5 bedroom detached house for sale

An awe-inspiring 5-bedroom double fronted detached house, featuring almost 2,000 sq ft of internal living space within the highly desirable Hamlet of Broad Street near Hollingbourne, dating back to the 16th and 17th century, formally part of Dame Norton's charity as a working farm and owned by the current occupiers for 45 years.
