Nash House, Keston – A distinguished six-bedroom 16th-century residence with equestrian facilities and four acres of grounds

Nash House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial six-bedroom detached period home set within approximately five acres of private grounds in the heart of Keston. This historic property combines centuries-old character with impressive scale, offering equestrian facilities, extensive garaging, and versatile living space, all within easy reach of Central London.

Situated on one of Keston-s most sought-after roads, the property enjoys a semi-rural setting surrounded by open countryside, yet remains close to excellent amenities and transport links. Keston Village is just a short drive away and provides an array of country pubs, independent shops, and restaurants. Hayes station and West Wickham High Street are just over two miles from the property, ensuring fast and convenient access into London. The M25 and Gatwick Airport are also within easy reach, making this an ideal location for both families and commuters.

Believed to be the result of combining two 16th-century cottages, Nash House is centred around an attractive courtyard and displays an abundance of original features including exposed timber beams, inglenook fireplaces, and stone detailing. The accommodation is versatile and expansive, with a layout that blends intimate characterful rooms with grand entertaining spaces.

The ground floor comprises a striking Great Hall, renowned for hosting weddings and large gatherings, offering exceptional volume and scope for further enhancement. A formal dining room with wraparound windows and a prominent fireplace provides a refined entertaining space, while a peaceful library, well-planned utility room, two cloakrooms, storeroom, and internal garage complete this level.

The first floor provides six generously proportioned double bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. Several additional bedrooms are currently utilised as home offices, highlighting the flexibility of the accommodation, while one room includes a substantial storeroom that could easily be converted into a walk-in wardrobe. A family bathroom and a second staircase further complement the layout.

A particular feature of the estate is the magnificent barn, now known as “The Great Hall.” This versatile structure has historically hosted events but also offers exciting potential to be reimagined as a showpiece kitchen/family room, games room, or leisure space, subject to individual requirements.

Externally, the property is approached via two gated entrances and is surrounded by mature lawns and established planting that ensure privacy and seclusion. The grounds extend to approximately four acres and are ideally suited to equestrian use, with three stables, a tack room, paddocks suitable for year-round turnout, and a detached four-car garage. Ample off-street parking and extensive storage further enhance the property-s practicality.

Nash House represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a historic and highly versatile country residence within the Green Belt. With significant scope for sympathetic extension and modernisation (STPP), the property offers the chance to create a truly outstanding family home in a picturesque yet accessible location.
