Linton Hill, Linton, Maidstone, Kent

Ragstones is a pretty Grade II listed house set in the heart of the village of Linton.

As its name suggests, the property is constructed using the local ragstone and, together with tile hung elevations and ornate bargeboards, is of a style vernacular to the area. Its elevated position allows views over the Weald.

A front door opens to a central hall with bay windowed reception rooms to either side, currently arranged as a sitting room and a playroom. The sitting room has a brick fireplace.

The kitchen/breakfast room sits to the rear corner of the house, again with a bay window which enjoys the views. With traditionally styled units to one end there is ample room for a large table.

An inner hall leads to a generous utility room and a shower room beyond. A door opposite the shower room opens to a sheltered courtyard.

There is also a good size cellar with a boiler room and a store room.

Upstairs there are four good bedrooms set off large landing. These are served by a family bathroom with a separate shower and bath.

Ragstones is set in an elevated position adjacent to the village church.

The gardens sit to the front of the house and are laid to lawn. Set behind a picket fence and hedging, a path leads to the front door and a wide porch.

A terrace behind the house provides a sheltered spot in which to relax with views across the Weald.

The village car park is close by.
