Applegarth is a Grade II* listed family home, believed to have origins in the Medieval period, with 17th, 18th and 19th Century additions. The building is of banded flint and stone construction, extended by a chalkstone and brick dressing addition, all topped with a continuous thatched roof which was updated in 2026 . The double garage provides storage and self-contained ancillary accommodation.

The property benefits from gardens, land and a heated swimming pool. The property was re-thatched in Summer 2026.

This period family home provides great room sizes and period features. Historic character includes exposed beams, a fine stone fireplace with moulded arch and jams and wine-glass stops and a duck’s nest cast iron fireplace.
