House For Sale £1,600,000
A charming collection of period properties, including a medieval farmhouse, an attractive barn conversion and a stone lodge, within approx. 2.5 acres of exceptionally private gardens and grounds, in a magnificent rural setting, yet within easy reach of Ashford International Station.
Gibbons Brook Farm offers a rare opportunity to acquire three individual homes, along with an additional, self-contained holiday cottage, all set around a beautiful central courtyard, yet with their own outside space, allowing for collective, yet independent multi-generational living. The arrangement of the properties also lends itself to retaining one main residence, whilst running a variety of self-contained holiday lets (STPP), should someone so desire.
Shalom is a splendid Grade ll Listed farmhouse, with a handsome Georgian rear addition, creating a fusion of architectural style. The front section dates back to circa 1431 and consists of two, surprisingly light and airy, dual aspect reception rooms, with a wealth of exposed beams and timbers and a homely inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove.
To the rear of the house, an inner hallway with a terracotta tiled floor and a well-appointed cloakroom, leads to a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room and a pleasant sitting room. This has a lovely dual aspect, an ornate cast iron fireplace and fine views over the gardens. Completing the extensive ground floor accommodation, there is a wonderful sun room which spans the entire depth of the house.
On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to five bedrooms (two with en-suites) and a family bathroom. Another staircase rises to an impressive loft room, with a beautiful beamed ceiling, ideal for use as a games room or hobby room.
Barnhaven is an imposing stone barn, which dates back to 1833 and was converted into a rustic, yet spacious family home in 1988. The property is entered via an impressive entrance hall, with two grand reception rooms, an open plan kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room and shower room on the ground floor. On the first floor, a huge galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms, a study and a family bathroom. The main bedroom is a superb double room, with exposed stone walls, a dressing area and a large balcony which affords spectacular views over countryside.
Waggon Lodge is an attractive single storey character property, which offers highly versatile accommodation. This consists of two bedrooms, a bathroom, a sitting room and a spacious kitchen/dining room, with a useful utility room.
Finally, there is a superb single storey holiday cottage which inter-connects with Barnhaven, but can also be accessed independently.
