Description

Guide Price £500,000 - £600,000

Believed to date from the early 16th century and understood to have originated as a traditional Wealden Hall House, with a substantial Victorian extension added during the 1870s, The Old Post Office is an exceptionally rare Grade II Listed detached residence occupying approximately a quarter of an acre in the heart of the sought-after village of Shorne. Offering approximately 3,245 sq ft (301.5 sq m) of versatile accommodation, this remarkable home combines centuries of architectural heritage with an exciting opportunity to sympathetically enhance one of the area's most distinctive period properties.

Wealden Hall Houses are among the South East's most treasured historic buildings, renowned for their medieval timber-framed construction, impressive open hall design and wealth of original craftsmanship. The Old Post Office retains much of this character, with a fascinating blend of Tudor origins and Victorian additions creating a home of exceptional individuality and historical significance.

The accommodation is both extensive and flexible, ideally suited to growing or multi-generational families. Arranged over several levels and served by two separate staircases, the property offers two generous reception rooms, a spacious kitchen, a ground floor wet room, an office or salon, a useful storeroom with both internal and external access, and a cellar beneath the principal reception room complete with power and ventilation.

The first staircase serves two bedrooms before continuing to an additional attic bedroom, while the second staircase leads to two further bedrooms, the family bathroom and two additional attic rooms, providing a total of seven bedrooms and offering a wealth of possibilities for modern family living.

Externally, the property enjoys mature gardens extending to approximately 0.25 acres, together with an attached single garage, driveway parking for two vehicles, a garden shed, former flour store, and external power and water supply. Listed Building Consent has already been granted to convert the flour store into an additional en-suite or bathroom, while further consent is also in place to install two en-suite shower rooms within the main house and sympathetically refurbish the existing family bathroom, allowing purchasers to continue the property's careful evolution.

The home has already benefited from significant investment, including a comprehensive rewire, replacement gas boiler and hot water system, together with roof repairs. Consent has also been secured for re-rendering and repairs to the front elevation. Whilst the property would now benefit from a programme of sympathetic updating and cosmetic enhancement, it offers an outstanding opportunity for to restore and personalise an important historic home while respecting its unique heritage.

The property's substantial accommodation and dual staircase layout may also lend itself to reconfiguration and, subject to the necessary Listed Building Consent and planning permissions, the potential reinstatement of two separate dwellings. This offers an exciting prospect for buyers seeking a restoration project with long-term flexibility or investment potential.

Perfectly positioned in the centre of the highly regarded village of Shorne, residents enjoy a welcoming community atmosphere, a popular village pub, local shop, church and village green, together with beautiful surrounding countryside and woodland walks, including nearby Shorne Woods Country Park. The property also offers excellent connectivity, with easy access to the A2 and M2, placing the M25 and wider motorway network within convenient reach. High Speed services from Gravesend station provide journeys to London St Pancras in around 25 minutes, while Ebbsfleet International offers further high-speed rail connections, making this an exceptional home for commuters seeking the charm of village life without compromising on accessibility.

A home of considerable provenance, generous proportions and immense potential, The Old Post Office represents a truly unique opportunity to acquire and sensitively enhance one of Shorne's finest historic residences.
