Designed and custom-built over 30 years ago, Windleaves is a substantial detached family house set in 5.42 acres of formal gardens, paddock and woodland that stretches to Hackington Road. The approach through electronic wrought-iron gates leads to a large oval driveway, triple garage and a Palladian-style entrance porch that introduce generously proportioned, light-filled rooms and a dramatic double-height reception hall.
The house offers flexible family living: a dual-aspect lounge with brick fireplace, an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, a family room with bar and reinforced floor for a pool table, plus a gymnasium and sauna. Four double bedrooms include an en-suite to the principal room; reception rooms flow to an extensive Indian sandstone terrace and private gardens — ideal for entertaining or country-style family life while remaining only a short drive from Canterbury and good local schools.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is freehold, heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators, and fitted with double glazing installed before 2002. The detached triple garage offers conversion potential subject to consent. The very large plot requires ongoing upkeep; buyers should allow time and budget for garden and woodland maintenance and for updating some services and finishes to modern standards.
This house will appeal to families seeking space, privacy and character close to city amenities and reputable schools. Investors or buyers wanting a hands-off property should note the maintenance demands and slower broadband speeds in the area; a viewing will best convey the scale, craftsmanship and lifestyle on offer.
