A Charming 17th-Century Farmhouse in England

Close to the charming village of East Farleigh stands a typical Kentish hall house with a hipped roof, jettied gable end, and exposed timber framing. This asymmetric 17th-century farmhouse shows its history in every room with exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, and exposed brickwork.

With so many historical details, you don’t have to go wild in the decor. The owners opted for neutral color tones in the furniture and decor, creating comfortable spaces where you’re surrounded by history.
