3 bedroom character property for sale

A fantastic opportunity to purchase an individual and UNIQUE property situated in a delightful village, nestled in the heart of the Kent countryside. This Gothic style property is currently a mix of both commercial and residential use and has potential for a variety of uses. This is an on-going project waiting for someone with the passion to take it to the next level. There is planning approval to convert the first floor into residential use with the ground floor remaining as a community or events venue. The conversion is currently underway and is partially complete. The planning approvals can be seen on the Maidstone Borough Planning web pages under ‘The Old School Hall, Lower Road, East Farleigh, ME15 0JL’

This really is an almost unique opportunity to purchase a detached, Grade II, Ragstone property next to a commanding church and having lovely views over the adjacent River Medway Valley.
So, what’s on offer? On the ground floor there is a huge events room, which is over 54ft in length! A communal kitchen and a fantastic cloakroom with an atrium letting in lots of natural light. The next floor is approached by a separate entrance and magnificent stone staircase and leads to a partially converted residential area, with another huge room measuring over 54 ft. Then there is another room that is suitable for a kitchen, a bathroom and further stairs to a mezzanine bedroom, with en-suite shower room. In total there is approximately 3086 square ft of accommodation.

What probably most impressive about this property is the number of original features that are still intact and how much the windows let natural light just pour inwards, flooding every room. Outside there is parking for several vehicles and the back door leads to a communal courtyard with its views over the adjoining Church and the River Medway Valley. The view over the river with the sun setting in the evening is beautiful and a joy to behold.

East Farleigh is located on the south side of the River Medway and is about two miles upstream form the heart of Maidstone which is not only the county town of Kent but has historical and geographical importance. There is a grade 1 listed bridge in the village which is reputedly built in the 14th Century. Transport links to Maidstone and surround area are easily reachable by car and the village also has mainline railway station, together with a village school making it very popular for young families. There is a regular bus service into Maidstone Town centre.

This property is steeped in history and, all in all, if you are looking for something different, with character and huge potential, then call us now to arrange a viewing.
