Fine & Country are pleased to present The Dairy House, a remarkable Grade II Listed residence set in the very heart of the Loose Valley Conservation Area, a village renowned for its timeless charm, meandering streams and idyllic rural setting.

Enjoying a privileged position within the historic core of the village, the property lies just a short stroll from tranquil footpaths and the babble of the Loose stream. Loose is the very picture of Kentish village life, with its pretty ragstone church and renowned public house set alongside the stream, offering a timeless backdrop to the valley’s picturesque landscape. Mature trees and established planting provide a natural screen from the lane, creating an atmosphere of calm and privacy within this much-loved setting.

Internally, The Dairy House brims with character. Exposed brick fireplaces, timber sash windows, original beams and gently sloping ceilings all reflect the home’s heritage and enduring charm. The flexible ground floor layout includes three reception rooms, each with its own distinct feel, along with a traditional kitchen, family bathroom and separate WC. The attached workshop offers excellent potential for conversion, whether as a ground floor bedroom, study, gym, cinema room or creative space, subject to acquiring planning permission.

Believed to date back to the sixteenth century, the property has evolved over time, having served as a miller’s store, a working dairy and later a village beer house, with each chapter adding richness to its story. Today, it offers scope for gentle reimagining to suit modern needs. The first floor features three bedrooms and a loft room above. The current layout allows access from bedroom three through to the principal bedroom, a configuration that may appeal to those seeking a dedicated dressing area, nursery or study. Alternatively, there is scope to reconfigure the first floor, subject to acquiring planning permission, perhaps creating a generous principal suite with en suite and dressing room, and a separate bathroom to serve bedroom two.

The mature gardens wrap gently around the home, providing a sanctuary of colour, privacy and space to relax or entertain. A double car port and parking for several vehicles are neatly positioned within the plot.

Loose is one of Kent’s most picturesque villages, offering a rich heritage, scenic walks and an unmistakable sense of place. A highly regarded village primary school is close by, with grammar schools in nearby Maidstone and independent options at Sutton Valence. Mainline rail services to London are available from both Maidstone and Staplehurst, and the M20 is easily accessible via Junction eight.

A home of character, depth and potential, ready for the next custodian to create their own vision of the perfect home in one of the region’s most idyllic settings.
