Description

Recently refurbished to an exceptionally high standard, this beautiful house in leafy Kent seamlessly blends old and new elements in perfect harmony. Original features such as stained glass windows above the main entrance have been retained, and services have been modernised with new electrics and heating all unfolding over more than 20,000 sq.ft. of total built space. Enjoying a superb, elevated setting with 45 acres of gardens and lightly wooded grounds, High View has some of the most breath-taking views in southern England. The property also includes two additional secondary properties ideal for guests or staff and affording it an unusual level of privacy.

Restored to an exceptional standard, High View offers an outstanding finish, sympathetic to its historical architecture yet embracing the requirements of modern day living. An elevated entrance porch opens onto a vast entrance hall, which is overlooked by a galleried landing on the first floor. The open plan kitchen has bi-folding doors, Gaggenau appliances, marble worktops, a large dining table, and a sitting area. Either side of the kitchen is a formal dining room and a drawing room, both with uninterrupted views across the grounds. The main house benefits from two studies at either end of the ground floor, with an additional sitting room which is linked to the formal dining room. The utility room, boot room and two guest cloakrooms are also located on the ground floor.
The sweeping staircase leads to the galleried landing on the first floor, where there are four ensuite bedroom suites, including the impressive principal suite which consists of two bathrooms, two dressing rooms, and a roof terrace offering spectacular views of the grounds. Two guest suites are in the east wing of the property and include dressing areas and bathrooms with fitted spa baths and separate showers. One further bedroom suite is located to the west of the property on this floor.
A separate staircase further along the galleried landing, leads to the second floor with two self-contained apartments in each wing. Each compromise two-bedroom suites with ensuite bathrooms, kitchen areas, and utility rooms and share a music room and open plan entertaining space.
In the lower ground floor is a substantial wine cellar designed to host wine tasting events, along with a separate kitchen. There is a boot room with a dog shower and an enclosed outside dog run. There is also a gym and leisure facilities including a sauna. A gun room and two further storage rooms are also located on this floor.

The estate is accessed via dual electric gates, allowing the main house to be secluded from the two other properties included in the sale, The Roundel and The Lodge. High View parking consists of four car ports, subtly carved into the hill. The integrated garage offers parking for a further six cars.
High View is situated at the top of a dramatic escarpment, with its beautiful gardens rolling down towards a lake and woodland. The property is surrounded by mature trees affording a high level of privacy. The formal walled gardens are lined with Yew hedging and are predominantly south facing. A zip wire on the terrace leading down to the lake provides entertaining for family and friends. The grounds have various walks offering fabulous views back to the house, along with tracks for vehicular access.

There are two excellent secondary properties on the estate. The Roundel has an open-plan kitchen, sitting, utility room and dining room, together with a snug and a guest cloakroom and two bedroom suites. Outside is a double garage, studio and a good sized garden. The Lodge guards the entrance to the property and is a substantial detached house in its own right and also presented in good decorative style. The cottage is also open plan, with a kitchen, dining area and spacious sitting room, utility room and study. On the first floor are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
