A well proportioned home with lovely gardens and adjoining fields, in an idyllic rural position.


Description

Occupying a delightful rural setting and now coming to the market for the first time in over 42 years, Hook House is a well presented family property, set amidst lovely gardens with adjoining fields and wonderful views over Romney Marsh land.

The house, understood to have formerly been two workmens’ cottages, dates from 1930/40s and following a substantial two storey extension by the current owners in 2006 it now offers flexible accommodation, approaching 4,000 sq ft.

The original front, enhanced by wisteria, faces south and there is a pretty porch with inset post store and boot scraper.

South facing reception rooms include a dual aspect family room with period brick fireplace and garden outlook, an L shaped, beamed sitting room featuring a fireplace with wood burning stove and an adjoining conservatory with double doors leading out to the gardens. There is also a study off the family room.

The farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast/family room is an excellent space, with the kitchen area being fitted with a range of cupboards and a walk-in larder. Appliances include an oil fired AGA and an electric oven with space for a dishwasher and fridge/freezer. French doors open from both the kitchen and the family area to the lovely gardens.

There is a separate utility room which has further cupboards and space for various white goods. Completing the ground floor is a versatile office/potential bedroom six, adjacent to which is a wet room.

Two wide staircases give access to the first floor where the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms, all of which have wardrobe cupboards and two bathrooms. Stairs continue from the oldest part of the house up to a generous attic room and the attic storage.

The attractive gardens provide a lovely setting, with level lawns and an array of specimen trees, roses and seasonal shrubs. Wrapping around the gardens are the enclosed fields, with separate vehicular access. There is a detached garage with large room over offering great potential, a boiler room and a shed housing a diesel generator.
