Description:

LOT 1 - THE DEANERY Grade II listed on account of its important history and interesting architecture, The Deanery is an exceptional and intriguing home. The property has strong ecclesiastical connections and was for many years the country residence of the Deans of Canterbury Cathedral. The Georgian house seen today stems from a major restoration that took place in about 1738 and incorporates many features from the much earlier house on the site, including the walls of the Great Hall (built in 1303) and the crownposts from the roof of the solar (built in 1394). The house is approached over a gravel driveway that wraps around the converted brick barn and arrives at the main entrance, which is framed by the elegant eighteenth century six pillared porch. The former Great Hall is a magnificent reception hall and entertaining space and has a striking bifurcating staircase and period fireplace. There are three well-proportioned reception rooms, with oak flooring throughout and shutters to the windows. The farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted, with modern equipment. Beyond are a scullery, a utility room, a boot room and a dog room which lead to the kitchen garden. A second staircase is situated on the North side of the house, linking to the galleried landing overlooking the great hall. To the East of the house are three double bedrooms, all with sash windows, and a family bathroom. Within the West wing, the dual aspect principal suite is arranged across four rooms, one of which doubles as a fifth bedroom; the suite is currently arranged as a bedroom with doors to a west-facing balcony, a dressing room, principal bathroom and library, and a steam shower room.
