A Grade II listed home which dates back to the Middle Ages but has all the mod cons homebuyers expect today, has gone on the market.
The Old House, which is in the centre of West Malling in King Street, can trace its origins back to medieval times and comes with exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and a crown-post roof that's been fully restored to its former glory.
The three-bedroom home, which is up for sale through Fine & Country estate agents, underwent a massive restoration back in the early 2000s, after it was converted from disused storeroom belonging to the old Baldocks shop in nearby Swan Street.
Thought to be one of the oldest buildings in West Malling, the18-month restoration, which was carried out by a specialist restoration firm, saw it converted from a dilapidated building with no usable floor and gaping holes in the walls to a hi-tec family home with underfloor heating.
Arranged over four levels, the Old House now has two reception rooms and two bathrooms, and a bespoke kitchen/breakfast room with hand-painted units, granite work surfaces and range cooker.
The master bedroom has a stunning vaulted, beamed ceiling, while outside there is a driveway and courtyard garden.
The current owner said: "It's a real privilege to live in a home with so much history, in the very heart of West Malling.
"In every room you can see the attention to detail that went into the painstaking restoration.
"The mix of old and new on the inside, combined with everything a bustling market town like West Malling has to offer on your doorstep, adds up to one amazing home laced with history."
The property is for sale for offers over £650,000 through Fine & Country. To find out more click here.
