Steeped in history and full of warmth, Pipers Forge is a substantial Grade II listed home dating back to the 1600s. Tucked away in the picturesque village of Nettleden, this beautifully preserved period property offers five bedrooms, elegant reception rooms, and glorious gardens across four distinct tiers — all combining to create a striking yet comfortable country home.

The property showcases its historic character at every turn, with exposed beams, leaded casement windows, wide floorboards, and stunning brick fireplaces. Yet it is just as much a home for modern living, offering natural light throughout and well-balanced spaces that flow beautifully between relaxation, entertaining, and everyday family life.

Downstairs, the generous sitting room is anchored by a magnificent inglenook fireplace, while the dining room and cosy snug are ideal spaces for family and guests. The kitchen/breakfast room is a highlight — with a charming country feel, a central island, Aga, and doors that lead directly to the garden patio. There’s also a cellar which is used as a gym, handy pantry, a utility area, and a cloakroom on the ground floor.

Upstairs, five spacious bedrooms are spread across the first floor, plus a vaulted loft room which is ideal as a studio or teenage retreat. Each bedroom has its own character, and many enjoy leafy views across the grounds. The principal bedroom suite with vaulted ceiling includes a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobes, and balcony, which is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee and soak up the views over the gardens. The family bathroom is stylish and well-appointed, blending traditional features with modern comfort.

Outside, the grounds are a real joy. A gravel driveway offers ample parking, with a double garage equipped with an electric car charger. The gardens are laid out in four delightful tiers:
