Introducing a magnificent Victorian manor house, an architectural masterpiece situated on an expansive 2-acre estate. This extraordinary property blends historical elegance with contemporary luxury, providing a unique and unparalleled lifestyle.

Upon entering through private gates, a sweeping driveway leads to the grand front entrance. Inside, you are greeted by a spacious and elegant entrance hall, setting a refined tone for the home. To the left, discover a series of beautifully appointed rooms. The library, with its rich wood panelling and built-in bookshelves, offers a tranquil retreat for reading or work. The sitting room, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining, features period details and large windows that fill the space with natural light.

The formal dining room, generously proportioned, is perfect for hosting dinners and family gatherings. It flows seamlessly into a well-equipped kitchen, which is adjacent to a practical utility room and a private study, ideal for remote work. Beyond the lobby, the property boasts a luxurious pool area complete with an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, and bar, providing ultimate in-home leisure and entertainment.

On the first floor, there are four beautifully designed bedrooms. Two of these feature luxurious en-suite bathrooms, while all offer breath taking views of the surrounding grounds and countryside. A family bathroom and separate toilet enhance the convenience of this level.

The second floor reveals three additional bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom. Each bedroom continues to offer stunning views of the estate and beyond.
Externally, the property includes a separate annexe, perfect for guests, extended family, or potential rental income. This annexe comprises three bedrooms, a living room, and a modern three-piece bathroom.

The 2-acre grounds provide an idyllic setting with mature trees, manicured lawns, and ample space for various outdoor activities. There is off-street parking for multiple vehicles, ensuring convenience for residents and guests.

A significant advantage of this remarkable Victorian manor house is that it is not a listed property, offering greater flexibility for future modifications or expansions.

Located in the picturesque village of Higham, the property enjoys peaceful surroundings while remaining close to essential amenities. Local shops, traditional Kentish pubs, and a doctor's surgery are all nearby. Higham Primary School and Gad's Hill Independent School offer excellent educational options. Higham train station, with regular Thameslink services to several London stations, makes commuting straightforward. The nearby towns of Strood and Rochester provide a wider array of shops, restaurants, and cafes, along with historical attractions such as a 12th-century castle and cathedral.

This Victorian manor house offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history while enjoying modern comforts and conveniences in a picturesque rural setting.
