A very handsome Grade II listed six bedroom property with beautifully established gardens in Cranbrook School catchment 2022.
Description
Mount Pleasant is a very handsome Grade II listed detached home dating from the 17th century with later mid 19th century additions. This lovely property is set back from the road behind mature hedging amidst beautifully landscaped gardens of just under 1 acre, 1.8 miles to the north of the popular town of Cranbrook and about 3.6 miles from the nearest mainline station at Staplehurst.
Internally, Mount Pleasant retains a wealth of period features including multi paned sash windows, exposed timbers and beams and good ceiling heights to the majority of rooms.
The accommodation includes three reception rooms; a sitting room with wood burning stove, a formal dining room with open fireplace and inset glass fronted cupboards to either side and a flexible family room/library with gas coal effect fire and secondary staircase leading up to a guest bedroom suite.
The 29ft kitchen/breakfast room with Amtico flooring, is an excellent size for a family, with fitted cupboards and breakfast area. Appliances include a Miele wall mounted oven with warming drawer and four ring gas hob. There is space for further appliances. Off the kitchen is a WC, a utility room and a cellar (unseen).
On the first floor are four bedrooms, including the main bedroom with bespoke fitted wardrobes, en suite bathroom and dressing room, which is also bespoke fitted. An en suite bathroom and separate shower room with start stop shower serves the remaining bedrooms. On the second floor are attic bedrooms five and six, one which is currently used as a home office. The property benefits from an excellent range of storage throughout including an attic store room.
Outside, the gardens are delightful with expansive level lawns, mature yew and box hedging, deep herbaceous borders, a crinkle crankle wall to part of the southern boundary and a mixture of shrubs and mature trees including rhododendrons, maple and oak trees.
The property has an in and out gravel drive with plenty of parking and access to two garages via electric doors, both with rafter storage. Other outbuildings include a secluded summerhouse, a pretty brick loggia with power connected and an old privy, ideal for storage.
