Originally part of the Leeds Castle estate, this well appointed two bedroom detached ragstone lake side home has been renovated to a beautiful standard and offers the perfect hideaway for those looking for a rural escape.
Believed to originally date back to the 18th century used to store boats for the castle estate, the lake in front of the property formally was a quarry for the yellow stone used in the construction of Leeds Castle. Now sitting in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the River Len, this hidden gem really is a one off and would make an ideal second home or primary residence for those looking to downsize.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises an open plan living/dining room with stunning oak flooring with underfloor heating, exposed ragstone and a hand built oak kitchen along with a separate ground floor utility/shower room. To the first floor there is a vaulted ceiling landing, principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a second bedroom with ensuite shower room.
Outside the beautiful lake view commands your interest, with a pontoon, decked areas, an extensive gated shingle driveway with parking for 3-4 cars. Flower beds and rockeries adorn the property providing an attractive yet easy to maintain outside space.
Locality
The property is situated a mile from the centre of the village of Hollingbourne, an ancient village offering two local pubs & character buildings nestling on the southern slopes of the North Downs, situated some five miles east of the County town of Maidstone with its vast array of shopping and leisure facilities.
It is also just 1.9 miles from Bearsted, a well known village on the outskirts of Maidstone with a beautiful village green and popular public houses/restaurants. Local attractions include Leeds Castle and the Wormshill and Bredgar Light Railway. There are also several local hotels, bed and breakfasts and a Caravan Club campsite.
Travel connections are convenient with junction 8 of the M20 motorway approximately half a mile away, providing direct access to London and the Kent coast for travel to the continent. Rail services are well supported with a main line railway station in the village, providing access to London Victoria and Ashford International stations, Ashford benefiting from the high speed service to London St Pancras with a journey time of 37 minutes.
