House For Sale £3,950,000
Willow Manor is a magnificent, detached property with more than 8,000 sq ft of luxury accommodation arranged over three light-filled floors, together with useful ancillary accommodation and leisure facilities.
Designed in the style of an Edwin Lutyens house by well-regarded Clague Architects of Canterbury, Willow Manor was constructed in 2006. The property has a grand scale, typified by the 29ft sitting room and reception area, with its impressive brick-built fireplace with fitted log-burner and galleried landing above. The double-height window floods the room with natural light.
The house has a further seven reception rooms across the ground and lower ground levels, providing plenty of space in which to relax, entertain or enjoy leisure time. These include a fully fitted cinema room, a gym with spa facilities, a play room and a games room with a bar. There is also a comfortable family room, a formal dining room and an office for home working.
The large kitchen/breakfast room by Smallbone of Devizes is fitted with an array of modern storage units, a central island and an Aga, as well as integrated appliances, including an American-style fridge freezer. The utility and laundry rooms both provide further space for white goods and home storage.
Upstairs, the spacious galleried landing provides more space in which to relax, while the first floor has five beautifully presented double bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms are en suite, including the principal bedroom with dressing room and opulent en suite bathroom; the room has a wonderful outook across the property’s lake.
Ancillary accommodation
The property benefits from two annexes, both of which are separate from the main house. Between them these provide a total of three bedrooms (each with a shower room), together with well-equipped kitchens and sitting rooms. These are ideal for family members or as staff/guest accommodation.
Willow Manor is set in an immaculate landscaped garden with pristine lawns, box hedging and a variety of delightful features. At the entrance, security gates open onto the tree-lined driveway, which leads to a parking area and turning circle at the front of the house. Parking is also available in the triple bay garage, providing plenty of space for vehicles and additional storage. Additionally, there is a 4,000 sqft multi-use metal storage building on site.
The garden includes patio areas for al fresco dining, a summer house with a veranda, a children’s play area and the stunning lake with its fountain and waterside seating area.
The property is situated in a lovely rural location to the south-east of Canterbury. Denton has a thriving village community, with a public house, a village hall and a church. The adjoining village of Barham has a village shop and primary school, with Canterbury offering a wide range of educational, leisure and shopping facilities.
The village is well placed for road and rail links, with the A2 about 2.5 miles away and linking to the M2 and wider motorway network. Canterbury offers two stations with stopping services to London Victoria and Charing Cross and access to the high-speed service to St Pancras.
The area offers a wide range of schools in both independent and state sectors, including Dover College, The King’s School, (reputedly the oldest school in the world), St Edmund’s School Canterbury, The Worthgate School Canterbury, Northbourne Park and the Simon Langton grammar schools.
