A Rare Blend of Heritage and Luxury in the Heart of the Kentish Countryside
Tucked away in the rolling green landscapes of Kent, this exquisite four-bedroom residence is a masterclass in blending historic character with contemporary luxury. Originally dating back to 1750, this former inn has been extensively renovated to create a spectacular family home that honours its heritage while delivering every modern comfort.
From the moment you arrive, the striking Georgian façade—complete with modern sash windows—offers exceptional curb appeal, setting the tone for what lies within. Step through the front door, and you'll be greeted by original exposed beams, engineered oak flooring, and thoughtfully reconfigured interiors that deliver both space and style.
The ground floor has been intelligently remodelled to offer a flowing, open-plan layout that perfectly balances function with form. At its heart, the expansive kitchen/living/dining space is a true showstopper—zoned for lounging, dining, and entertaining, with bi-fold doors that open seamlessly onto the patio and landscaped garden beyond. Whether it's summer BBQs or quiet mornings with coffee, the transition from inside to outside is effortless.
The bespoke kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting luxury units, a Samsung American-style fridge freezer, Siemens induction hob, SMEG ovens, and an AEG built-in coffee machine and microwave oven. A stylish breakfast bar and feature sink with designer taps complete the look.
Elsewhere on the ground floor, you’ll find a versatile second sitting room—ideal as an intimate snug, guest room, or home cinema—as well as a playroom with integrated, bespoke storage, a cloakroom, and a separate utility lobby for day-to-day convenience.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four generously sized double bedrooms, including two en-suites and a luxurious family bathroom. The master suite is a serene retreat, offering garden views and a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room. Every bedroom has been redecorated with fresh attention to detail, offering tranquil, private sanctuaries away from the lively heart of the home.
Outside, the large, mature rear garden is a private oasis—unoverlooked and thoughtfully designed with a sunken trampoline, and a synthetic grass play area perfect for children. A raised deck at the rear provides a more secluded spot to enjoy evening sun or weekend relaxation.
A detached home office/gym, secure gated driveway, and parking for multiple vehicles further enhance the functionality of this exceptional property.
