#TheGardenOfEngland
An enchanting location for this four bedroom period house listed Grade II with a two bedroom cottage (annexe) situated close to the Belmont country estate and set in beautiful gardens surrounded by woodland and a haven for wildlife with no close neighbours. NO CHAIN
In all just over 1 acre.
The house is believed to have once been a Kentish Medieval Hall House and later two cottages. Listed Grade II, parts of the house are thought to date back to the 16th Century with later additions.
The accommodation is full of character including a pretty Inglenook fireplace within the sitting room complete with wood burning stove, exposed beams and Oak flooring. The dining room is also beamed and has an Oak floor along with the study. The kitchen was originally custom built and has a neighbouring breakfast room with wood burning stove. On the first floor, there are four comfortable bedrooms with one en-suite and a family bathroom. From many windows there are views over the glorious gardens and woodland backdrop.
The Gardens
The house is approached from a public footpath with vehicle access reserved for South Wilderton and a private five bar entrance gate leading on to a gravel forecourt with plenty of parking. From here, there is access to both the house and cottage entrances, with the cottage enjoying plenty of privacy from the house ideal for holiday letting/air bnb.
The gardens completely surround the house and are laid to lawns with well stocked beds and borders, clipped hedging and a sunny terrace. The lower part of the garden is divided by a high hedge separating a less formal vegetable with fruit gardens including a fruit cage. The lower part of the garden is thought to have once been used as a separate paddock and could easily be returned to this purpose if required. Towards the side boundary is a greenhouse and adjacent workshop with mower store and stable. Close to the house is a heated swimming pool with both an electric heater and wood burning option. Adjacent to the pool is a pool house with outside WC. The pool is screened by espalier apples of Bramley, Cox and Russet varieties.
Situation
The property is situated in a stunning location on the North Downs, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). South Wilderton is almost entirely surrounded by woodland providing considerable privacy and seclusion. The woodland is part of the 3,000-acre Belmont Estate the focus of which is an elegant Grade I listed 18th Century stately home designed by Samuel Wyatt and situated close by.
In addition to many walks and rides in the surrounding undulating countryside, Faversham Golf Course is nearby and the house about 2 miles from the A251 which provides an efficient route to the historic town of Faversham and to the thriving market town of Ashford.
Access to the M2 motorway at Junction 6 is also accessible connecting with the M25 and to the south via the A2 to the Cathedral City of Canterbury. All of these destinations offer high speed rail services (HS1) to London Stratford & London St Pancras International.
The surrounding area is well served by an excellent choice of schools both in the state and independent sectors, including grammar schools.
