You would never know it was there.
Risden Walled Garden is situated in an old kitchen garden surrounded on all sides by a beautiful wall, reaching 15 feet high in places, but lowered on the south side to make the most of the views across the adjacent field. Set well back from the road down a gravel driveway and behind an electric gate, this property is secure for children and pets to roam freely and safely. Set in in the middle of about 0.7 of an acre of garden. This four bedroomed detached property is a traditional Colt house which you find all over Kent. The sense of privacy and security you get from the enclosed garden cannot be matched.
The property has no fewer than seven outbuildings, including a large greenhouse, entertaining area, two double garages, a large storage area and two secure store rooms. You will not be struggling for storage here! All together, there is around 150 sq metres (1600 sq feet) of storage (inc. Greenhouse).
