4 bedroom detached house

A charming Grade II listed four bedroom home with potential to update, set in pretty well established south-facing gardens, with garaging, stables and paddock.

Description

Rose Court is a delightful Grade II listed property which has been in the same ownership for almost forty years. The property is surrounded by well established gardens and grounds of over 2.5 acres and lies under a mile to the south of the popular village of Pluckley.

The property is believed to date in part from the early 19th century and features ragstone and brick elevations and some pretty Dering windows, identifiable by their round tops and found in a number of old properties in the surrounding area.

There is over 2,500 sq ft of internal accommodation, offering the ideal opportunity for some updating. Over the ground floor are four reception rooms, two with exposed wood flooring and open fireplaces and a south-facing conservatory with terracotta tiled flooring and doors to the gardens.
The kitchen/breakfast room has painted cupboards, electric wall mounted ovens and hob with space for further freestanding appliances.
Four first floor bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with separate shower. Three bedrooms enjoy a dual aspect with views over the gardens and or neighbouring farmland.

Outside a gravel drive provides off road parking and access to the two garages. The gardens are very well established with level lawns, deep herbaceous borders, a formal rose garden and many mature trees, including oaks, magnolia and fruit trees.

Outbuildings include a pretty brick building currently divided and used to house various white goods and an adjoining store room. To the south east of the garden is a small enclosed yard with two stables and a store. A gate leads through to the field which lies to the south of the garden. To the west is an belt of mature trees.
