Walnut Tree House, formerly known as Crowhurst Farm, is a circa 17th century Grade II listed country home. Set back from the road beyond a green, it exudes historical charm and character. Originally listed in 1982 this substantial 5 6 bedroom residence showcases an abundance of period features, including exposed oak beams, inglenook fireplaces and vaulted ceilings. Some beams even bear marks carved into lintels during the 1600 s to prevent evil spirits from entering a house via the chimney. The property s ground floor accommodation offers 2 reception rooms, a study home office, a kitchen breakfast room with walk in larder, completed by a separate utility room. The 5 6 bedrooms are laid out over 2 floors and are complemented by a family bathroom plus an en suite shower room to the principal bedroom. The house is accessed by a sweeping driveway with two entrances leading to a triple garage and ample parking. Set on a generous 0.61 acre plot, the mature gardens are mainly laid to lawn and adorned with established plants, ornamental trees, an original well now filled in and a lovely swimming pool. The property benefits from far reaching views over adjoining farmland. Internally modern conveniences include central heating, bespoke secondary double glazing and a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances.

Historically, the Crowhurst family farmed this land for over a century cultivating crops such as potatoes, cabbages, beans and hay and maintained a herd of Ayrshire dairy cows. They bottled milk on site for local delivery and later transitioned to egg farming, also operating a farm shop offering fresh produce. The farm also played a role in supporting the local community evidenced by the Crowhurst Farm Mission, which contributed to the area s hopping heritage.

The property is ideally positioned within a sought after semi rural location, offering a peaceful countryside setting while maintaining excellent connectivity. Local amenities, including shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities, can be found in the nearby villages of Longfield and Dartford with Bluewater a short drive away. The area is well served by reputable schools, with both primary and secondary options available, including highly regarded Kent Grammar Schools. For commuters, Walnut Tree House benefits from easy access to the A2, M20, and M25 motorways, while Ebbsfleet International, Dartford, and Longfield stations are within easy reach, offering direct links into London. This property offers a rare opportunity to own a historic home with modern conveniences, rich heritage, and excellent accessibility.
