Description
Occupying a wonderful elevated setting with southerly views over Rother Valley towards Dungeness and Fairlight, Orchard Farm is a detached period property, comprising the main four bedroom former farmhouse, a detached modern two bedroom cottage which is located to the south with its own private garden and a number of useful outbuildings.
The property nestles amidst stunning landscaped gardens, gently sloping in areas and with a wide paved terrace leading down through the beautiful rose garden, filled with an array of different varieties, there is an area of orchard with fruit trees including crab apple, apple and plum trees. Continuing down to the lower gardens, there is an ornamental pond, a raised swimming pool with solar pods for heating, and gate to a field which is enclosed by hedging and fencing and with a hard tennis court.
The principal accommodation comprises: Three/four versatile reception rooms, all enjoying a southerly aspect and far reaching views. They include the pretty morning room, a formal dining room with direct access to the terrace, ideal for al fresco entertaining, an interconnecting sitting room of excellent proportions with wood stove and bespoke bookcases and a flexible study with open fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of fitted cupboards, a semi integral dishwasher, a four ring gas hob, electric oven and space for a fridge. Completing the ground floor is a utility room with space for white goods and direct access to the garden. Outside external steps lead down to the cellar.
There are four first floor bedrooms, the main bedroom and bedroom four both having wonderful views over the gardens and beyond. Several bedrooms have wash hand basins and they are all served by a family bathroom and a Jack and Jill bathroom to the main bedroom.
Within the grounds, The Cottage is well screened, benefiting from a private enclosed garden. Internally, there is fully fitted kitchen which opens to the sitting room with wood burning stove (and back burner for the water and radiators), two bedrooms and a bathroom.
There are a number of outbuildings including two garages, one with electric and one with up and over door, a pump house with an old well, several disused bunkers, two underground rooms used during the war and a studio/office/garden room with stores.
