10 bedroom house

Great Budds House is a handsome Grade II listed hall house, set back from Mote Road and constructed of brick and part tile hung elevations under a tile roof with a Georgian façade to the south. The accommodation is arranged over three floor and extends to over 5,000 sq. ft. and offers a great balance between formal and informal accommodation. The accommodation has many interesting period features including a fine Inglenook fireplace in the drawing room, exposed timbers and high ceilings. The property is south facing with light rooms having views over the gardens and farmland beyond.

The oast house is positioned to the west of the main house and constructed of brick and part tile hung elevations under a tile roof. The accommodation is arranged over two floors, extending to 2,832 sq ft. and provides versatile accommodation. It is currently arranged with a full sized billiard room and table, swimming pool changing room facilities and shower, sauna and a round garden sitting room/study. On the first floor are two round bedrooms and a very extensive living room with exposed beams. This could be adapted for a multitude of uses, including an independent dwelling (see planning paragraph).

Positioned to the northwest of the main house are some wonderful timber framed barns which form three sides of a courtyard set around a central croquet lawn. The main barn is an historic timber framed Kent barn extending to over 3,000 sq. ft., making it ideal for entertaining on a grand scale. It could be adapted for a variety of uses, including an independent residence (see planning paragraph). The courtyard is completed by stables and two further barns.

The gardens and grounds are an important feature of Great Budds and form the most delightful setting, complementing the house extremely well. A long gravel drive leads to a large parking and turning area to the rear of the house and giving access to the garages. It enjoys a stunning well-maintained garden with many established specimen trees, shrubs and flower beds, orchards, woodland walk, and a pretty Victorian style greenhouse. The gardens encircle the property and include a swimming pool and tennis court. This country property is set in 14 acres of gardens and grounds, including fenced and watered paddocks.
