Summary - Hazelden Farmhouse, Marden Road TN17 2LP
7 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious family home with extensive grounds and outbuildings.
Grade II listed 16th‑century timber‑framed farmhouse
Hazelden Farmhouse is a rare Grade II listed timber‑framed farmhouse dating from the 16th century, set in about 1.53 acres with extensive countryside views. The house blends authentic character — exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and a vaulted kitchen — with usable modern conveniences including an Aga, utility rooms and multiple reception spaces. A detached garage and large outbuilding currently used as a multi‑person home office add flexible workspace and parking.
The accommodation is substantial: seven bedrooms across three floors, four bathrooms and three reception rooms provide clear family living and guest capacity. Vaulted second‑floor rooms and generous attic storage offer scope for adaptation and household organisation. The grounds include formal lawn, a pond, paved terrace and a wildflower meadow — excellent for informal entertaining and country living.
Practical considerations are important. The Grade II listing will restrict alterations and will add complexity and cost to major works. Heating is oil‑fired via boiler and radiators, and broadband speeds are slow; expect higher running costs and potential investment to improve connectivity. Council tax is described as very expensive. Access to Cranbrook (2.4 miles) and transport links to London via nearby stations are reasonable but not immediate.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a characterful rural family home with space for home working, outdoor lifestyle and sympathetic restoration. It rewards those prepared to manage listed‑building responsibilities and ongoing running costs while enjoying privacy, extensive grounds and scenic Kentish views.
