5 bedroom detached house

Located in a quiet countryside location Wildacres is an elegant period family home built in the Kentish style in the 1930's sat in a substantial plot and providing an excellent mix of living and entertaining space with scope for re-design and updating in places alongside a newly refurbished annex on the western side of the house.

The property is approached along a well-tended and long hedge-lined driveway which arrives at a turning circle by the entrance to the house. Ample car parking is accompanied by a triple garage and shed/wood store on the northern side of the driveway.

Entrance to the house comes through a wood panelled entrance hallway with guest WC and cloakroom with parquet flooring and stairs to the first floor. A door leads directly into a dining room/snug/ office with south facing windows towards the garden. At the Eastern end of the house sits a kitchen (with north facing larder) alongside a dual aspect family room, utility room and garden side access. On the other side of the entrance hallway, with the continuation of the parquet flooring, sits the living room with feature fireplace and access to the south facing conservatory.

Also sitting on the ground floor, with its own front door, is located a modern annex, comprising a large double bedroom, new shower room and south facing living room with adjoining kitchen.

In the main house the stairs lead up to a landing running the length of the house. At the western end, with views over the garden, sits the master suite with shower room. Alongside a double bedroom also enjoys en suite shower facilities whilst the two remaining bedrooms upstairs share an independent bathroom (with both bath and shower). Ample storage is found throughout the house and the southerly aspect provides excellent light across the property.

Outside a well-tended south facing garden is set to lawn with a pair of terraces (one raised) on the south side of the house and accessed from the conservatory and the annex living room. A pathway leads to the entrance driveway whilst the fence line to the south of the property acts as the demarcation between the garden and the wider ground the property possesses. Numerous mature trees and shrubs surround the house allowing shade in the important places and privacy for the house. To the western side of the house sits a large play barn, perfect for future development (with current planning permission to convert to office and kitchen area) or use as storage/entertainment as required.

Ranged out on the south-west side of the garden comes the additional land with large barn/storage/stables (covering some 950ft2) and accessed through a gate in the fence line providing excellent privacy to the house.

Sitting in the countryside just to the east of Maidstone, alongside the Tudor Park Country Club and golf course and close to Leeds Castle (where a castle has existed since 1119 and was used later by Henry VIII as a home for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. ) the property is well located for local transport links with trains running to London from Maidstone, Hollingbourne and Harrietsham. The M20 is close at hand, linking the area with both London, the M25, Gatwick and Heathrow airports together with the rest of the country whilst the channel ports are also close at hand together with the Eurostar at Ashford International rail station just 18 miles away. Mainline train services run into London from Maidstone (Charing Cross in 52 minutes), Staplehurst (62 minutes) whilst the direct train from Ashford International reaches St Pancras in 38 minutes.
