Located just outside of the village of Harrietsham which is a 5 minute drive from Leeds Castle and formerly part of the Leeds Castle Estate. Within 0.5 miles of the mainline station in the village.
Junction 8 of the M20 is approximately 2 miles distant and Maidstone Town Centre is approximately 5.
Offering all the character and features you would expect from the age including ; a magnificent 'cat slide' roof to the rear with a 'kent peg' tiled roof, exposed beams and fireplaces including a wonderful 'inglenook'.
Unusually the property does not have the limitations of listed status and sits on a wonderful plot of approximately 2 acres backing onto farmland with uninterrupted views of the North Downs.
An extensive shingle driveway provides parking facilities for over a dozen vehicles with two exits onto Holm Mill Lane.
There are numerous outbuildings which could be utilised in many different ways and they include :
A large timber workshop with power and light, detached double garage and a further single garage, large stable and wood store and additional sheds too.
In addition there is a large timber summerhouse which includes a kitchenette and shower room - ideal for kids sleepovers, visiting relatives or perhaps a holiday let.
There are formal gardens with shaped lawns, mature trees and a number of comfortable seating areas and a well stocked garden pond too.
At the far end of the plot is the paddock, obviously ideal for any horse lover or with a bit of imagination and expense an area for camping and caravanning holidays. The two separate driveways here could help a lot and clearly planning would be required to bring that to fruition.
The spacious accommodation on the ground floor includes a 24' drawing room with impressive inglenook and log burner. For entertaining there is an equally spacious dining room and a quality 20' bespoke fitted kitchen. Off the kitchen is the 16' conservatory which enjoys magnificent views over the garden, paddock and North Downs beyond. In addition there is a cozy snug and shower room.
