"Queenhythe is one of those houses that you feel the history of the moment you arrive. There’s a real sense of permanence and quiet significance to it, yet inside it feels remarkably comfortable and easy to live in. The balance between preserved period character and detail, and thoughtful modern updates has been handled beautifully over the years." Anthony Brown - Chantries & Pewleys
Queenhythe was first recorded around 1680 and served as one of the area’s principal estates, comprising a substantial farm house and extensive farmland. Today the Grade II Listed property presents as a beautifully maintained, generously-proportioned family house, blending exceptional period character with the comforts and amenities for modern-day living, all set within mature, well-maintained gardens. With its striking red brick elevations and clay tile roof, Queenhythe provides the character expected of a house of such age heritage, with an abundance of period features respectfully preserved by the current owners who have enhanced the property over the last 30 years to create a comfortable, updated family home.
Queenhythe offers spacious well-connected living spaces, not often found in properties of this heritage, which makes it ideally suited to the needs of the modern family. The house provides multiple reception and living areas, with the main reception room featuring original exposed beams and a large inglenook fireplace, which feeds into an ornate chimney stack, with a traditional hood and elegant cast iron fireback. The sitting and dining rooms offer cosy living spaces and are interconnected, being perfect for entertaining, again with open fireplace and exposed beams in the dining area.
The kitchen has been extended and fully re-modelled by the current owners to provide a spacious high quality, well-appointed kitchen / informal dining space. This features a gas-fired range, extensive worktop space, a breakfast bar and ample storage. Just off the kitchen is the breakfast room which features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and flagstone floor. The breakfast room leads out onto a broad stone terrace, ideal for eating al-fresco, and opens onto the extensive private rear garden. In addition to the various living areas, there is a study to the rear of the kitchen which can alternatively be used as a fifth double bedroom. A rear hall connects the various living areas and provides access to a modern shower room including a downstairs WC.
Upstairs, the spacious principal bedroom measures over 250sqft with built-in storage and a useful wash hand basin closet. There are three further double bedrooms upstairs - two equipped with wash hand basins, and a family bathroom.
Attached to the house are two spacious garages providing undercover parking, or additional work or storage space. The property has a gated courtyard/driveway, providing off-street parking for up to 5 vehicles, and direct access to the garages and gardens. There are well-established gardens to the front and rear of the house. The main garden wraps around the side and rear of the house, giving a variety of spaces all encompassed by mature green borders and specimen trees, which all combine to offer excellent degrees of privacy. At the far end of the garden are two summer houses (one an historic revolving summer house) enabling an attractive view back across the lawns to the house. There are also two garden stores. In all, the plot extends to 0.35 of an acre.
The house benefits from previously approved planning permission (valid to October 2025) to add a new en-suite bathroom to serve Bedrooms 2 and 3, re-model the front hallway and staircase, and a single storey in-fill extension to the rear.
The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.
