We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A beautifully presented and characterful family home, dating back to the 18th Century, thoughtfully extended and upgraded to create an exceptional blend of period charm and modern family living, set in the heart of the sought-after village of Lydden.
From the moment you arrive, this home immediately impresses with its sense of history and warmth.
Original features are evident throughout, most notably in the spacious lounge, where exposed timber beams dating back over 300 years create a truly atmospheric living space - perfect for cosy evenings or entertaining guests.
The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room, measuring over 6.6 metres in length, offering ample space for family life and social gatherings.
Finished to a modern standard while remaining sympathetic to the property’s heritage, this room flows effortlessly through to the large conservatory, which enjoys lovely views over the mature rear garden and surrounding countryside.
The ground floor further benefits from a separate study, ideal for home working, a cloakroom/W.C, and excellent practical space including a garage and off-street parking.
Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with four generous double bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom complete with its own en-suite.
The remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned and served by both a family bathroom and an additional shower room, making this an ideal layout for growing families or visiting guests.
Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight - featuring a hardstanding patio area surrounding the conservatory, mature planting, fruit trees, and lawned sections, all creating a private and peaceful space to relax or entertain while enjoying far-reaching countryside views.
Located in the highly regarded village of Lydden, the property is perfectly positioned for easy access to the A2 dual carriageway, providing excellent links to Dover, Canterbury and beyond.
