Description

" Overlooking the Alkham Valley stands this attractive property with stunning rural views and 7.18 acres of paddocks and woodland. It is approached via a very long drive at the end of a private road so is very quiet and peaceful.

The exterior is attractive with elegant steps leading to the modern front door and opens to the double height entrance hall that includes a beautiful oak staircase, Kardean flooring and oak doors that flow through much of the property. The dual aspect lounge has a delightful fireplace and patio doors to a good sized conservatory. This, in turn, opens onto a block paved patio with steps leading down to the driveway and three garages and a carport as well as to the gate that opens into the paddocks.

The kitchendining room includes two sets of French doors to the decked terrace, a central island and contemporary units housing a variety of appliances with additional appliances in the large utility room adjacent to a shower room. From the kitchen there is a door through to a very large games room as well as a double bedroomstudy and a bathroom that could be converted into a separate annexe.

Off the galleried landing there is a superb contemporary family bathroom as well as four good sized bedrooms with lovely views including one with an en suite wet room and a walk in wardrobe.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with shrub and tree borders and with steps and a rockery from the terrace. There are adjacent paddocks as well as a riding arena, four stables a tackfeed room and some useful outbuildings.

What the Owner says:


This was my childhood home so I have lived here most of my life and was delighted to have the opportunity to extend and modernize the property in 2018. I will always have wonderful memories of living here but a change in family circumstances and wanting to downsize means that it is time for new owners to take over and enjoy the peaceful and quiet surroundings, the stunning views and everything we have done to create a very special home. It is ideal for anyone interested in equestrian activities and we have always had horses and ponies here. The location is delightful and the villages of River and Temple Ewell provide friendly communities. There are a number of activities in the River village hall as well as a Co-op mini market, a greengrocer, pharmacy and post office, while the local primary school is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. There is also a regular bus service between Dover and Canterbury where you will find excellent grammar and private schools. The area around River is delightful and comes with the accolade of being an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Kearsney Abbey Park and Russell Gardens are close by walks with the dog and children and the wildlife is second to none with a wide variety of birds alighting on the ornamental lakes with squirrels and other small animals frequenting the park. Motoring enthusiasts can enjoy racing at Lydden and sailors can join the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club while golfers have a variety of good choices.
