A distinctive Grade II Listed detached house dating from around 1500, The Dairy House offers historic character and flexible family space in the heart of Loose Valley. Exposed beams, timber sash windows and three reception rooms create warmth and versatile living areas, while mature wrap‑around gardens provide private outdoor space and scope for family use and entertaining.
Practical benefits include a double car port with parking for several vehicles, mains gas central heating and good mobile coverage. The attached workshop presents genuine potential for conversion to additional living accommodation, subject to planning and listed‑building consent — an opportunity to add value and tailor the home to modern family life.
There are important constraints to note. Listed status and the conservation area mean external changes and internal alterations may be limited and will require specialist consent. The house has a single bathroom, believed solid brick walls with no insulation (assumed), and may need sensitive updating to improve energy performance. Council tax is high and the property sits in a medium flood‑risk zone; buyers should commission appropriate surveys and insurance checks.
This home will suit buyers who value character and village living and are prepared to work within the constraints of a listed building. Local schooling is strong and road and rail links to Maidstone and beyond are convenient, making this a practical family base in an attractive, long‑established setting.
