Ein Historisches Denkmalgeschütztes Fachwerkhaus Der Klasse II Von Außergewöhnlicher Bedeutung.

Swanton Old House is a remarkable late 16th century timber-framed property, dating from around 1579 and reflecting the transition from the medieval hall-house tradition to post-medieval domestic planning. Rich in architectural character, the property displays striking jettied elevations, exposed oak framing and a wealth of historic detailing.

The house retains many original features, including impressive inglenook fireplaces, leaded-light windows and a brick-lined cellar, presenting a rare opportunity to own an important piece of Kent’s architectural heritage.

The ground floor accommodation is arranged around impressive reception spaces. The formal dining room and dual-aspect sitting room both feature magnificent fireplaces, creating warm and inviting environments.

The kitchen with views over the garden, has a Rayburn and traditional style cupboards, supported by an adjoining utility room, together with a larder and spacious boot room with cloakroom. A dedicated study provides an ideal space for home working or additional reception room, whilst the substantial cellar offers further storage potential.

The first floor is reached via a wide staircase rising to a galleried landing. There are five well-proportioned bedrooms, many showcasing the intricate timber framework of the building. The principal bedroom benefits from a dedicated dressing room, while this level is served by two family bathrooms and a shower room. All the bedrooms enjoy pleasing views across the property’s grounds or the surrounding countryside.
