With its origins as a medieval Wealden Hall House this fascinating 15th century Grade II Listed property is full of period features. The front exterior has traditional white clapboard walls, a first floor overhang, Kent peg tiled roof, chimneys and multi-pane casement windows. There is a spacious reception hall and dining area with oak flooring that flows through to the sitting room, an inglenook fireplace and doors to the garden, kitchen/breakfast room and study as well as stairs to the first floor.

The triple aspect living room has exposed ceiling beams, a Kingpost, fitted shelving, a door to the garden and an inglenook fireplace with a multifuel burner. There is a study with ceiling beams as well as a fireplace and about 15 years ago the current owners created a delightful extension. This includes a kitchen/breakfast room with a gas cast iron range, fitted units and stand-alone appliances, access to the rear terrace and space for a large table and chairs. There are steps up to a double bedroom with an en suite bathroom and an adjacent utility room.

The first floor includes a shower room, bathroom and three double bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms have wall beams and fitted cupboards while the triple aspect main bedroom also has wall beams as well as a floor to ceiling beamed area, fitted cupboards and a fireplace.

The rear of the house has a cat-slide roof, painted brick walls and a terrace bordered by a rockery and pond with steps up to the large lawn, surrounded by specimen trees and shrubs, a greenhouse and a large garden shed.

What the Owner says:

We moved here some 21 years ago because we loved the house and it was near our children's school but it is time for us to downsize but it has been a wonderful family home. Fordwich is famous for being the smallest town in England with its own town hall and includes the George and Dragon pub as well as the Michelin Star Fordwich Arms restaurant. Also within easy walking distance is Sturry with its station where the high speed train can whisk you to London in just over an hour as well as a pharmacy, post office, hairdresser, Co-op convenience store as well as Kings School Junior school and Sturry primary school, graded Outstanding by Ofsted. While the historic city of Canterbury is only five minutes' drive.
