On the market for the first time in 50 years, Stone Hill Farm, outside the village of Sellindge, is a picture-perfect Grade II-listed Queen Anne house in need of updating and modernising.
The front door opens to a generous entrance hall with rooms leading off, which boast good proportions and historic details, including a large inglenook fireplace. Upstairs, over two floors, are five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The house handily comes with a one-bedroom cottage and a triple garage. Outside, gardens and land extend to 25 acres and include a tennis court (which could do with re-surfacing), pastureland and paddocks.
Ashford mainline station has services to London St Pancras (journeys take from 36 mins).
Stone Hill Farm is currently on the market via Strutt & Parker with a guide price of £1.75 million — see more pictures or enquire with the agent for further details.
