This Grade II listed historic property offers a wealth of charm and character, boasting over 6,000 square feet of substantial living space. Originally constructed in the 15th century, with subsequent enhancements, it has notable historical ties, including a connection to Alice Bowes-Lyons and ties to the late Queen Mother who was reputedly fond of its expansive gardens designed by the co-founder of the National Trust, Octavia Hill. The property features a gated entrance leading down a scenic driveway that offers views over well-maintained gardens and the picturesque River Darent.
The main house includes an entrance hall, multiple reception areas including a drawing room and studio, along with a spacious kitchen and utility area. It contains seven additional bedrooms across two further floors, complemented by various bathrooms and an attached annexe suitable for guests or extended family.
Notably, there are two self-contained flats situated above garages that could be utilized as rental opportunities or guest accommodations. Adjacent to the main residence is a detached Oast House that presents significant renovation potential; currently featuring a storage room and bedroom, it can be transformed into further living space or an attractive rental unit.
The grounds extend around 20 acres, providing ample space for landscaping enhancements or additional development (subject to planning consent). This property represents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a significant renovation project while preserving its rich heritage.
