Description

The Thatched House, Smarden is a wonderful example of a 15th century timber framed, two bay hall house, which has been designated as a building of special architectural interest and historic note and Grade II* Listed. The property is set amidst well established gardens and grounds of just over 3 acres, and it features a detached two bedroom cottage, a pretty period party barn/gym of good proportions, an outdoor swimming pool, garaging for several cars and former stabling.

The internal accommodation retains a wealth of charm and character, with an abundance of exposed timbers and beams and Kingpost to the principal bedroom. Reception rooms include a formal dining room and a very well proportioned sitting/family room/snug with impressive inglenook fireplace, inset wood burning stove and a garden outlook to three aspects.

The kitchen/breakfast room was refitted in 2018 by Kitchens Unlimited with shaker-style cupboards, breakfast bar, an electric AGA, AEG electric oven, induction hob and integral dishwasher. There is space for a fridge/freezer. French doors open to the terrace. Off the kitchen there is a triple aspect study with adjoining store room and a utility/boot room, fitted to match the kitchen with space for freestanding appliances.

On the first and second floors, the impressive main bedroom is vaulted and features exposed beams and a fine Kingpost, it benefits from a dressing room and an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms and a substantial attic bedroom five, all of which are served by a family shower room, and an en suite WC to bedroom two.

The Thatched House is approached via an electric wooden gate opening to a gravel drive and leading to an area of parking and turning and the detached garaging, suitable for a number of cars. Beyond this lies several stables, which are currently used for storage. The property nestles amidst attractive gardens with lawns interspersed with an array of seasonal shrubs, specimen trees, two ponds and a heated outdoor swimming pool with electric cover. Adjoining the gardens to the rear is a paddock.

A short distance from the house lies the excellent detached two bedroom single storey cottage, equipped with a fitted kitchen, shower room and sitting room. There is also a lovely timber framed barn which has been converted for recreational purposes, and currently serves as a gym/games room.
