Originally The Swan public house this elegant historic home sits in the heart of the popular village of Sutton Valence. Dated to 1413 (although it has been reputed that there was a coaching inn on this site from 1348) the property was originally a substantial Wealden Hall House and has undergone a complete renovation programme including re-wiring throughout together with a new central heating system.

The house remains centred around the original layout and with a clear nod to the history of the property; from the exposed kingpost on the first floor through to the restored period features throughout. Originally a grand Hall House with three fireplaces in the centre, the main living room is focused on the grand inglenook fireplace in the main salon/living room. With the original window etchings still in place the south facing aspect provides a light and bright living and entertaining space. Brand new oak floorboards run throughout this living area. The house had been taken back to bricks as part of a complete refurbishment and one of the original features to have been reproduced is the seating area for nobility with its distinctive indoor canopy.

On the western side of the house is located a study with internal staircase to a first floor (originally an external staircase) bedroom. The roof beams are distinctly different to the rest of the house in this room indicating it had been built to carry increased weight on the floor above. A guest WC and entrance to the cellar below (dry with ample head height and perfect for wine and storage) bring you round to the kitchen area at the rear of the house.

The kitchen runs along the width of the rear of the main living room and opens out onto the stone terrace and off street parking area. A well sized utility room houses a new boiler and zoned heating system.

On the eastern side of the house a further family sitting room/snug/library (the pub's original dining room) together with a further living room; perfect for a family room/children's playroom or even a gym area. At the rear of the house a further downstairs WC and shower room are found alongside excellent additional storage and a rear entrance/boot room.

The house has three staircases, the main one running from the entrance hallway and built in a modern style yet sympathetic to the original property. A lofted landing/reading room with exposed kingpost then acts as a gate way to the main bedrooms on the first floor. A master suite, again with lofted ceilings, sits alongside a further bedroom and bathroom on the western side of the house whilst a further large suite links to the rear landing where a 4th bedroom with bathroom is found. A 5th bedroom with accompanying shower room completes the ensemble on the 2nd floor.

The house benefits from ample off street car parking and a large terrace for al fresco dining and entertaining. A barn (the former stables), with potential for updating into possibly a gym/play-barn/summer kitchen stands between the house and a magnificent four terraced garden with far reaching south facing countryside views. Distinct spots for dining, sundowners and views are set as the garden rises over the village and the Weald.

The Swan is located in the heart of the historic village of Sutton Valence where there has been a settlement since 814 and was owned by the brother of King Harold before his defeat in 1066. The village includes a Post Office and two local pubs.

The village is ideally located for local transport links (with trains running from nearby Staplehurst (62 minutes to Charing Cross) and Headcorn whilst the nearby M20 links easily to the channel ports and provides access to the M25, Heathrow and Gatwick airports, London and the wider UK motorway network.

The village is well located for some excellent schools in the area including the local Sutton Valance Independent School, some excellent Grammar schools in nearby Maidstone and Cranbrook School to the south.
