Description
Property Description: Guide Price £850,000 - £900,000. Hidden away at the end of a long private driveway and set within approximately 2.51 acres of gardens and woodland, Beakswood is a substantial detached family home providing privacy, character and exceptional potential in one of Kent's most desirable village settings.
Surrounded by mature trees, with its own pond, expansive lawns and a redundant stable block, this is a property that feels wonderfully secluded whilst remaining within easy reach of Biddenden, Cranbrook and the wider Weald. Whether you're looking for a family home, a lifestyle change or a countryside retreat with scope to make your own, opportunities like this are increasingly rare.
Extending to over 2,300 sq ft, the accommodation is both versatile and generously proportioned. A spacious entrance hall leads to an impressive triple-aspect sitting room centred around a striking inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting heart to the home. The kitchen and dining room overlook the gardens and connect effortlessly to the adjoining sun room, providing wonderful views across the grounds throughout the seasons. A spacious ground floor bedroom and family bathroom provide flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or a home office, while upstairs are four further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside: A standout feature of Beakswood are the substantial grounds, where the property truly comes into its own. The gardens gradually blend into established woodland, creating an ever-changing natural backdrop rich in wildlife. The pond adds to the peaceful setting, while the former stable block offers excellent storage and exciting potential for workshops, hobby space or conversion, subject to the necessary consents. Although the property would now benefit from modernisation, it provides an exceptional opportunity to create a truly individual country home without compromising on setting, space or privacy.
