This historic detached residence, White Gables, showcases the charm of 17th-century Kentish architecture and is set within expansive grounds that exceed an acre. The property, while unlisted, provides a captivating blend of heritage and potential for modernization. Its exterior features white painted gables and weatherboarding, presenting a classic façade beneath a pitched tiled roof. Inside, the two-story layout is filled with natural light, thanks to multi-pane windows that overlook the lush gardens. The ground floor consists of an inviting hallway with parquet flooring leading to a dual-aspect study with a fireplace, a dining room connected to the sitting room via another fireplace, and a kitchen boasting garden views alongside ample storage options. There’s significant potential for reimagining these spaces into an open-concept kitchen-dining area. Upstairs offers five well-proportioned bedrooms along with two bathrooms catering to family needs.
The gardens are particularly notable, featuring mature trees, areas of lawn, an attractive pond complete with a duck house, and even the remains of a former tennis court which holds possibility for refurbishment or alternative uses. A double bay garage and adjoining shed enhance practical storage solutions.
Coming to market for the first time in forty years, this property represents an outstanding opportunity to invest in a period home ripe for sympathetic updates while maintaining its historical integrity. Located within the desirable Cranbrook School catchment and surrounded by picturesque countryside yet accessible to local amenities and transport links, it embodies both character and investment potential.
