Spacious period home with mezzanine and wine room near Aylesford village.
Grade II listed wing of Preston Hall, dramatic double-height reception
Set within the southwestern wing of Grade II-listed Preston Hall, this three-bedroom apartment combines dramatic Jacobean architecture with contemporary fittings. A double-height reception and mezzanine create an impressive, palatial feel, while a glass-fronted temperature-controlled wine room and large open-plan living space suit entertaining and modern family life. The home includes two en suites, a family bathroom, utility room and secure basement vault, with two private parking bays and communal landscaped grounds of about 2.5 acres.
Practical details are straightforward: share of freehold, leasehold tenure with approximately 111 years remaining, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. Important transactional items remain to be confirmed — ground rent and service charge — and the listed status means alterations will be restricted and may require specialist consent and costs. The property sits near Aylesford village, with good road and rail links for commuters and nearby schools rated Good to Outstanding.
Buyers should balance character and scale against local and building factors. The building’s historic fabric provides exceptional period detail but may require tailored maintenance and conservation-sensitive work. The immediate area records higher crime and notable deprivation statistics; prospective purchasers should factor parking, security and communal management into any decision. This apartment suits someone seeking a striking period home with modern comforts, who understands the commitments of living in a listed conversion.
