An exceptionally attractive Grade II listed manor house, dating back to the 15th century, with an adjoining cottage, offering over 8,500 sqft of accommodation in total, set within approximately 14 acres of picturesque grounds, and conveniently located near the historic village of Lenham.
Tenure: Freehold. EPC rating: TBC. Council Tax Band: H.
SUMMARY
This distinguished property, recognised for its architectural and historical significance, is rich in period character, featuring an abundance of exposed timber beams and a striking Dragon Beam in the Drawing Room.
The main house provides extensive and versatile living space, including an entrance hallway, six reception rooms, a kitchen, laundry room, larder, boiler room, five cloakrooms, seven bedrooms, and four bathrooms. The entire second floor can potentially serve as a self-contained apartment. The attached cottage comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, study, cloakroom, three bedrooms, and a family bathroom. It also includes an adjacent barn, currently used for storage but ideal for conversion into an annexe or home office, subject to obtaining the necessary listed building consents.
Externally, the property is accessed via an impressive, gated driveway that meanders through the gardens leading to the front of the house. The grounds feature formal lawned gardens, rolling paddocks, a lake, and a disused outdoor swimming pool, which has lapsed planning permission for the construction of a fabulous oak framed building to enclose it.
Situated on a quiet country lane to the west of Lenham, this property enjoys a serene rural setting surrounded by gorgeous countryside, offering an array of walking, cycling, and horse-riding opportunities.
The property presents an exciting opportunity for purchase at a reduced price with less land. Additionally, there is the option to purchase the main house without the attached cottage. Please contact us for more information.
