A rare Grade II listed Kentish country house combining period character with thoughtful modernisation. Generously proportioned reception rooms, a contemporary open-plan flow and floor-to-ceiling glazing bring light to original exposed timbers and a grand inglenook fireplace, creating comfortable family living with strong entertaining spaces.
Set in about 17 acres, the grounds include formal lawns, orchard, greenhouse, woodland, two ponds, and a detached double barn/garage — offering genuine equestrian potential and plenty of scope for outdoor hobbies. Two gated entrances, a sweeping driveway and extensive parking support versatile use and privacy.
The house already benefits from recent refurbishment and flexible accommodation — six bedrooms, multiple studies/office space and an attached home office link ideal for remote working. Local schools are well regarded and Ashford/Pluckley rail links make commuting feasible.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance; broadband is very slow; council tax is quite expensive. These factors are material for anyone planning significant renovation, high-bandwidth working from home, or long-term running costs.
