Aldingham is situated in a secluded location on a prestigious road, set behind high hedges and a gated entrance. This outstanding 3615 sq ft family home surrounded by mature gardens and woodlands approaching three acres. Being one of Hartley’s best kept secrets, this abode was subject to a two year reconfiguration and renovation by the current owner over twenty years ago to make it this impressive well-proportioned family home.

The central hallway opens into multiple living spaces which includes the formal sitting room, dining room, family room, drawing room, study and kitchen breakfast room with adjoining conservatory. To the first floor there is a gallery landing that leads to four bedrooms and family bathroom, the principal bedroom has an ample dressing room which is like a room in itself and spacious ensuite bathroom. There is a balcony roof terrace that leads off the principal bedroom which is an ideal location to start your day and overlook the mature and established gardens and grounds.

Outside to the front of the property the driveway has space for multiple cars with double detached garage and store above. Whilst the house is impressive, the garden and grounds do not disappoint and is made up of two titles approaching three acres, which is subtly divided into three main sections, the formal landscaped garden with summerhouse and playhouse, a more natural area and a wildlife wooded sanctuary, which the current owner has affectionately named ‘the traditional garden’, ‘Middle Earth’ and ‘Backlands’. This beautiful space is ideal for entertaining family and friends with garden parties and is a dream for children to explore. This family home is a true haven of peace and quiet and a place to unwind from busy lives and make as a forever home.

Seller Insight
“I have to admit that I was in no way the driving force behind our purchase of this house twenty-four years ago, it was my husband who fell in love with it,” says the owner. “Back then we were living just two roads down in a lovely property that we’d recently had beautifully refurbished, and Aldingham was essentially a multi-generational home – two staircases, two kitchens etc. – that was crying out for an awful lot of TLC. My husband was adamant that this was the house for us so we bought it in 2000, he spent the next two years having it renovated – I barely laid eyes on it during that period – and when it was finally finished I had to admit he was right all along, I loved it!”
