This distinctive Grade II Listed property, dating back to the early 17th century, offers an exceptional opportunity for transformation into a remarkable countryside home. Set on 8.496 acres of open paddocks and pasture, it boasts a spacious 3,300 sq.ft. barn with significant potential for development (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions). This property has been in the same family for four decades, and while it requires extensive refurbishment, its sturdy structure serves as a blank canvas with generous rooms, authentic period details, and picturesque views.
Accessed via a long driveway leading to an inner parking area, the residence features an impressive external façade inspired by traditional Dutch architecture. Inside, a grand entrance hall welcomes you with original wood flooring that extends throughout much of the home. The dual-aspect sitting room features central beams and an exposed brick wall accentuated by a vast inglenook fireplace with a log burner. The dining room complements the living space with its own brick fireplace.
The kitchen/breakfast room is spacious and connects to a basement and utility area, providing access to outdoor spaces. The first floor hosts four large double bedrooms alongside a family bathroom; many rooms retain charming historical elements such as panelled ceilings and cast iron fireplaces. Two additional loft rooms are positioned on the second floor.
Surrounding gardens include undulating lawns dotted with mature trees. The barn offers internal stabling options along with extra storage space that could be revitalized or repurposed (again subject to planning). With four paddocks available and secondary driveway access to Pike Road, this estate is perfect for equestrian enthusiasts or those desiring ample grounds for gardening or livestock keeping.
Located close to Eastry village and just a short drive from Sandwich's amenities—including unique shops, dining options, and transport links—this property merges tranquility with accessibility, presenting a rare chance to craft your ideal country living experience.
