Felder Lodge offers a handsome family home of great quality and fine proportions. Built in 1907 and laid out to an ‘H’ plan, a further wing is thought to have been added at a later date to accommodate an impressive billiard room with a barrel-vaulted ceiling. Solid oak windows with leaded lights and numerous fireplaces are some of the features found within the house and are classic of the era.
The property was originally built for Admiral Sir Reginald Henderson. Born in Worth, Henderson had a distinguished naval career and is regarded as the “father” of the Royal Australian Navy. This maritime connection is acknowledged in the charming anchor motif found on the window fastenings.
Felder Lodge was also home for a time to Wing Commander John Leighton Beck. Noted for a wartime career of constant action, Beck served in most of the major air theatres as a pilot and commander as well as directing tactical air operations, winning his first DFC in 1940. He and his wife enjoyed playing golf at Sandwich. The butler’s bells at the house still bear the Beck name.
FELDER LODGE
The striking double entrance door with stone carved surround opens to a lobby with the reception hall beyond, from where a large window floods the space with light and a solid wooden staircase rises to the first floor.
The well-proportioned reception rooms to one side comprise a drawing room with views across the garden and a sitting room to the front. Beyond is the magnificent billiard room which provides a sensational formal entertaining space with a rich herringbone parquet floor.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a welcoming space fitted with a good range of cabinetry, with plenty of room for a table for day-to-day use. The adjacent double aspect dining room offers a more formal space overlooking the gardens. A front facing study provides a convenient space next to the kitchen/breakfast room.
The first and second floors provide generous, well-appointed accommodation of up to seven bedrooms and bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite stretches across the west wing of the house and includes a generous dressing room/bedroom 7 and a bathroom which can also be accessed from the landing, allowing flexibility. The second bedroom offers a lovely guest suite with a dressing area and en suite bathroom. On this floor there are two further bedrooms, one of which has an en suite bathroom accessed via a spiral staircase. There is also a family bathroom and a separate shower.
The second floor provides two further bedrooms, a bathroom and a large attic room.
Set off a private no through road, Felder Lodge has an impressive approach over a carriage drive with wrought iron electric gates.
The house sits well in a private and secluded setting, having a well-established garden with mature trees and borders. A fabulous south-facing terrace stretches across the back, providing a wonderful space in which to relax and entertain.
A detached garage building provides extensive garaging for several cars with a self-contained flat above comprising a sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Worth village is centred on a pretty duck pond and church with a primary school and two public houses. Felder Lodge is just 1.6 miles away from the heart of the popular Sandwich. The thriving coastal town of Deal is also within easy reach and both enjoy “Links” golf courses along with a range of further facilities, including shops and recreational amenities.
The Cathedral City of Canterbury offers a plentiful array of restaurants and cafés, together with ample shopping facilities and notable schooling options. Convenient transport links can be found via the A2, A258 and M2, whilst Sandwich station provides rail connections to London as will the Thanet Parkway station at Cliffs End (due to open in 2023).
There is good access to the Continent via the Port of Dover and the Channel Tunnel terminal.
