4 bedroom house

A charming Georgian Grade II listed home
with lovely south-easterly facing gardens and adjoining fields.


Description

Little Paddock is a fine example of a detached Kentish Georgian farmhouse residence, with weatherboard elevations, a mellow hipped tiled roof and an attractive Georgian fanlight over the front door. Set above and back from Smallhythe Road, the property, which offers potential for updating, enjoys views over unspoilt countryside but is only a mile from Tenterden either by public footpath or road.

The well-lit rooms boast a range of period features, including exposed beams, high ceilings, a fine inglenook fireplace in the drawing room and six panelled Georgian doors. The ground floor accommodation comprises three reception rooms: a drawing room, formal dining room and a study/snug. Steps lead down from the hall to a substantial brick-floored wine cellar. The kitchen/breakfast room has an old fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove, a range of old pine-fronted cupboards and exposed ceiling beams. On the first floor a spacious galleried landing gives access to four bedrooms with fine views and two bath/shower rooms.
Little Paddock is approached along a gravel drive with a five-barred timber gate, leading to a delightful brick courtyard at the rear of the house, which provides parking for a number of cars and access to the garaging. Period outbuildings with hipped tiled roofs, including a laundry room, workshop, garaging and three adjoining stores, partly surround the courtyard on two sides.
The attractive and secluded gardens of approximately ¼ of an acre are a lovely feature, with a broad lawn, rose garden, herbaceous border and many established shrubs and trees. A path leads past a small hay barn to a gate through to two fields of approximately ¾ acre, ideal for keeping horses or as a play area.
