A handsome Queen Anne Grade II listed country house set in about 3.5 acres of landscaped gardens, orchard, paddock and woodland — an unusually private plot on a quiet village lane in Benenden. The main house offers generous, character-filled reception rooms, original features and flexible accommodation; a separate one‑bed Oast annexe provides income potential or guest space.
The property requires modernisation in places and is offered CHAIN FREE, making it suitable for a family seeking a long-term “forever” home with scope to reconfigure and extend (subject to listed‑building constraints and planning). Large garage and workshop are ripe for conversion to ancillary accommodation, and the substantial loft and cellar present further potential (subject to consents).
Practicalities to note: the house is listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate planning and renovations. Heating is oil‑fired in the main house with electric heating in the annexe; parts of the property need updating. Council tax bands are high and private drainage is in place. Taken together, this is a rare opportunity for buyers who value character, space and rural seclusion and who are prepared to manage restoration and listed‑building requirements.
