The property is set in pretty gardens and grounds including a walled garden and paddock, surrounded by open fields within reach of the stunning coastline of Sandwich and Pegwell Bay

SEVENSCORE FARM HOUSE Sevenscore Farm House is a beautiful Grade II listed property, full of wonderful features and period character. Owned by the same family for several decades, the house has been cherished as a much-loved family home. History relates the local importance of the house with Sevenscore being within one of the two original Manors of Thanet. The fine symmetrical façade sets the scene for the well-proportioned accommodation that sits behind, and the house now offers an exciting opportunity for refurbishment.

A central hall runs through the house with a generous drawing room and a play room situated either side, both with tall sash windows with window seats looking to the front. Towards the back of the house a large sitting room is double aspect with two sets of French doors opening to the garden.

The formal dining room adjoins the substantial open-plan kitchen/breakfast room at the rear. The kitchen itself has fitted units, a breakfast bar and an Aga; there is also ample space for a breakfast table for informal dining. A pantry offers further storage, whilst an inner hallway leads to a cloakroom, useful utility space and a study. There is also an extensive four roomed cellar.

The staircase rises to the part galleried landing, off which there are six double bedrooms. These include the generous principal bedroom with its dressing room and en suite bathroom. The first floor also has two family bathrooms. Stairs continue to the attic, where there is extensive storage space with the potential for conversion, subject to any necessary consents.

FORMER COTTAGE Next to the house is a former cottage. A pretty mellow brick building, with great potential to create a self-contained cottage, home office or similar. The space is arranged over two floors and a cellar accessed by a ladder. Adjoining is a thatched brick barn.

This property has 2.6 acres of land.

Outside

Sevenscore Farm House is approached over a sweeping carriage drive arriving at the front of the house where there is plenty of parking as well as access to the garage and the substantial brick barn which offers a huge amount of space and an exciting opportunity for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents.

Immediately behind the house are the stables providing six stables and storage. Set across the drive is the former cottage and thatched barn.

A walled garden to the northwest provides a lovely setting for the house, with magnificent mature trees and a delightful thatched summer house and greenhouse.

A sunken lawn sits in a large, open courtyard between the house, barn and former cottage. There is also a vegetable garden and a paddock.
