This attractive five-bedroom detached house combines genuine 17th-century character with comfortable family living across three floors. Well-proportioned reception rooms, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and a large open fireplace create a warm, versatile home for everyday life and entertaining. The modern Shaker-style kitchen, utility and pantry add practical, updated conveniences.
The property sits on an established, south-facing plot of about 0.28 acres with a paved terrace, level lawn, mature fruit trees, greenhouse, summerhouse and a detached double garage with driveway. Tonbridge School and Stocks Green Primary are both about 0.9 miles away on footpaths, and rail connections to central London are within about two miles.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, so external and many internal changes will be subject to listed‑building consent and may complicate renovations. The EPC rating is D and council tax is described as expensive, so heating and running costs should be factored in. The listing and age mean ongoing maintenance and sensitive repair work will be needed to preserve historic fabric.
Overall, this is a charming period family home in an affluent area offering generous gardens, strong schooling options nearby and good transport links. It will particularly suit buyers who value historic character and are willing to manage listed‑building responsibilities and the associated maintenance and running costs.
