No Chain
A wonderfully unique historic 5 bedroom detached Grade II Listed moat house on a former moated site with an abundance of character features including honey oak beams, wide floorboards, sash windows, latch doors and wheat/rosette pargeting (ornamental plasterwork). The gardens are delightful extending to about 1 acre and there is a detached garage with workshop, an attached garage and off road parking for several cars.
In all about 1 acre.
Situated down a quiet country lane within easy walking distance of this popular village and civil parish located in the borough of Maidstone in Kent. Headcorn has a long history, with evidence of settlement dating back to Roman times. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. It boasts an excellent variety of independent shops, restaurants, and pubs as well as local amenities. The village has a primary school, dentists and a main Doctors surgery as well as a pharmacy.
Headcorn also has its own railway station with regular services to the City and the West End taking about an hour. The motorway is accessed at junction 8 of the M20.
Headcorn Aerodrome, also known as Lashenden Airfield, is located just outside the village. It is an historic airfield and hosts various aviation-related events and activities.
There are some excellent schools in the vicinity. In the state sector there are grammar schools for boys and girls in Maidstone and Ashford, and in the private sector independent schools in Ashford, Sutton Valence, Cranbrook and Tonbridge.
The Moat
The Moat is a substantial Grade II Listed period property (early to mid 16th Century). It was formerly a moated site with farmhouse and said to have a crown post roof and timber frame with ground floor red brick in stretcher bond with first floor tile hung (see listing NGR: TQ[use Contact Agent Button]).
The property was restored in the 1960’s and been extremely well maintained by the current owners for the past 21 years. There are some magnificent character beams throughout and some original floorboards. The house is a generous size extending to about 3317 sq ft/ 308 sq m internally.
On the ground floor there are 3 reception rooms, each with a feature fireplace. There is one gas fired log effect stove and two inglenook fireplaces both in working order. The kitchen/breakfast room was fitted out by JM Interiors in around 2006 and has a gas fired Aga and two electric hobs. It has granite worksurfaces, integrated dishwasher, space for a fridge/freezer and table and chairs. The utility room is a generous size with further storage cupboards (also by JM Interiors) and space/plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with a cloakroom. There is a door from the utility into the attached garage and also the study, perfect for working from home.
Upstairs, there is a feature beamed wall in the landing area. The master bedroom has an ensuite shower room with corner shower, w/c and wash basin. There are 4 further double bedrooms, two of which share/have access to the Jack and Jill dressing room. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms have ornate wheat and rosette plaster pargeting within the walls which were used to emphasise social hierarchy. There is also a separate family bathroom with bath, shower cubicle, w/c and wash basin (by Potts of Maidstone).
