Original features are evident throughout, most notably in the spacious lounge, where exposed timber beams dating back over 300 years create a truly atmospheric living space — perfect for cosy evenings or entertaining guests.<br/><br/>The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room, measuring over 6.6 metres in length, offering ample space for family life and social gatherings. Finished to a modern standard while remaining sympathetic to the property’s heritage, this room flows effortlessly through to the large conservatory, which enjoys lovely views over the mature rear garden and surrounding countryside.<br/><br/>The ground floor further benefits from a separate study, ideal for home working, a cloakroom/W.C, and excellent practical space including a garage and off-street parking.<br/><br/>Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with four generous double bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom complete with its own en-suite. The remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned and served by both a family bathroom and an additional shower room, making this an ideal layout for growing families or visiting guests.<br/><br/>Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight — featuring a hardstanding patio area surrounding the conservatory, mature planting, fruit trees, and lawned sections, all creating a private and peaceful space to relax or entertain while enjoying far-reaching countryside views.<br/><br/>Located in the highly regarded village of Lydden, the property is perfectly positioned for easy access to the A2 dual carriageway, providing excellent links to Dover, Canterbury and beyond.
