Overview
OVERVIEW One of the most appealing features of Coldharbour House is the exceptional versatility offered by the substantial barn and separate cottage.
Together these ancillary buildings offer opportunities to suit a variety of lifestyles, whether accommodating multi-generational living, creating independent guest accommodation or establishing a dedicated home business. The cottage offers privacy and independence for extended family or staff members, while the barn presents flexible space that could be adapted for offices, studios, workshops, or leisure use, subject to any necessary consents.
This unique combination allows owners to seamlessly balance family life, work, and recreation within a single, beautifully connected setting.
THE PROPERTY Centrally positioned within its grounds, and approached over a long private drive, Coldharbour House is a distinguished period property offering generous accommodation, featuring large reception rooms and six double bedrooms.
THE BARN The characterful converted barn features a studio space with kitchenette and cloakroom. A spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine room overlooking the studio, arranged as an office/music/cinema room. A ground floor workshop offers conversion potential, subject to any necessary consents.
HARRY'S COTTAGE Tucked away in the grounds is the detached period property, Harry’s Cottage.
The reception room has an inglenook fireplace with bressumer beam over. An adjoining kitchen is fitted with a range of units with integrated appliances and a walk-in cupboard. There are two bedrooms, one with a vaulted ceiling, and a bathroom.
This property has 9 acres of land.
Outside
The long, tree-lined gravel drive leads to an access point to the side of the property then continues round to a double garage with adjacent greenhouse, as well as linking to The Barn and Harry’s Cottage.
To the rear of the house is a converted ragstone building, believed to be a former cowshed, which is suitable for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents. Adjoining The Barn is a storage space, behind which is a row of unconverted open cart bays.
The expansive grounds are mainly grassed with garden around the house having well stocked mature borders, trees, hedging and ragstone walls, which also provide a screen for the covered swimming pool.
The land falls away to a mini golf course with two tees and two bunkers. A man-made lake flanked by weeping willow trees provides a haven for wildlife and is an ideal place to relax and look back towards the main house.
Situation
The hamlet of Court-at-Street sits between Aldington and Lympne, the former with a Norman church, village store, Post Office and pub, surrounded by rolling hills and green fields. Set in the Kent Downs National Landscape, Lympne village sits above the expansive agricultural plain of Romney Marsh and offers amenities including a church, village hall, convenience store, hairdresser, primary school and pub with restaurant.
Nearby Hythe offers shopping, cultural and leisure amenities; more extensive facilities are available in Folkestone, Dover and Canterbury. Local sporting amenities include numerous golf courses and fishing and water sports along the coast.
Communications links are excellent: the A20 gives access to major regional centres and the motorway network, trains from Westenhanger connect with the High Speed services from nearby Ashford International to central London from about 36 minutes and ferries from the Port of Dover; the Eurotunnel terminal provides convenient links to the Continent.
