Whiffins Farmhouse is a stunning Grade II listed property, steeped in history and believed to date back to the 16th century, with later architectural additions that have seamlessly blended different eras. Nestled in the heart of the popular village of Borough Green, this remarkable farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to own a character home of historical significance, now available with no onward chain.

The property is historically rooted in the agricultural traditions of Kent, originally serving as a working farmhouse in an area renowned for its farming and fruit growing. The farmhouse’s timber-framed structure, multi-pane windows, exposed beams, and feature fireplaces are all testament to the craftsmanship of the Tudor period, while later Georgian and Victorian additions have enhanced its charm. The house, which has been lovingly maintained over the centuries, presents a perfect combination of original period features and modern comforts, making it an ideal home for those seeking both history and practicality.

This versatile home, currently arranged as two separate living spaces with an annex configuration, could easily be returned to a single expansive residence. Its well-proportioned and light-filled accommodation boasts a blend of original character elements and contemporary updates. Highlights include a modern kitchen, tastefully designed bathroom suites, thumb-latch doors, and vaulted ceilings, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.

Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a central entrance hall with a cloakroom WC. The impressive double-aspect sitting room to the right showcases a stunning inglenook fireplace, complete with a wood-burning stove, making it the perfect reception space for cozy gatherings. The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys scenic views over the beautifully established rear garden and is equipped with an extensive range of wall and base units, along with integrated appliances. A convenient adjoining utility room offers additional storage and workspace.

The left-hand side of the property, once part of the annex, features a comfortable living room with its own wood-burning stove and French doors that open to a charming paved terrace courtyard. Adjacent to the living room is a small kitchenette, ideal for guest use or extended family. The substantial orangery beyond provides further access to the garden and allows an abundance of natural light to flood the space. The ground floor is completed by a guest bedroom with an elegant inglenook fireplace and an en suite wet room.

The first floor accommodates four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which offer built-in storage. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom featuring twin basins and a separate shower. A spacious hobbies/reading/playroom with eaves storage adds further flexibility to the layout, along with an additional family bathroom to serve the remaining three bedrooms.
Whiffins Farmhouse is set back from the road, approached via a shared carriage driveway, which leads to the house and the gated detached double garage. The garage, complete with a large storeroom above, offers potential for conversion to a home office, studio, or additional accommodation amongst other uses subject to the usual planning consent.

The farmhouse gardens are a particular highlight of the property, beautifully established with mature trees, well-stocked borders, and expansive lawns, providing year-round interest and privacy. The south-easterly facing paved terrace is perfect for al fresco dining, while two summerhouses within the garden offer additional outdoor living or storage space.

This extraordinary home is now seeking a new owner to embrace its rich history and make it their own, offering an unparalleled blend of heritage, charm, and modern living in the heart of a Kent Village.

Whiffins Farmhouse is ideally situated in the popular village of Borough Green, a location that combines rural tranquility with excellent accessibility. The village offers a variety of local amenities, including shops, cafes, and pubs, all within walking distance. Borough Green & Wrotham railway station is just a short stroll away, providing direct train services to London Victoria in under an hour, making it perfect for commuters. The nearby M20 and M26 motorways offer easy access to London, the coast, and other major towns. For families, the area is well-served by excellent schooling options, with several well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, including grammar schools in Tonbridge and Sevenoaks. The surrounding countryside also offers ample opportunities for outdoor activities, with scenic walking and cycling routes right on your doorstep.
