An opportunity to acquire a historic house within the village of Staplehurst originally known as The Limes and subsequently Vine House. Interestingly the front of the main house was built of expensive London stock bricks imported for added prestige with the sides of the house made of local red brick. We offer the northern wing of the property. The whole property was occupied by a Doctor Watson in the early 1800’s running a successful nursing home. Apparently Staplehurst air was thought to be particularly pure. Subsequently the property was once again a nursing home in the 1920’s and subsequently owned by John Silkin the late MP. The accommodation is spacious, well-planned and beautifully presented. The property is set in the centre of the popular Wealden village of Staplehurst with its range of local amenities including post office, Sainsburys supermarket, primary school and mainline station providing commuter services to London Charing Cross, Waterloo, London Bridge and Cannon Street (approximately 55 minutes). The County town of Maidstone is approximately 9 miles away providing a wider range of both shopping and leisure facilities.
