Lydens Lane, Hever, Edenbridge, Kent TN8

Lydens Farm is a charming Grade II listed farmhouse, set in a picturesque location within the Metropolitan Greenbelt and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This much-loved family home, on the market for the first time in over 30 years and offered with no onward chain, presents a rare opportunity for those looking to acquire a country property with significant renovation potential. Approached via a sweeping carriage driveway, the farmhouse is nestled within approximately 2.7 acres of level grounds, providing a wonderful sense of privacy and a south-westerly outlook over the surrounding countryside. Spanning over 3,300 sq ft across three floors, the accommodation is spacious and versatile, featuring a wealth of period details such as exposed wall and ceiling timbers, impressive fireplaces, and a striking barrel-vaulted ceiling in the kitchen/breakfast room. While the property would benefit from updating and modernisation, it offers an exceptional opportunity for new owners to enhance and personalise it according to their preferences. The principal reception areas include a generous dual-aspect sitting room with two full-height bay windows, exposed timbers, and an open fireplace, alongside a dining room and study. The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with a comprehensive range of units and provides direct access to the gardens. The ground floor is completed by a large utility room and cloakroom. The upper floors house four bedrooms, one with a dressing room, two bathrooms, and a separate WC, with the principal bedrooms enjoying attractive views over the grounds and countryside. The gardens are a standout feature of the property, predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with mature deciduous and evergreen trees. A charming walled garden adjoins the rear terrace, leading to a stone bridge crossing a stream. Additional attractions include a swimming pool (in need of refurbishment), a pool house, and several garden stores, all contributing to this delightful country home with significant potential. Conveniently located yet rural, Lydens Farm is close to shopping facilities in Edenbridge (2 miles), East Grinstead (7.5 miles), Tunbridge Wells (10 miles), and Sevenoaks (12 miles). Excellent communication links are provided by two stations in Edenbridge (2.6 miles), offering regular services to London Victoria and London Bridge.
