Hastings Road, Hawkhurst, TN18

Lillesden Greenhouse is a truly unique property which was painstakingly and sympathetically converted and restored just over 20 years ago. Whilst many of the character features of this special building were retained, including the original greenhouse mechanisms, the main living areas have a high quality contemporary finish with sleek cabinetry in the kitchen/dining room and slate flooring, plenty of built in storage and oak flooring throughout the rest of the house.
With an ingenious use of space throughout, the front door opens into the entrance hall with the afore-mentioned kitchen/dining room spurring off to one side with an excellent range of dark cabinetry and a peninsular unit with steps up to the living area, a marvellous light-filled space with full height glass and french doors out to the balcony. To the other side of the entrance all is a double aspect bedroom suite, whilst the other bedroom is on the lower ground floor, accessed from a staircase in the living area. This bedroom has plenty of built-in storage, french doors out to a terrace with raised planters and a beautiful en-suite bathroom with shower cubicle and free-standing roll-top bath.
The stunning greenhouse area is split into three "rooms" with the main one off the entrance hall being a fabulous dining space from which to enjoy the garden outlooks.
Across the courtyard is a separate building which is currently an art studio with useful utility room attached however this versatile space could also be a home office, gym or additional bedroom, if required.

Outside

Approached via a gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles, there are steps down to the pretty paved courtyard, a lovely secluded area with space for copious pots and a table and chairs. The gardens wrap around the majority of the house with wide swathes of lawn interspersed with abundant flower borders, beech hedging and established trees including a dramatic Palm tree which provides a fabulous focal point from both the living room and bedroom.
