Situated within the heart of the Conservation Area of the historic village of Sutton Valence, The Swan is a Grade II listed property of impressive proportions with off road parking and stunning terraced gardens arranged over several levels and commanding far reaching southerly views over the Kentish rooftops and the Weald beyond.

This substantial home which has served as the village public house, has been extensively and sympathetically refurbished by the current owner, who has not only retained the integrity and character of this fascinating building but incorporated 21st century touches. During the works, dendrochronologists were able to date the original part of the building from some of the ancient timbers and beams, to circa 1413, when it would have been a medieval hall house, to which later additions have since been added.

Featuring good ceiling heights to the majority of rooms, it benefits from underfloor heating and engineered oak flooring to the principal reception/sitting/dining room.

The accommodation amounts to over 4,000 sq ft and comprises a reception hall which is open to the lovely southerly facing dining/sitting room area with inglenook fireplace and partial open stud walling through to the kitchen breakfast room. Also located off the reception hall is a second sitting room with painted beams, open fireplace and window seat and a versatile interconnecting family room. In addition, there is also a study/home office.

The kitchen/breakfast room has French doors which open to the parking and rear gardens beyond. This functional space has modern cupboards, a gas fired three oven AGA, a dishwasher and Neff ovens. Scope remains for potential purchasers to update. Off the kitchen, a rear lobby leads through to the utility room with space for white goods. Over the remainder of the ground and lower ground floor is a shower room, a cloakroom and two useful cellars.

A bespoke staircase with glass risers leads to the superb landing. Over the first floor there are four attractive bedrooms, all served by en suite bathrooms. On the second floor there is a further bedroom with en suite shower and access to a loft area.

Outside there is gated access to the parking area via a drive to one side of the house. The landscaped gardens are laid out in terraces, with 52 steps leading up through lawns, with various seasonal shrubs, roses and trees. The highlight are the wonderful views that can be enjoyed from these lovely gardens.
