Russell House is a substantially restored four‑storey Georgian residence that combines period character with modern living. High coved ceilings, original sash windows, impressive fireplaces and panelling have been carefully retained, while the owners have installed contemporary comforts including a fitted kitchen with range cooker, utility/boiler room, and a Swim‑Spa on the rear terrace. The property is supplied by its own spring water well and treatment facility.
The house provides flexible family accommodation across approximately 3,832 sq ft: six double bedrooms, three bathrooms, reception rooms including a large dual‑aspect living room, snug/office and generous basement family/games rooms and gym. The double garage with hayloft and private driveway offers parking and scope for conversion subject to listed‑building and planning constraints. There is also potential for a roof terrace on the second floor.
Outside, the mature, private garden features a large terrace, pergola ‘rose walk’, summerhouse, fruit trees and lawn, with gate access to a public footpath. The village setting on The Street gives easy access to Sandwich, nearby primary schools and the high‑speed rail link to London, while broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II listed, so alterations will require listed‑building consent and may be difficult or costly. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated in places; while the property has been newly renovated, maintenance of historic fabric and potentially higher council tax should be factored into running costs. The plot is described as small relative to the house footprint, so outdoor space is private but not extensive for large expansion.
