High Street, Brenchley, TN12

Walters Farmhouse is a striking Grade II listed property that combines rich period character with a stylish and sympathetic refurbishment. Set in a prime position on the High Street, right in the centre of Brenchley, this exceptional home offers the perfect balance of heritage charm and modern living.

Recently extended and meticulously renovated by highly skilled tradespeople, the house now spans over 2,200 sq ft of thoughtfully designed accommodation. The works have enhanced the property’s original character—exposed beams, brickwork, and fireplaces—while introducing a fresh, contemporary finish.

Inside, the house flows seamlessly between its charming period core and the light-filled modern addition. The original rooms retain an abundance of character, including exposed beams, original doors, and a handsome inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove. The sitting room is a wonderfully cosy retreat with beautifully fitted cabinetry, while the double aspect drawing room provides an inviting formal space with views to the front and door out to the garden. A practical boot room adds to the functionality of the ground floor.

The contemporary extension at the side is a true highlight: a spectacular kitchen/dining/family room that forms the heart of the home. Beautifully fitted with bespoke units, stone worktops, and a large central island, the kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A range cooker, integrated appliances, and generous storage complement the style. This open-plan space is flooded with natural light through wide sliding doors and picture windows, which frame views of the landscaped garden and give direct access to the stone terrace. There is ample room for both relaxed seating and a dining area, creating a sociable hub for family and guests alike.

Upstairs, the house offers a thoughtful layout with four bedrooms. The principal suite is especially impressive, featuring a large double bedroom, a separate dressing room, and a stylish en suite bathroom. The further bedrooms each have their own character, with period proportions, exposed timbers, and outlooks over the village or garden. The family bathroom is finished to a high standard, blending traditional style with modern fittings.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a historic village home, beautifully finished and ready to move straight into.

Outside

Outside, the rear garden has been attractively landscaped with a broad lawn, stone terrace, and newly planted borders, all enclosed by fencing and mature trees that create privacy. The southerly orientation ensures all day sun, making the terrace a natural extension of the family living space.

To the front, there is off-road parking, a rare asset for a High Street position, making the property as practical as it is picturesque.

Situation

The property enjoys an enviable location in the heart of Brenchley, a highly desirable Kentish village renowned for its historic architecture, welcoming community, and surrounding countryside. The village provides everyday amenities including a pub, café, doctors’ surgery, and newsagent, with well-regarded schools close by. Tunbridge Wells is just a short drive for wider shopping and leisure, while mainline stations at Paddock Wood and Tunbridge Wells offer fast services to London.
