Summary - South Street, Barming, Maidstone, Kent, ME16 ME16 9EX
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom period home with large gardens and countryside views.
Grade II listed Georgian cottage dating to 1680
A rare Grade II listed Georgian cottage dating to 1680, set on a large walled plot in desirable Barming. The house keeps abundant period character — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, stone and timber floors — alongside modern practicalities such as a kitchen/breakfast room, utility and large cellar. The elevated second-floor bedrooms enjoy far-reaching views over orchards and Kent countryside.
The plot includes mature fruit trees, lawns, a two-storey conservatory, outbuilding, gated driveway with parking for multiple vehicles and a detached double garage. The location is convenient for local amenities, regular buses, Maidstone town centre, train and motorway links, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which preserves character but will constrain alterations and may complicate development plans. There is stated development potential, but any work will require the correct consents. The house is large and historic, so expect ongoing maintenance and renovation to preserve original features.
This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial, characterful family house or a sympathetic renovation project in a very affluent, well-connected village setting. It’s an opportunity to live in a picturesque historic property with a generous plot, provided you accept listed-building responsibilities and likely higher running costs.
