House For Sale £850,000
Warehorne Road, Hamstreet
Property Description: Guide Price £850,000 - £875,000. This Grade II Wealden Hall House is believed to be the oldest in the village of Hamstreet having been built circa 1450. Bursting with charm and character, this period home has wonderful features such as renovated exposed beams and brickwork, high ceilings and feature fireplaces and has undergone some extensive refurbishment in recent years. You are welcomed into the house by the grand entrance hall and are straight away greeted by these original features and the stunning Milan tumbled limestone from Mandarin Stone. To the right of the entrance hall is the beautifully lit living room with its abundance of character. Dividing this room and the dining room is the stunning double sided inglenook fireplace. The flooring that runs through both rooms is reclaimed antique oak Versailles parquet. The kitchen/breakfast room is situated to the back of the property and runs almost 21' in width. This bright room is decorated in a crisp white and has spotlights fitted to the ceiling. There are some exposed beams and a stunning stable door to build on the character. The kitchen has been fitted with plenty of wall and base units for storage and has an integrated dishwasher with space for a freestanding cooker. Adjacent to the breakfast room is an enviable walk in pantry/utility room which has space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer, enabling you to keep the laundry behind a closed door. The pantry area has the perfect spot for an American fridge freezer. There is a large study, also to the ground floor. This room has dual aspect and plenty of natural light to keep your energy levels up whilst working from home. Completing this floor is the dual aspect, ground floor double bedroom with new oak flooring and its own en-suite shower room. This room is currently used as a home gym. Up the renovated oak staircase, there are three large double bedrooms. The main bedroom has a stunning en-suite shower room which has been fitted with Italian marble flooring and a Galassia Italia sink with a Fired Earth mixer tap. The outstanding family bathroom is also on this top floor and has been fitted with a Noce travertine stone floor and has the luxury of both a separate double walk in shower and the gorgeous Kingsdale Mirror bath (from Country Cast Baths of Yorkshire). The freestanding roll top bath is cast iron and has a mirrored finish. This property has had both an lpg boiler and hive recently installed and also has a Harvey's water softener which are both included in the sale. This property is for sale with no onward chain.
Outside: The front of the property is bordered with matured trees and hedging and has a neat front lawn with raised rose beds. The garage is attached to the house and has double wooden doors, in keeping with the character, and has both power and lighting connected. The private drive will comfortably park two cars. There is also pedestrian access to the property via a low wooden gate and a stepping stone path. The front garden houses a lockable shed and wood store. The rear garden is the perfect haven for anyone who likes to enjoy relaxing outside. There is a lovely stone paved terrace which has been designed into an outdoor kitchen and dining area, absolutely ideal for outside entertaining and al fresco dining. The garden is completely enclosed and has a pretty lawn and established trees, shrubs and perennials. There is also a convenient closed off bin area to the the back of the property.
Location: The Kentish village of Hamstreet is affectionately known as ‘the gateway to the marsh’, being located six miles south of Ashford where the ridge of clay hills meets the flat expanses of Romney Marsh, an area once awash with smuggling. Three long distance footpaths pass through the village; one follows the peaceful banks of the Royal Military Canal - the UK's third longest defensive structure, and two pass through the expansive woodland that is Hamstreet Woods. A second area of public woodland is located northeast of the village at Orlestone Forest. Orlestone is the original location of the village - now just a hamlet. The village has an array of local amenities including a shop with a post office, The Dukes Head pub, The Cosy Kettle tearoom and an Indian restaurant. There is a railway station with links to Ashford International and Hastings. Ashford International has high speed links to London St Pancras in just 37 minutes. Hamstreet primary school is within walking distance of the property, and regular buses run to and from Ashford town centre with a fantastic selection of secondary schools.
