Description

This 14th-century Grade II* listed detached residence, Ruffyns, is a charming family home nestled in the village of Aldington. The property has a rich history, having been built for Robert Ruffyn, constable of Saltwood Castle, and later serving as a farmhouse. With almost 3,000 sq ft of characterful accommodation, it features a beautifully appointed self-contained annexe, Ruffyneshill Cartshed, which generates a significant additional income as a holiday let. The property has undergone sensitive enhancements, including re-roofing, new windows, and an energy-efficient central heating system. Original features such as latch key oak doors, exposed medieval brickwork, and rich historic beams have been meticulously restored. The property boasts a stunning medieval walled garden, a grand entrance hall, and a well-appointed kitchen breakfast room with high-end appliances. The first floor offers two bedrooms and a family bathroom, with potential to create four bedrooms with some adaptions. The Cartshed, a self-contained holiday let, has an open plan living room, kitchenette, and king-size bedroom, and benefits from low night-rate electricity thanks to an EV charging facility. The property also features a beautiful walled garden, far-reaching views, and a concrete slab prepared for tiling or a future construction, subject to planning consent.
