4 bed detached house for sale

Hastings Road, Rolvenden, Cranbrook, Kent TN17

This enchanting Grade II listed medieval farmhouse has been lovingly cared for by its current owners over the past 16 years, who have meticulously preserved its character while undertaking thoughtful restoration—including re-rendering the entire house, which is now finished in traditional lime plaster. The house has also recently been completely re-wired and the ground floor is partially fitted with underfloor heating.

The house sits next to the farm and entering into the rear of the house leads you straight into a traditional style kitchen/ breakfast room with peninsula and terracotta floor tiles. You take a couple of steps up to the heavily beamed sitting room and then onto the boot room, downstairs cloakroom and a cosy snug.

Upstairs the landing showcases a partially exposed tie beam while internal windows (or glazed openings) overlook the principal bedroom reflecting the classic layout of a typical traditional hall house design.

The first floor also includes a modern family bathroom with a convenient laundry cupboard, along with an additional two comfortable double bedrooms. All radiators on this level have been upgraded to traditional-style cast iron, sympathetically chosen to complement the period of the house.

Outside there is ample parking, a two-storey building, a large Atcost storage barn and a converted cow shed which now operates as a successful Airbnb / holiday let.
