This historic Grade II listed country home, The Limes, is nestled in the picturesque village of Otham and dates back to the 15th and 16th centuries, offering a unique blend of timeless appeal and potential for modernisation. The property boasts intricate timber framing beneath a traditional Kent peg tiled roof and features a Georgian rendered facade with elegant architectural details. Surrounded by charming medieval structures and expansive rural views, it sits within the Otham Conservation Area. While the home retains much of its character, including original fireplaces and panelled doors, it presents an opportunity for updating to suit contemporary living needs.
As you enter through the front door adorned with a fanlight, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall leading to various reception rooms. The sitting room with ceiling timbers and an inglenook fireplace adds historical charm, while additional rooms provide versatile spaces for an office or family dining. The kitchen connects conveniently to a cellar and utility areas but may require refurbishment to meet modern standards.
On the first floor, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms along with two bathrooms, all benefiting from natural light. There is further potential in the attic bedrooms which could be enhanced or converted for additional living space.
The extensive gardens have previously been open to the public and feature mature borders, lawns, and even a vegetable garden. With separate storage options including a brick stable and greenhouses, there exists scope for creative landscaping or further development.
Located just over two miles from Bearsted's amenities and transport links to London Victoria, this property not only offers serene countryside living but also excellent connectivity to urban centres. This combination of charm and potential makes The Limes an intriguing investment opportunity.
