Nestled in a tranquil semi-rural village, this spacious five-bedroom family home dates back to the 1830s and has been thoughtfully expanded over the years. Its diverse architectural elements provide a unique charm, showcasing a striking reception hall with timbered ceilings and an intriguing decorative folly, believed to be part of a ship's mast—a testament to its rich history.
The accommodation is generous, featuring a large lounge with a wood-burning stove that opens out through patio doors to the garden, along with a separate study that overlooks the front of the property. The kitchen/dining area is well-fitted and complemented by a handy cloakroom. The upstairs layout includes five bedrooms, served by both a family bathroom and a sizable shower room. A staircase from this level leads to an attic room equipped with a Velux window—an ideal space for an art studio or games room.
Externally, the property boasts ample parking and provides access to a garage/workshop. Notably, planning permission has been secured for the construction of a one-bedroom annexe, which includes a glass walkway connecting both structures. This presents an excellent investment opportunity for those looking to create additional living space for family members or potential rental income; further details can be found on the Maidstone Borough Council Planning Website (reference 19/505867/FULL).
The rear gardens are particularly noteworthy, offering scenic views of the surrounding countryside alongside established flower beds and shrubs that provide privacy and tranquility. The secluded patio area invites outdoor relaxation, while the expansive lawn offers plenty of space for recreational activities.
Situated on a quiet no-through road within walking distance of the village amenities, this property is set in Hunton—a picturesque Kentish village located just outside Maidstone. Residents benefit from access to local facilities such as a well-regarded primary school, a community club and hall, as well as nearby transport links in Paddock Wood that offer regular trains to London. Maidstone itself is easily reachable by car, providing comprehensive shopping options and leisure facilities.
This property not only represents an attractive family home but also presents significant renovation potential for future development or enhancements tailored to your vision.
