If a rural location is paramount, then look no further. This detached Grade II Listed country house is believed to date from the 17th century with later additions, in particular electricity in the 1980s. Once the farmhouse to the Hemsted Park estate, now the Benenden Girls School, the property sits centrally within the 1,000 acres of Hemsted Forest.

Exhibiting many character features including exposed beams and fireplaces on the inside, there are delightful established gardens and grounds on the outside, amounting to approximately 9.3 acres, together with numerous outbuildings including a barn and open wood store.
