Renovated Victorian home with dual‑living potential and large gardens in peaceful village.
Chain free five-bedroom detached period house circa 2,000 sqft
Kendal House is a substantial five-bedroom detached period home that blends preserved character with contemporary living. Extensively renovated five years ago, the property offers around 2,000 sqft of flexible accommodation centred on a stunning open-plan kitchen / dining / family room with bi-fold doors to garden areas and a Scandi-style wood burner. The downstairs wing - with its own bedroom and shower room - provides genuine potential for generational living, dual occupancy or a home business subject to any required consents.
Set in the peaceful heart of Shadoxhurst, the house enjoys two separate east- and west-facing gardens, greenhouse and a large workshop/storage shed plus garage and off-street parking. The plot is large for the village and sits with pleasant views over the ancient church and surrounding countryside, while local amenities, good schools (including grammar options) and Ashford’s HS1 link are within easy reach.
Practical points to note: heating is by LPG boiler and radiators (not mains gas), broadband speeds are slow in the area, and the EPC is D. Council tax is described as expensive. Although rebuilt with modern fittings and double glazing, the building’s age (originally 1890) means buyers should assess long-term maintenance and any specific consent requirements if changing the property’s use or creating formal separate accommodation.
This house will suit a family seeking space and village tranquillity, or householders looking for flexible multi-generational accommodation with ample outbuildings and workshop space. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the size, layout and countryside setting for yourself.
