About this property
This Grade II listed period property exudes charm and character, showcasing architectural features that reflect its rich history and offering extensive accommodation of over 6,000 square feet.
The property is believed to have been built in the 15th century, with later additions and was previously owned by Alice Bowes-Lyons. It is rumoured that the late Queen mother had been known to play in the 20 acres of gardens, which were designed by Octavia Hill, co-founder of the National Trust.
The house is approached through gates and along a driveway with views of the gardens and the River Darent, which feeds to a pond. Here sit the garages and garden store, with two self contained flats above. The main house is located further along the driveway. The detached Oast House sits alongside the main house.
