Originally part of the former Old Palace Estate, which was a summer residence for the Archbishop of Canterbury, this former threshing barn and dairy was converted by our selling clients approximately ten years ago. The property is unlisted and enjoys a modern open-plan style of conversion, featuring much use of natural materials including oak and stone, and with many windows, providing a good feeling of light and space throughout.

Features of note include the modern turn stairs in front of a full height window with good views, the stone flagged flooring with underfloor heating to the ground floor, and the double open fireplace to the sitting room and the dining room, which is fitted with a large traditional style wood burning stove. The kitchen and bathrooms are well fitted and have tiled floors, and the garden room in particular is very comfortable, with its lakeside view and direct access outside to the terracing.

Outside, the external elevations are of attractive red brick with some decorative weather boarding under a tall pitched tiled roof. The property is accessed from the lane via a five bar gate leading to a parking and turning area. This gives access to a large, modern Atcost style outbuilding which provides for covered car parking, a workshop and excellent storage. Outside here to the front is a gravelled courtyard garden, including a kitchen garden with raised beds and espalier fruit trees.

The lake is a beautiful surrounding and is a real haven for wildlife, stocked with a variety of fish. Grass garden areas lead off from the lake, with a good variety of impressive mature trees.

Around to the north elevation there is a disused stable building, thought perhaps to offer further potential for other uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.
