House For Sale £1,250,000
A charming and well presented Grade II listed former Wealden Hall House amid gardens of circa 0.75 acres located on the periphery of the village
Hope House is a stunning Grade II listed family home set a short distance from the centre of High Halden. The original part of the property is believed to date back to the 15th Century, later extended in the Georgian era and most recently in 2002.
With windows located at every turn allowing natural light to flood the house, this property exhibits a wealth of original features throughout including ceiling beams and timbers, wide floorboards to the original wing of the house, and a majestic inglenook fireplace in the sitting room.
The accommodation is predominantly set across two floors with a large attic above. On the ground floor there is a sitting room, kitchen, formal dining room, sun room, reception hall with allocated home office space and a cloakroom. Above is a master bedroom suite, four further bedrooms, TV room/second sitting room and family bathroom. There is also access to the attic which provides potential for conversion subject to any necessary consent(s).
The kitchen is the focal point of the home, arranged open plan to the informal dining space in the sun room. It is fitted with a good compliment of bespoke painted units under solid wood work tops, a central island unit, traditional butler’s sink, space for a Rangemaster stove, integrated dishwasher and fridge, with Karndean flooring underfoot.
The gardens are delightful and have been cleverly arranged in sections to provide areas of interest for all the family. There are rear and side terraces in which to enjoy al fresco dining and entertainment, areas at the top and side of the garden for children’s play equipment, and a central gravel pathway from the rear terrace that leads through a rose garden to a perfectly positioned bench in which to sit and enjoy the sunsets.
The property is approached through a five-bar gate arriving at parking for a number of vehicles adjacent to a double timber framed garage. To the rear of the garage is a separate garden store. There is potential to convert the garage and garden store, subject to planning consent(s), to add ancillary accommodation.
