Extensively remodelled six-bedroom family house in sweeping Elham Valley grounds..
Six double bedrooms; principal with dressing room and en suite.
Set deep in the Elham Valley, this extensively rebuilt and remodelled six-bedroom detached home combines period character with contemporary family living. Generous reception spaces—including a drawing room, dining room, study and light-filled orangery—flow from a central galleried hall, while a large kitchen with island and Aga anchors day-to-day life. Principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite sits alongside five further bedrooms (three en suite) and a useful cellar.
The grounds are a major asset: formally planted terraces, an orchard, wildflower meadow, wildlife pond and sheltered terraces create multiple outdoor rooms and deliver long-distance pastoral views across the Kent Downs National Landscape. Practical exterior features include a double car port with storage/room above and a block-paved driveway.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler (not connected to a community supply), has solid brick walls assumed without insulation, and double glazing installed before 2002. Broadband speeds are very slow and there is a medium flood risk for the location. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Overall this is a large, newly renovated family house offering significant lifestyle appeal for those seeking space, privacy and countryside views, but it will suit buyers prepared to manage rural services and longer-term energy/insulation upgrades.
