When it comes to privacy, security and discretion this stunning and unique 21st century country house has it all. Completely hidden down a wooded dell surrounded by 2.2 acres of grounds it is approached along part of a private road owned by the property that leads to solid wood electronic gates, flanked by a high brick wall and a drive down to parking areas to an integral triple garage with electronic doors and a detached outbuilding.

Off the hall is a very large storeroom/boot cupboard, a shower room and access to the ‘hub of the household' that includes the amazing Wolf and Sub Zero designed kitchen, a double height sitting area with a raised fireplace and bi-fold doors to the garden, a dining area with a glass wall overlooking the infinity pool and a separate food preparation kitchen.

A wall of frosted glass and doors lead to a secondary landing that overlooks the indoor swimming pool and includes a glassed-in gym and secondary staircase. There are three further individually designed double bedrooms with en suite facilities and a ‘snug' overlooking the sitting room, a laundry room and a splendid dual aspect home office/fifth bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, feature brick walls, and cathedral style windows.

The pool complex includes an internal terrace, sauna and steam room and steps down to the cinema room and bar. The easily maintained garden is laid to lawn with a gravel terrace and paved patio as well as a slate wall with steps up to the woodland. The property includes a central Vac system, Control 4 system for the underfloor heating on all three floors, air conditioning, electric blinds and curtains, a Lutron lighting and AMX audio-visual system as well as a UV and chlorine filter system for the pool. The plant room incorporating all these facilities can be found on the lower ground floor.

What the Owner says:
It has been a delight and a privilege to live here and enjoy the privacy and security that the position of the property provides. It has been a great place for our family but they have now moved away so we are looking to start a new chapter in our lives. It is a unique property that incorporates the ultimate in upmarket design and technology and will be a wonderful home for someone who enjoys the country and the privacy.

Chilham is a quintessential English village and nestles in the midst of an AONB and includes Tudor houses, pubs, tearoom, post office and the castle. There is a good primary school in the village and excellent private and grammar schools in Canterbury as well as three universities. This historic city includes a plethora of ancient buildings, pubs, restaurants, two theatres, high street stores and independent shops, a golf course, sports centre and two mainline stations. It is within easy reach of Folkestone and Dover for access to London and the Continent.
