With 0.4 acres of land, it is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, although the closest M2 junction is just 3.5 miles away and rail stations at Selling and Chilham are a short drive away.

The brick and gravel driveway has a turning circle with parking area surrounding a mature horse chestnut tree.

The downstairs has a dining hall and an informal sitting room, which the agent considers could be easily be used as a large fourth bedroom. There is a formal drawing room, study, bespoke painted wood kitchen/breakfast room with solid natural stone floor and a range oven. There is a utility room and cloakroom.

On the first floor, reached off the galleried landing, there is a spacious principal bedroom suite with wide oak board flooring, ‘his and hers’ dressing rooms and a bathroom.

There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The house, which dates from the 17th century, is Grade II listed and has lots of exposed timbers and historic features.

The garden is principally laid to lawn with gravel paths, perennial flowers and shrubs, a gravel terrace with ornamental pond and a waterfall feature.

An oak gazebo has good views across the adjoining orchards.

The historic village of Chilham is nearby with castle, tea room, gift and farm shops and pubs.
