Nestled within the picturesque Kent Downs National Landscape, this Grade II listed country house embodies a blend of historic charm and modern living. Swanton Old House, rich in character, presents an array of original features including exposed timber framing, period fireplaces, and leaded light windows that tell the story of its late 16th-century origins. Although it has seen some sympathetic enhancements over the years, the property offers considerable potential for further renovations that could elevate its appeal while preserving its unique character.
The spacious accommodation spreads across two floors with well-proportioned rooms suitable for both family gatherings and entertaining. Enter through a charming lobby leading to atmospheric reception areas—the dining room boasts an inglenook fireplace while the sitting room features a cozy woodburning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room also overlooks the garden and includes a Rayburn, leaving room for prospective updates or reconfigurations.
Upstairs, five bedrooms await transformation with ample space for modernizing the bathroom facilities and enhancing storage solutions. The expansive grounds are noteworthy with formal gardens complemented by more natural landscaping; possibilities abound for creating outdoor living spaces or extending existing structures.
Outbuildings include a garage with planning permission to develop into a multi-bay facility plus an apartment above, alongside a traditional barn/store offering varied future uses pending necessary consents. This property is not just a residence but an investment opportunity waiting to be revitalized in line with your vision.
