A fine Grade II listed Georgian village house of excellent proportions with part walled gardens.
Poplar Hall is a distinguished Grade II listed Georgian residence, understood to date from 1757 with later additions, occupying an enviable position within the sought-after village of Appledore. Extending to over 6,300 sq ft, this substantial home offers beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors, together with a cellar.
Thoughtfully enhanced in recent years, the property successfully combines historic character with modern convenience, retaining a wealth of original features including decorative cornicing, panelled doors and elegant bay windows.
An impressive entrance hall leads to a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, providing exceptional versatility for both everyday living and entertaining. Each enjoys its own working fireplace, while the TV room benefits from direct access to the gardens.
At the heart of the home lies the kitchen, comprehensively refurbished in 2025 alongside the adjoining dining area and utility room. Designed with both style and practicality in mind, it features bespoke shaker-style cabinetry and a substantial central island with breakfast bar seating. A four-oven Everhot electric range cooker provides a focal point, complemented by integrated appliances including two dishwashers and a boiling water tap. Oak flooring, a Butler sink and attractive decorative tiling add character, while doors opening onto the terrace create a seamless connection between the house and garden.
The adjoining breakfast room is an outstanding entertaining space, flooded with natural light from a large roof lantern and wide bi-fold doors that open onto the wraparound terrace. Enjoying delightful views over the gardens and surrounding countryside, it offers an inviting setting for dining and social gatherings. A well-appointed utility room provides excellent storage and practical access to the outside.
The first floor comprises four substantial bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite featuring a brick fireplace, an en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower, and a private roof terrace overlooking the gardens. A beautifully appointed bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms on this floor, complete with a freestanding bath positioned to enjoy garden views and a separate shower. The second floor provides four further generously proportioned bedrooms and an additional bathroom, creating highly flexible accommodation. Secondary glazing to most windows and excellent storage throughout further enhance the practicality of the house.
Outside, double wrought-iron gates open onto a gravel driveway leading to extensive parking and turning area, together with a detached garage. The generous grounds are a particular feature of the property. To one side, a south-facing part-walled garden provides an attractive and sheltered setting, with a paved terrace leading onto level lawns framed by well-stocked borders. The gardens continue to the rear, where they adjoin neighbouring fields, creating an appealing backdrop and further enhancing the sense of space.
Poplar Hall represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Georgian village house of considerable character, offering exceptional living space and delightful gardens, all within one of Kent's most attractive village settings.
