High Road, Fobbing

A character-packed Grade II listed gem with gorgeous period features, big living spaces, dreamy gardens and its own two-bed annex — historic charm turned all the way up.

Tucked into the pretty village of Fobbing, this Grade II listed Yeoman’s Hall House is the kind of place that stops you in your tracks — full of character, full of history and full of that “I could live here…” feeling.

Step inside and you’re greeted by an L-shaped entrance hall that instantly whispers: Yes, this is going to be good. Exposed beams, stone floors, classic details — it’s basically the period-home equivalent of a warm hug.

The lounge is your “log fire, long evening” space, complete with a show-stopping inglenook fireplace that deserves its own fan club. The dining room? Ideal for hosting everything from Sunday roasts to those “we’ll just have one glass” evenings. And the flexible sitting room/ground-floor bedroom opens to the garden through three sets of French doors — talk about a dramatic exit.

At the heart of the home, the farmhouse kitchen/diner brings all the rustic charm you’d expect: Butler sink, range space and room for everyone to pile in for breakfast. There’s also a handy office (WFH sorted), a utility room (because laundry never stops) and a ground-floor shower room.

Upstairs, two beautifully sized bedrooms await, along with a walk-in wardrobe and a family bathroom so charming it could feature in a cottagecore mood board — roll-top bath, high-flush cistern, dual-aspect windows… the works.

Outside, the rear garden is a slice of countryside serenity: mature trees, lawns, seating areas and quiet corners perfect for switching off. The large frontage gives you plenty of parking — ideal for guests or “Yes, I do have space for your car” moments.

And then there’s the annex. Two bedrooms, two floors, its own garden and private entrance — basically an entire bonus lifestyle. Whether it’s for family, guests, teens who need space, or that friend who always “just stays over,” this annex is the ultimate home upgrade.

Full of soul, full of space and full of possibilities, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly enchanting home with character in every corner the kind people talk about and post about.

Fobbing is all about heritage and history, with beautiful period homes dotted throughout and a village layout that still feels wonderfully traditional. It has that classic English village charm — the kind people describe as “straight out of a storybook.”
