Property Details

Freehold 3 Bedrooms

Discovering The Secret House

You will drive into a private road across farmland rising above the Stour valley with a panoramic view of the surrounding country, you will pass two period houses, and at the very end of the road you will see a wooden gate through which you will enter 2¼ acres that surround the property: a 15 year old architect designed house inside a 250 year old Georgian wall. Enter through the electric gates.

Garden

The house and garden are protected by an 11 foot brick wall, formerly part of the old estate. The house is set in the middle of the garden which covers approximately 1 acre. The garden is beautiful, with the walls clothed with mature shrubs and climbers, with many old roses, with bees, birds and butterflies and a great sense of peace.

Outside the wall and surrounding it is a further 1 ¼ acres of grass with mown paths and an ancient Oak, bounded by mature hedges and a Freedom Fence, a perfect dog exercise space.
