Property description

Grove Farm House is a detached Grade II Listed 18th Century Farm House, occupying a substantial plot and situated within a desirable location on the edge of countryside.
The house has been sympathetically restored and has an abundance of period features that include exposed timber beams, original wooden floorboards, sash windows and fireplaces.
Four good size bedrooms are on offer with two principal reception rooms, study, additional snug, kitchen/breakfast room and two stunning bathrooms.
The large main garden benefits from a southerly aspect, enjoying sunshine throughout most of the day whilst the former farmyard to rear provides further off-road parking for multiple vehicles and access to the detached brick built outbuilding. The outbuilding has lapsed planning permission to create a studio space but could perhaps be adapted to holiday let accommodation (subject to necessary consent being obtained).
Grove Farm House offers more than just a home, its a lifestyle; offering the best of coastal and countryside living. Call the exclusive sole agents, Kent Estate Agencies to arrange your viewing today.
