Delf Street, Sandwich, Kent

This Grade II* Listed Georgian property is probably one of Sandwich's best kept secrets. It nestles in 0.3272 of an acre of completely walled gardens in the centre of town with access via a double garage or through a white gate in the wall. With its symmetrical multi-pane sash windows, high chimney stacks and attractive top floor balcony the house has enormous external appeal. While, once inside, the first room you come to is the beautiful dual aspect drawing room with French doors to the garden, corner shelving units, half height wall panelling, dado rails, painted ceiling beams and a period fireplace with many similar features also in the superb formal dining room.

The kitchen/breakfast room includes multi-pane arched windows and French doors to the terrace, an Aga, units housing a gas hob and double oven as well as a central island, stand-alone appliances and a utility room. A gorgeous triple aspect garden room includes a stained glass window and access to the garden. This floor also has a boiler room, a cloakroom and stairs to the vast cellar.

On the first floor is a split level landing with a dual aspect main bedroom incorporating a fireplace and a Jack and Jill/en suite bathroom. Another double bedroom has fitted cupboards and a Jack and Jill bathroom with a door to a dual aspect bedroom/office. The second floor includes an en suite cloakroom and a Jack and Jill bathroom shared by two dual aspect double bedrooms with fitted cupboards.

There are steps up to the first floor annexe above the double garage that consists of a long room with access to a terrace as well as a kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. A crazy paved patio leads to a wisteria covered pergola and an Elizabethan style garden with dwarf hedge flower beds, while an archway provides access to another garden area with wood surround flower and shrub beds, a central fountain and stone seats. Across the lawns are the Japanese garden and a secluded courtyard.

What the Owner says:

This has been a very special family home since 1990 but for health reasons it is time to let it go. It is very quiet and secluded yet everywhere is easily accessible including the shops, restaurants and pubs. The station for the high speed train to London is only half a mile and it is not far to the dual carriageway for Dover, Canterbury and London. There are excellent educational facilities in the vicinity and golfing enthusiasts can enjoy the Championship courses while the Sandwich Marina is available for the boating fraternity.
