7 bed detached house for sale

Plain Road, Marden TN12

There is something quietly exceptional about Hammons Court. Originally a mid 19th century barn, it was thoughtfully converted in the early 2000s to create a home of remarkable character and warmth. Reclaimed oak joinery, exposed beams and vaulted ceilings sit effortlessly alongside modern comforts, all arranged around a beautiful central courtyard with a mature grapevine, pergola and ancient olive tree, giving the house an almost Mediterranean feel in the heart of Kent.

The principal living spaces have been designed with both family life and entertaining in mind. A dramatic vaulted reception hall with flagstone floors leads through to a generous drawing room with an inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove, overlooking the courtyard beyond. A formal dining room with concealed butler’s pantry connects seamlessly to the bespoke jm Interiors kitchen and family room, fitted with an Everhot range cooker, Neff appliances and extensive cabinetry. Doors open directly onto the south facing terrace and gardens, while additional ground floor spaces include a study, gym, boot room and boiler room.

Upstairs, the principal suite feels wonderfully private, with vaulted ceilings, two dressing rooms and a luxurious bathroom. Completing the main house are two further bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, and an additional attic room accessed from Bedroom 2 which provides versatile extra space as a bedroom, nursery or dressing room.

Connected by a contemporary glass walkway, the courtyard wing provides exceptional secondary accommodation, with a vaulted games room and kitchenette, two bedrooms and a shower room, ideal for guests, older children or multigenerational living. In addition, the newly completed Hammons Barn garden annexe offers beautiful self contained guest accommodation with open plan living, underfloor heating and air conditioning.

The landscaped gardens extend to just over an acre and have the feel of a private country retreat. A heated outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, sauna pod, outdoor kitchen and pizza oven are complemented by a superb Crown Pavilion summerhouse with wood burner, alongside a tennis pavilion, tractor shed and detached double garage.

Set on the edge of the High Weald National Landscape, Hammons Court enjoys a peaceful countryside setting just over a mile from the sought after village of Marden, with its popular pubs, farm shop, everyday amenities and mainline station offering regular services to London Bridge, Cannon Street and Charing Cross. Ashford provides high speed services to London St Pancras in approximately 37 minutes.

The property also falls within the highly regarded Cranbrook Grammar School catchment area and is well placed for a number of respected state and independent schools including Saint Ronan’s, Dulwich Prep, Bethany and Benenden.
