DESCRIPTION
White Lyon House is a Wealden house built in the 1400s during the height of the cloth trade in Marden. The property is full of history, and it is believed that the house was involved in the cloth trade at some stage. There is also the possibility of it having been a former public house and school.
The property is currently arranged as two dwellings but could easily be reinstated as one substantial family home. The ground floor of one part offers a reception hall/study area, snug, dining room, and kitchen. Additionally, there is a family room approached through the front door, sitting room, dining room, and kitchen.
Two staircases serve the property, providing access to the bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, together with four further bedrooms, totalling six bedrooms arranged over two floors.
We recommend an internal inspection to fully appreciate what is on offer with this fine property and its wealth of original features.
There is an area of frontage extending to the side. Historically, the property enjoyed an area of courtyard with workshop. The main gardens lie to the side and rear and are laid mainly to lawn with established hedging, bushes, and patio areas.
There is a separate garage with hardstanding for cars and access via electric gates. The first floor of the garage has been converted into useful storage space/potential guest bedroom.
LOCATION
The property is set in the centre of the popular Wealden village of Marden, with its range of local shopping facilities including village stores, butchers, bakers, post office, petrol station, and shop. There is an excellent primary school in the village and private schools in surrounding villages and towns (Sutton Valance School, Bethany School, Dulwich Prep School, and Cranbrook Grammar School).
The mainline station offers commuter services to London Charing Cross and Cannon Street (approximately 50 minutes). The County Town of Maidstone is approximately 8 miles away, providing a wider range of leisure and shopping facilities.
