Property Description
This exceptional Grade II Listed detached property, steeped in history and boasting an intriguing past, offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Maidstone's heritage. Hill House seamlessly blends the charm of its 600-year-old origins with the elegance of its Edwardian additions, creating a truly remarkable family home. Originally the residence of the High Sheriff of Maidstone, the property even retains its original jail cell on the lower ground floor, now cleverly repurposed as a wine cellar.
Approached through imposing black gates, a spacious driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a double garage with electric up and over doors. The garage also benefits from a storage room, toilet, and additional loft storage above.
Internally, the ground floor exudes grandeur. A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with a large reception room and downstairs toilet to the left, and another impressive reception room and conservatory to the right – ideal spaces for entertaining. The rear of the house, dating back 600 years, houses the entrance to the basement, dining room, kitchen, and utility room. The basement, formerly the jail, has been transformed into a versatile space encompassing a wine cellar, games/entertainment room, office area, and W/C. The dining room, renowned for hosting gatherings of up to 20 guests, showcases original beams, a fireplace, and an abundance of character. The kitchen, overlooking the beautiful south-facing wrap-around garden, conveniently connects to the utility room.
On the first floor, the historic rear section of the house accommodates two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The Edwardian front section boasts two further double bedrooms, each with private en-suite facilities. The spacious landing also features a remote-controlled electric staircase leading to the attic room, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and substantial eaves storage.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped wrap-around garden is a haven for any gardening enthusiast. A summer house and secure workshop provide further storage options.
Viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the unique charm and historical significance of Hill House, and the wealth of features it has to offer.
