Dering Wood Lodge
Once part of the Dering estate, and reputed to be the rendezvous for the affair between King Edward VII and Alice Keppel, this Victorian lodge has been extended and improved over the years and now offers well-proportioned living accommodation. The kitchen has a vaulted ceiling with a large central island and a range of built-in units under a wooden work surface. The dining room is open plan to the kitchen and is home to a Rayburn. The sitting room is a welcoming space with oak floors and a fireplace with wood burner, providing a focal point. To the rear of the property is a further large reception room with a fireplace and offering views of the gardens. There is a study, utility room and a cloakroom / WC.
Upstairs, the master bedroom has a balcony overlooking the garden and woods and has a shower room en suite. There are four further bedrooms (one of which has a WC en suite) and these share the family bathroom.
Outside
To the front of the property is a gravel drive providing parking for several vehicles. The gardens to the rear are very private, surrounded by mature trees. To one side is a part walled garden with the heated swimming pool.
The ten acres of mature woodland are a beautiful feature of the property. A rustic path has been created that leads past the large pond to a delightful glade. There is access to the wider Pluckley Woods providing lovely walks.
