House For Sale £550,000
Dating from the 18th century and found in the heart of Wye’s conservation area, Golden Square House is a charming Grade II Listed property. The Forge sits to the rear of Golden Square House and offers a great sense of volume with high vaulted ceilings. Both properties are detached, each with three bedrooms, and situated in arguably the best village in East Kent. There is a large drive with parking for two cars – a rarity for the centre of the village.
