High Street, Yalding, Maidstone, Kent ME18

This Grade II* listed detached house in the centre of Yalding is a late-17th-century property with accommodation arranged over three floors, extensive cellars and an attached one-bedroom annexe. The house has been in the same ownership for 42 years and is described as offering scope for sensitive updating, with its historic features retained. The main accommodation extends to over 6,000 sq ft and includes two principal reception rooms, a family room and a kitchen with a traditional Aga and additional cooking facilities. There are eight bedrooms, bathrooms on the upper floors and a boarded attic used for storage, with any future adaptation subject to the necessary consents. The Dairy House has its own entrance and includes a ground-floor bedroom, bathroom, WC and kitchen/dining room, with a first-floor living room. It could also be incorporated into the main house. Outside, the grounds extend to approximately three-quarters of an acre and include mature planting, lawn, vegetable and cutting gardens, and a greenhouse. A large driveway, three-bay open garage and adjoining lockable garage provide parking and storage. Yalding village amenities are nearby, with rail services from Yalding and further connections from Paddock Wood. The property is Grade II* listed, so any proposed alterations or improvements would need to be considered in light of its heritage status and relevant consents.
