History buffs will be falling over themselves to get their hands on this six-bedroom property on the grounds of a Tudor castle.

The former stable has been converted into a family home and is just a stone’s throw from Lullingstone Castle near Swanley.

The Grade II listed building dates back to the 16th century and features original beams, a period fireplace and high ceilings.

It looks out onto a beautiful lake and the castle, which has been part of Kent’s history for centuries.

The first recorded mention of the estate was in 1279 when it was owned by former Mayor of London Gregory de Rokesley.

The manor house that now sits in the grounds was built in the 1500s and includes an outer gatehouse, a 120-acre park and the World Garden which boasts unique plant species from all over the globe.

The property, right next door to the castle and on the market for £1.5 million, offers six bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and two dressing rooms, and an open-plan kitchen with quartz worktops and built-in appliances.

There’s also a garage that has been converted into an indoor gym and cinema room.

In addition to the castle’s communal grounds, which include the lake and parkland, the property has two private gardens with patio terraces and bedded plants that are secluded from the rest of the estate.

There’s plenty of history on your doorstep with your neighbours at Lullingstone Castle but, if that’s not enough to keep you occupied, the towns of Swanley and Dartford, as well as Bluewater shopping centre, can be reached by car within 30 minutes.

Eynsford, a charming village with pubs, shops and rail links to London, is also within walking distance.
