Newington Road, Peene, Folkestone, Kent, CT18

With a backdrop of the North Downs and surrounded by 2.67 acres of grounds, this imposing 1850s Grade II Listed residence offers enormous potential. It includes two paddocks (one currently a dog agility area), a potential sand school, stables and a variety of other sizeable outbuildings, two large vegetable gardens and plenty of parking. Internally the property still retains many original and period features such as high coved ceilings, dado and picture rails, panelled doors, fireplaces and the original staircase. The house is approached along a gravel driveway that leads either to the paddocks and buildings behind the property or to the porch. The front door with its original stained glass skylight opens into the hall.

There is a good sized drawing room and a lounge with original windows and shutters as well as bi-fold doors to the dining room. There is a study and French doors to the large conservatory that opens onto a block paved terrace with a gravel surround and an inner fenced garden with a large lawn interspersed with fruit trees. The traditional farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room has built in cupboards, a range cooker, free-standing appliances, a walk-in larder, space for a table and chairs and an adjacent utility/boot room. The divided staircase leads to the family bathroom and two double bedrooms including the first bedroom on one side and to three further double bedrooms, a large airing cupboard and access to the attic on the other.

Outside is a koi carp pond, greenhouse, a chicken run and a rabbit hutch plus a large workshop and double gates to the stable block. The sand school is being used as additional car parking and leads to a log store and a high ceiling garage and another driveway leads to a barn and toilet.

What the Owner says:

We moved here about 21 years ago with an extended family and horses and it has been an ideal, intergenerational home but our situation has now changed and we feel it is time for us to downsize. During the years we have been here we have built a number of outbuildings that could offer potential business opportunities for new owners. We really love the location, despite being near the Channel Tunnel we rarely hear any noise and it is very quiet and peaceful. There are also wonderful places to go for walks as well as an all-weather bridle path nearby.
