This historic 15th-century property, once home to five cottages, is now a single expansive residence offering considerable renovation and investment potential. With six reception rooms and six bedrooms across its generous two-storey layout, The Old Place presents unique opportunities for modernisation while retaining its inherent character. Set within approximately three-quarters of an acre of private grounds, the property features formal Yew hedges, paddocks, and multiple outbuildings that could be revitalised or repurposed. There is also the potential for obtaining planning permission for an additional dwelling on site.
The elegant facade welcomes you into a versatile space where traditional elements such as oak panelled doors and inglenook fireplaces coexist with modern amenities like a functional kitchen installed in 2022. The surrounding gardens boast significant outdoor spaces, including rose gardens and sunken areas ripe for development.
While the barn converted into self-catering apartments generates a substantial annual income of around £40,000 from holiday lets, the main residence itself requires refurbishments that allow for creative reimagining. The building's Grade II listing adds historical value but does come with considerations for any renovation work.
With a large driveway fitted with electric car chargers and the infrastructure already in place (solar panels, oil heating), this property is ideal for those looking to undertake a significant refurbishment project that could enhance both living space and investment returns. This could be an excellent opportunity for an extended family or someone looking to create a bespoke estate in the picturesque South East.
