Gribble House

Gribble House is a wonderful Grade II Listed family home arranged over three floors. Dating to the 18th century, with documentary evidence dating back to 1769, the house has evolved over the years to provide delightful accommodation with a great deal of character.

A central entrance hall leads to two well-proportioned reception rooms either side, and stairs from here lead to both the first floor and the cellar. To one side, the bright, double aspect study/snug has a deep inglenook and wood-burning stove, whilst to the other a good sized family room, also with wood-burner, is equally bright and opens through to the conservatory.

Adjoining the family room, the kitchen is traditionally styled and leads to a useful utility room with cloakroom and the back door, which provides practical day-to-day access. The kitchen, family room and conservatory provide a fabulous family living space. Across the back of the house is a very generous sitting room with a further deep inglenook fireplace and a charming bow window allowing plenty of light. The room also provides an excellent formal dining space.

Stairs from both the entrance hall and the sitting room rise to the first floor. Two of the three bedrooms on this level look to the front of the house; one of these is the principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom. There is a further well-appointed family bathroom.

On the second floor are three further bedrooms, two of which are currently used as a study and workspace, one having a water supply should a sink or bathroom be desired (subject to necessary consents). The remaining bedroom has an en suite cloakroom.

Gribble House occupies a stunning rural setting, with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside and proximity to great beaches with Dymchurch 7.9 miles, Littlestone 8.4 miles and Camber Sands 9.4 miles distant. Snave is a small and desirable hamlet on Romney Marsh, with a charming 13th century church and convenient road links leading to the M20 and further afield.

Nearby Hamstreet offers a range of day-to-day amenities, including independent shops, a doctor’s surgery and a mainline station. Tenterden, Rye and New Romney provide more extensive shopping, educational and leisure facilities, with an array of well-regarded private schools available.

Ashford International station provides High Speed services to London St Pancras from 36 minutes.The area has good access to the Continent.

Gribble House is set in a wonderful rural landscape with generous grounds providing a super balance of pretty landscaped gardens and paddocks. The house enjoys far reaching views to three sides.

Approached over a gravel in/out driveway behind five bar gates, there is plenty of parking in front of the house and garaging to the side. The formal gardens to the south west, enjoyed by the outlook from the conservatory, have a great deal of structure with clipped box hedging and a path leading one’s eye down the garden and through to a further area with structured hedging and an orchard. There is a wisteria clad pergola.

Outbuildings include a double garage, further double garage with a workshop, shed and workshop, log store, and three stables with a tack room. There are also two greenhouses. A paddock with a pond sits behind the house beyond a post and rail fence and has access to the lane. A smaller paddock lies to the east of the house.
