The ground floor has three flexible, comfortable reception rooms. The sitting room has a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. The adjoining family room has reclaimed oak flooring, a vaulted ceiling and a dual aspect, including French doors opening onto the garden. There is also a library with wooden flooring and built-in oak storage.
The 22ft kitchen and breakfast room has wooden units, an integrated hob and double oven and a range cooker, as well as a fireplace with a wood-burner. The useful utility and pantry provide space for further storage and appliances.
There are two double bedrooms on the first floor, both of which have built-in storage. Also on the first floor there is a study, which could be utilised as a further bedroom, and a family bathroom. A separate staircase leads to the first-floor office, a light and airy room, which could also be used as a further bedroom.
The grounds are remarkable and provide an extraordinary setting for the house. Centred on the lake, they have been carefully nurtured over the past 25 years to encourage nature. The Burnan Brook (a seasonal stream flowing to the sea at Swalecliffe) runs along one side of the property and water voles have been seen there. Many different mammals, birds, invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles and fish together with wild flowers, native and woodland plants of all types thrive in this enchanting setting and, together with the orchard (with mature Bramleys and a great variety of rarer fruit trees of all types including apples, plums, cherries and pears) and vegetable garden, make an ecologically diverse setting for this family home.
A detached outbuilding close to the house provides a workshop, tractor store and greenhouse/potting shed and there are log stores close by. Beyond the lake is the brick built period stable, a substantial building with potential and believed to date from before 1800.
Denstroude is a picturesque rural setting, just north of the cathedral city of Canterbury.
