A rare surviving Wealden hall house dating from the 15th century, this Grade II listed detached home blends historic character with practical living. Exposed beams, multi‑pane casements and an inglenook fireplace create immediate period appeal, while the extended wing provides a bright kitchen/breakfast room, ground‑floor bedroom with en‑suite and useful utility space. The property is presented well throughout and sits on a large plot with mature gardens, a pond and off‑street parking.
The house suits a family seeking village life and characterful interiors close to Canterbury, with four double bedrooms, a separate study and generous reception space. The extended living area and triple aspect sitting room flood the main level with natural light and offer flexible layouts for dining, study and relaxation. Outside, terraces, lawn, specimen trees, greenhouse and a large shed add practical garden amenities for hobby gardeners.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed building, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance. The solid brick construction appears uninsulated and secondary glazing is fitted; historic fabric means upgrades (insulation, wiring, services) could be costly and will require listed‑building consent. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. Council Tax is in a high band and local crime levels are above average.
Overall this is an attractive, characterful family home with scope to sensitively improve energy performance and services where permitted. For purchasers after authenticity, generous gardens and immediate village convenience to Canterbury, this property offers a compelling combination—subject to the constraints and costs that accompany listed‑status ownership.
