Sutton-At-Hone, Nr Farningham, Kent

This historic property, believed to date back to 1199, is a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors looking to restore a piece of heritage. Nestled in moated gardens and surrounded by a former deer park, the house boasts Grade II* listing status and is part of a Scheduled Ancient Monument. While the main structure exhibits an impressive mix of medieval and Georgian architectural features, it presents significant potential for refurbishment. The interiors include high-ceilinged rooms with original panelling and shutters that could be revitalized to highlight their historical charm. Although some modernization is needed throughout, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, the existing layout provides ample space with eight bedrooms and generous living areas, ideal for family living or conversion into luxury amenities. The grounds are extensive, featuring beautifully maintained gardens that benefit from careful planting over the years, offering further opportunities for enhancement or reconfiguration to suit modern tastes. With about 97 years remaining on the lease with National Trust, this property offers not just a home but an investment into an important part of local history and culture.
