Stanley House is a Grade II listed 17th-century detached cottage freshly modernised to retain period character while adding contemporary comfort. Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and bespoke kitchen-dining create warm, sociable living spaces suited to relaxed country life.
Set on a very large plot in Bethersden village, the house offers generous rooms, a double carport, driveway parking and a private rear garden with hot tub — ideal for gardening or quiet outdoor time. The layout includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with principal rooms arranged for easy day-to-day living.
Practical points for buyers: the property uses oil-fired heating with boiler and radiators, broadband speeds are slow in the area, and the timber-frame construction appears only partially insulated. As a Grade II listed home, any alterations will be restricted and may add cost or delay to refurbishment plans.
For purchasers aged 60+, a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option is available; guide Lifetime Lease price shown is £594,500 (illustrative; actual price varies by age and circumstances). Alternatively the full market price is £900,000. All buyers should verify tenure, listed consents, services and exact specifications with their solicitor and surveyor.
