Summary - STUBSFIELD HOUSE SOUTH GREEN SITTINGBOURNE ME9 7RY
6 bed 5 bath Detached
Substantial rural estate with annexe, extensive grounds and equestrian potential.
Substantial detached family home with four bedrooms and two reception rooms
Set on just under 30 acres in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the North Downs, this substantial detached family house offers a rare combination of generous living space and self-contained annexe accommodation. The main house provides four double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a modern kitchen with underfloor heating, and principal rooms that take advantage of wide countryside views. The adjoining two-bedroom annexe has its own living room, kitchen and shower room — ideal for multi-generational living or rental income.
The estate includes useful outbuildings: a detached barn, hay barn, tack room and a four-stable block. These buildings and the grounds present clear potential for equestrian, hobby farming or landscaping projects, but several structures require refurbishment. Planning permission for a detached garage was previously granted but has lapsed. The property is served by LPG boiler heating (not on a community gas supply) and is described as having timber-frame walls with no insulation assumed, which may mean further investment is needed to improve thermal efficiency.
Practical considerations are straightforward: gated private driveway with extensive parking, fast broadband, and convenient access to the M2/M20 and nearby towns. Important negatives to note are a higher local crime statistic, a council tax band described as quite expensive, and the lapsed planning permission. The house suits a family or multi-generational household seeking a large rural estate with scope for renovation, equestrian use or ancillary income, and who are comfortable managing and investing in older buildings and grounds.
