Summary - KENARDINGTON MANOR KENARDINGTON ASHFORD TN26 2NE
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Historic Grade II* manor with park-like grounds and versatile outbuildings.
Grade II* Tudor manor with strong period character
Kenardington Manor is a striking Grade II* Tudor manor house set within mature, park-like grounds and approached down a plane-tree avenue. The house offers dramatic period rooms — including a high‑ceilinged court room, double‑aspect drawing room with stone fireplace and a principal bedroom with en suite — arranged across a substantial 4,363 sq ft of historic accommodation.
Outside, clipped topiary, lawns, a large pond and specimen trees create a private, picturesque setting. Ancillary buildings (granary with first‑floor studio, stable block, cart lodge and four‑bay garage) and generous parking behind electric five‑bar gates add useful storage, workspace and potential ancillary uses subject to consents.
Practicalities are straightforward for a rural manor: oil‑fired central heating, double glazing fitted before 2002 and fast broadband. The village is peaceful and scenic with good primary schools nearby; Ashford International is about eight miles away with roughly an hour to London door‑to‑door.
Important considerations: the property’s listed status (Grade II*) will restrict alterations and can complicate works and consents. The solid brick fabric is assumed uninsulated and the main fuel is oil, so buyers should budget for sympathetic conservation maintenance, possible upgrading and high council tax costs. Overall this is best suited to buyers seeking a historic country home with substantial grounds and an appetite for managed conservation rather than a move‑in‑and‑forget modern house.
