Description:

This Grade II listed house, built in the late 16th century, has been beautifully restored by the current owner, combining contemporary elements with its original character. The house has a separate pool house with two additional bedrooms, an indoor heated swimming pool and a steam room. An all-weather tennis court sits within the grounds along with a second outbuilding, currently used as a large office, a brilliant gym and a workshop with ample storage. Set in the pretty Elham Valley in Kent, the house is nestled within approximately 3.6 acres of private gardens, offering stunning views of the magnificent rolling countryside beyond. Setting the Scene The house underwent restoration in the late 20th century and then again by the current owners. The timber-framed structure with rendered infilling and plain tile roof is typical of its architectural period. The first floor features a characteristic jetty design supported by solid spandrel brackets. A modern addition to the house is a glazed garden room, which is used as a spacious and bright living area with garden views. Despite its contemporary elements, the house retains its historic charm with impressive inglenook fireplaces, original beams, and a complete four-light diamond mullion window on the first floor. The Elham Valley, situated in the North Downs, is a beautiful chalk valley shaped by the River Nailbourne. In the valley, a 22.5-mile walking route stretches from Hythe to Canterbury Cathedral. This path closely follows the path of the former Elham Valley Railway, which operated during the 19th century but ceased operations in 1947. The bridge connecting the house to the road was originally a railway bridge, as the railway line used to run along the bottom of the lower paddock.
