6 bedroom detached house

Located in an attractive rural setting this elegant and recently refurbished 17th Century Grade II listed manor house sits in attractive south facing gardens with a range of outbuildings suitable for future development. The property has been immaculately updated by the current owners and provides an excellent mix of living and entertainment space; with a large light and bright fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room (with wood burner) with accompanying utility room and boot store with separate access to the garden. A south facing sun room with large windows then also provides access out onto the gardens.

The entrance hallway sits in the middle of the house and provides access to all the reception rooms including a large formal living room with inglenook fireplace and door to the garden. A dining room/snug/children's play room sits between the drawing room and the kitchen/breakfast room alongside the rear staircase. Completing the ensemble on the ground floor a study and downstairs cloakroom/WC sit alongside access to the cellar which has numerous sections; perfect for storing wine.

The bedrooms and upstairs have been remodelled to give a wide range of large bedrooms, many benefiting from dual aspects and en suite facilities whilst at the top of the house additional bedrooms are accompanied by a large loft, perfect for additional storage. Five large double bedrooms sit on the first floor with the master suite sitting across the width of the building with a wonderful en suite bathroom/shower room and ample storage. A guest suite sits at the east end of the house, also with its own en suite whilst a family bathroom and separate WC serve the other three bedrooms on this floor. On the top floor a 6th bedroom is found alongside a study/"sewing room" and two large loft store rooms.

The well-tended gardens sit to the south of the building and are mainly set to lawn but include a number of beds and trees whilst a paved south facing terrace is perfectly set for al fresco dining with access to both the formal drawing room and the kitchen/breakfast room. The outbuildings include a large period framed Kent barn covering some 2400ft2 and ideally placed for development into additional accommodation (subject to the appropriate consents).

An additional workshop and single garage sit in the grounds alongside a triple garage (set as a double and separate single) which gives access out to the entrance driveway; entered through a pair of wooden gates and set as a gravel turning circle with exterior lighting and ample exterior parking.

The Manor is ideally located for local communications links especially with access to London (Ashford International to St. Pancreas in 38 minutes, Harrietsham to St. Pancreas in 1hr 12m and Headcorn to Charing Cross in 1hr 7m) and the Channel ports (both via the M20 and the Eurostar).

Local amenities are provided in nearby Harrietsham, noted in the Domesday book, with a selection of shops and amenities. Both Maidstone (to the west) and Ashford (to the east) provide a wider range of amenities whilst Canterbury lies further down the M20 and Sevenoaks sits to the west closer to London. The M20 then links with the M25 providing access to the international airports of Gatwick and Heathrow together with access to the wider UK motorway network.
