For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in Green Street Green Road, Darenth, Kent, DA2£1,200,000

GUIDE PRICE £1,200,000 - £1,300,000 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 six-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.

Seller Insight    “The moment we first saw Walnut Tree House, we knew it was the one,” say the current owners of this Grade II listed home in Kent. “Nestled in the middle of its generous plot, with lovely views all around, it was everything we had dreamed of. Now, after several decades of calling it home, it is time to pass it on to a new family who will love it just as much as we have.” .    “This is a true family home, with wonderfully spacious rooms and an inviting atmosphere,” the owners continue. “The footprint has remained unchanged, preserving its charm, although secondary glazing has been added throughout to enhance warmth and comfort. Countless cosy winter nights have been spent by the log-burning fire in the dining room and the open fire in the lounge, making for an inviting retreat no matter the season.” .    Outside, the generous garden has been the heart of family life. “Our children, and now our grandchildren, have filled the space with laughter—playing rounders, splashing in the pool, and celebrating special occasions,” say the owners. “In fact, three of our children chose to host their wedding receptions here, making memories that will last a lifetime. The lawned gardens, beautiful flowerbeds, and sweeping driveway offer a stunning setting year-round, particularly in summer when everything comes into bloom.” .    The local area has much to recommend it, too. “Location-wise, this address is hard to beat,” say the owners. “Bluewater is just five minutes away for shopping, dining, and entertainment, with a range of shops in Longfield, too. For a peaceful weekend stroll, there are plenty of picturesque walks to choose from in Beacon Wood and Darenth Country Parks, both just a stone’s throw away. Road links are excellent, with the A2, A20, M2, and M25 all easily accessible. Ebbsfleet International, just 10 minutes away, offers high-speed rail services to London St Pancras, while Longfield station provides services to Victoria in around 30 minutes. Dartford station connects to both London Bridge and St Pancras, ensuring excellent commuting options. Education is another highlight, with nearby grammar schools including Dartford Grammar Schools for girls and boys, respectively, and Gravesend (co-ed from 16+) all known for strong academic achievement. Local state secondary schools include the Leigh UTC, with well-regarded private schools in nearby Rochester. For primary age children, the area is spoilt for choice, too.” .    “Leaving Walnut Tree House will be incredibly bittersweet,” the owners conclude. “It has given us a full, happy life, filled with family, love, and laughter. We hope the next owners will cherish it just as much as we have.” Entrance Hall 12' x 6' (3.66m x 1.83m). Oak door to side, secondary glazed Crittall window to rear. Tiled flooring. Beamed ceiling.
