Description

The property comprises a Grade II listed small country estate with 72 acres of magical gardens and grounds. The moated manor house is believed to date back to the mid 17th century and the various outbuildings, which include an oast house, brick-built dairy and Kent barn, offer huge development potential.

Internally, the house offers elegant and well-proportioned accommodation with a characterful double aspect drawing room with attractive brick fireplace at the front of the house, and a double aspect family room with a door to the side.

An inner hall gives access to an impressive sitting/dining room which enjoys beautiful bay windows overlooking the moat and French doors opening out to the lawned gardens. The kitchen has a range of fitted wall and base units, Aga cooker and windows and door to the side. A staircase from the reception hall also leads down to a generous cellar.

On the first floor, there are five bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is double aspect with an attractive bay window overlooking the moat and gardens to the rear and also benefits from an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. There is a further bedroom on the second floor as well as a snug/attic room and a spacious room used for storage.

Outside, the property is approached via a private lane which crosses a small stone bridge to reach the manor house's island with gardens. The outbuildings are spread across the surrounding acres.

Agent's Note:
A pair of semi-detached cottages are available by separate negotiation. Each cottage has two bedrooms, a private garden, and an open bay car port with attached store room.
