A handsome Grade II listed village house and ancillary accommodation in the heart of Boxley.
Court Lodge Farmhouse is a handsome Grade II listed property, believed to date in part from the 16th century with later 17th and 19th century additions, and benefitting from very well proportioned accommodation over three floors. This historic home, with its lovely old period fireplaces and abundance of timbers and beams, is said to have been built for Thomas Vicary, who was surgeon to King Henry VIII.
Immediately to the east of the principal house is a lovely former stable which was beautifully converted 7 years ago into attractive and versatile ancillary accommodation over two floors with views from the upper floor of the pretty 13th century church and beyond.
The main house presents excellent scope for updating and currently features three sizable reception rooms on the ground floor including a dining room, a study and, in the oldest part of the house, a lovely sitting room with inglenook fireplace and window seat. A further reception room/TV room is currently used as bedroom seven.
The characterful kitchen features old brick flooring and has an oil fired Aga, painted cupboards and a door leading out to the south facing gardens. There is space for various appliances and access to a utility room.
A shower room and a cellar benefitting from natural daylight complete the ground and lower ground floor accommodation.
Over the first floor are a total of six bedrooms, served by four en suite bathrooms and a family bathroom. Stairs lead up to an attic room with a door leading into a large attic space with potential to convert, subject to the necessary consents.
Court Lodge Stable has been stylishly converted incorporating a sitting and dining room, a most attractive kitchen featuring handmade cupboards, gas fired Aga and various appliances and doors to a decked terrace. There is a bathroom on the ground floor and on the first floor a lovely bedroom with wonderful views and en suite shower room.
Outside there is parking for both the main house and Court Lodge Stable. The well established part walled garden lies mainly to the south and has several small outbuildings used as bike and mower stores.
