Seller Insight
With origins in the 15th century, this beautiful Grade II listed family home, which boasts 2.2 acres of stunning gardens and grounds, sits tucked away on a quiet lane on the edge of the well-served village of West Kingsdown. It was the land that surrounds the house, and the fact that it gave us the ability to keep our horses at home that initially sparked our interest in the property,” say the owners. “Then, when we came to view it, the minute we set eyes on the house itself we were totally sold.

Seller Insight
We’ve relished the fact that when we shut the gate we quite literally feel as if we’re miles from anywhere, and when the sun is shining it’s like being on holiday! We’ve added a range of equestrian facilities, but we’ve also created lots of lovely areas for relaxing, for the grandchildren to play in and also space for alfresco entertaining. One of our favourite areas is the huge decked terrace overlooking the manege. We’ve installed a three and a half meter BBQ area, essentially an outdoor kitchen; there’s a swim spa, a hot tub and also a fire-pit house with seating and blinds that can come down to create a really cosy atmosphere. The property as a whole is amazing, and the location is a place where we’ve been able to enjoy all the benefits of countryside living, with all the convenience of having an array of well-served towns and villages within easy reach, as well as excellent transport links. It’s been ideal for commuting into London, but at the end of a hard day it’s (truncated)
