Coming to the market for the first time in over five decades, this exceptional Grade II Listed, 17th-century residence; thoughtfully extended and updated in the 19th century offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of English history in the very heart of the sought-after village of Aldington.
Set behind a charming frontage rich with period detail, this substantial six-bedroom home exudes character and heritage, with original beams and features beautifully retained throughout. The property includes a self-contained three-bedroom detached annexe with independent access, making it ideally suited for multi-generational living or holiday letting. Both the main house and the detached annexe benefit from their own air source heat pumps.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into an entrance hall, which immediately sets the tone with its sense of warmth and timeless elegance. To the left, the main lounge provides a cosy yet grand living space with exposed beams and a stunning inglenook fireplace with wood burner. This room has double aspect with french doors opening into the garden.
To the right of the entrance hall lies the formal dining room, ideal for entertaining, which leads through to a newly modernised kitchen/breakfast room. Bright and spacious, this contemporary heart of the home opens gives access to the garden and out onto the patio. A separate downstairs W/C completes the ground floor.
The first floor offers four beautifully proportioned bedrooms, each with period features. The principal bedroom enjoys fitted wardrobes, an en suite shower room and a feature fireplace, while the second bedroom also has it's own en suite shower room. The landing provides useful, full-height, built-in storage and adds to the home's practical layout. The third bedroom has substantial built-in storage too and the fourth bedroom is currently used as a dressing room.
The second floor offers two further generously sized bedrooms set within the roof space—ideal for older children, guests, or office space. One of these also benefits from access to extensive eaves storage.
The rear garden is a true highlight—expansive and thoughtfully landscaped, with uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. A charming summer house sits at the far end of the garden, providing the perfect retreat or hobby space. The summer house faces away from the main house and therefore gives great aspect over the surrounding countryside.
A standout feature of this property is the beautifully presented detached annexe, offering a wealth of possibilities. It provides a full three-bedroom residence arranged over two floors. The first floor opens into a light-filled, open-plan kitchen/living/dining area with panoramic countryside views, a separate utility room, and W/C. Stairs lead down to the ground floor where three good-sized bedrooms, two of which have built-in wardrobes. A family bathroom, and a separate shower room complete this floor.
A private driveway to the rear of the property allows for separate access for the annexe and for the garden; as well as providing plenty of private parking too.
