for someone who values historic character, central village living and easy rail links, and who accepts the additional care, cost and regulatory constraints that accompany a high‑grade listed home.
