House For Sale £825,000
Yaldings is a substantial family home, built in the 1930’s in a distinctive Georgian style, with elegant proportions and a sense of grandeur rarely seen in a property of this age. It offers over 3200 sq. Ft of generous accommodation, along with a superb detached one bedroom guest annexe, and just under an acre of private and beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds with far reaching views over farmland.
The main house has an attractive entrance porch with an unusual curved, leaded roof. A solid Georgian style panelled front door opens into a grand reception hall with reception rooms either side of it and an elegant staircase which rises to the first floor.
The drawing room is an impressive, dual aspect room with lovely views over the gardens and some interesting features, including stripped wood floorboards, dado rails and an Art Deco style fireplace.
The second reception room also has some attractive features, including dado rails, a fireplace and a tall bay window. Most likely intended for use as a dining room, this room currently serves as a comfortable and homely sitting room. From here, a door leads to a study and beyond this, an inner hallway with access to the kitchen/breakfast room and a useful cellar.
The kitchen has been fitted with a superb range of traditionally styled wall and floor units, set around granite work surfaces, a free standing oak topped breakfast bar and a programmable three oven Aga with an electric two oven Aga ‘companion’.
The property was further enhanced in 2008 with the addition of a beautiful, traditionally styled double glazed conservatory which connects with the kitchen/breakfast room and serves as either a spacious dining room or a pleasant garden room.
The extensive ground floor accommodation is completed by a large utility room, a walk in larder, a boot room, a cloakroom and a shower room.
On the first floor, a wide, galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms, a WC and a separate bathroom with a traditionally styled white suite.
Three of the bedrooms have en suites and fitted wardrobes, with the master bedroom being a particular good size double room with ample fitted wardrobes and a large en suite with a corner bath and a separate shower cubicle.
The cottage:
The main house is complemented by a detached brick built cottage, which serves as a self-contained annexe for either a younger or older generation, or as ideal guest accommodation and enjoys stunning views over countryside and out to the Swale Estuary. This has an open plan sitting room and kitchen, a good size double bedroom and a shower room.
Outside:
The property sits within a generous and completely secluded plot of approximately 0.9 of an acre, and is approached via a sweeping, gated driveway which leads to a detached double garage and a large area offering parking for numerous vehicles to the rear of the property.
The grounds are predominately laid to lawn and divided into two separate areas, to the north and to the south of the house.
The more formal gardens are to the north of the house and have been extensively planted with a variety of mature trees and shrubs, whilst the grounds to the south of the house are less formal and contain a large fenced animal enclosure, several kennels and a paved dog run.
