Seaton, Ickham, Canterbury, CT3

The architectural influence is so apparent to me here and the riverside parkland is just idyllic -- Alex Davies, Managing Director

#TheGardenOfEngland

A fascinating former Coach House set in glorious parkland by the River Little Stour having been the subject of extension and re-imagining by the architect Anthony Mauduit.

The property is close to the idyllic Kent villages of Wickhambreaux and Ickham and has been in the current ownership since the early 1960s.
About 7.50 acres


The house
The original house was next to the river and was raised to the ground with the intention of constructing a replacement dwelling to the architect’s own design. It was subsequently decided to remodel and extend an existing Coach House within the grounds which is part of the building seen today along with an adjacent barn and car port which were added later.

The accommodation affords a versatile and flexible layout with a considerable Georgian architectural style influence, including high ceilings and large sash windows. There are a number of fascinating spaces including a large dual aspect drawing room.

The next chapter of ownership is bound to see an enhancement of the existing property and provides a rare opportunity to explore the scope for a remarkable home in a special location.

The Barn & Car Port
This building indicates that the original intention was for a later conversion or change of use which can be appreciated with an internal viewing. Possible uses might include an annexe, holiday accommodation or office space.

Situation
Seaton is a small hamlet on the periphery of the village of Ickham and close to the village of Wickhambreaux in Kent.
This idyllic rural locality is peppered with public footpaths providing access to some stunning walks and rides in the surrounding countryside including the Little Stour tributary which runs through the grounds of Seaton House.
The village of Ickham is regarded by many as one of the prettiest villages in East Kent and it has a historic church, well regarded pub The Duke William and a popular Spa.
Wickhambreaux is equally pretty and also has a pub The Rose Inn and a Primary school.
Wider local facilities can be found in the neighbouring villages of Littlebourne and Wingham whilst the city of Canterbury is within easy reach.
The area is well served by a choice of schools in both the state and independent sectors along with University campuses at Canterbury.
