Description

Nestled along a long private drive, this Grade II listed manor dates back to the 17th century and commands sweeping views over the Weald. While the property is rich in historical character, it presents a significant opportunity for renovation and modernization to create a truly unique residence or investment. The expansive layout includes six bedrooms and several reception areas that showcase original features, such as large inglenook fireplaces and exposed brickwork. The ground floor comprises two impressive reception rooms, including a grand dining hall measuring 29 feet, perfect for sizable gatherings. Adjacent to the dining area is a comfortable 30-foot drawing room, while additional spaces like a family room and sitting room provide flexibility for various uses. The kitchen has been updated with contemporary wooden cabinetry and integrated appliances but offers room for further enhancement. A substantial unconverted barn connected to an office and stable block provides endless possibilities for development. Previously permitted for conversion into a four-bedroom dwelling (planning application reference 15/00695/AS), this space could be reimagined for residential use or even as a workspace, making it ideal for those looking to work from home or tap into the growing demand for rental opportunities. Set within picturesque gardens that feature terraced landscaping, rolling lawns, and adjoining fields, the property is tranquil yet conveniently located just three miles from Ashford International Station. This proximity ensures easy access to London St Pancras in approximately 36 minutes, making it an attractive option for commuters. Great Chart is a charming village surrounded by local amenities found in nearby Ashford, including various supermarkets and shopping options at McArthurGlen Outlet. The area supports a selection of good schools across both state and private sectors. Additionally, residents benefit from excellent transport links via roadways such as the M20 (Junction 9) and convenient connections to Europe through Dover and Eurotunnel. With its blend of historical charm and potential for transformation, this property invites those with vision to capitalize on its investment opportunities while enjoying rural living close to urban conveniences.
