The propertyScotts Hall is a fine period home that has been extensively refurbished over the years to provide modern day comforts whilst retaining the charm of its period features. The beautiful grounds have mature, well stocked gardens, together with a useful stable block (with planning permission for conversion to an annexe), a vineyard, an orchard, a recently refurbished tennis court and two substantial paddocks.

The notable reception hall has exposed timbers, parquet flooring (which also features in the majority of the reception rooms) and an inset wood-burner with carved oak surround. From here a grand staircase rises to the first floor. The extensive drawing room has further exposed timbers, an open fireplace with stone surround and a bay window which provides a great deal of natural light. With French doors to a side terrace, the large dining room leads into the fantastic kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams.

The fabulous kitchen has a central island and is fitted with bespoke oak units with granite worktops over, and a variety of integrated appliances; there are further French doors leading out to the rear. The kitchen can be entered through an inner hallway which also gives access to the sitting room, study, utility room, boot room and cloakroom.

On the first floor a wide, split level landing with a great deal of natural light gives access to five double bedrooms (three en-suite), and a family bathroom. The majority of the rooms have wonderful views over the property’s own land and countryside beyond.

Smart electric double gates open to the drive which splits to provide access to parking areas at both the front and rear of the house. The two paddocks are bordered by wooden post and rail fencing with double five-bar gates allowing vehicular access to both. The grounds are well maintained and feature a variety of charming sections with a mixture of beech and yew hedging throughout, interspersed with pathways to formal lawned areas, a well garden, vegetable garden with greenhouse, games garden, sunken garden partially bordered by a ragstone wall, and a recently renovated tennis court. The orchard is well stocked with a variety of fruit trees including pear, apple, plum, peach, cherry, cobnut and walnut trees. Alongside the orchard is a well planted vineyard.

To the rear is a stable block, comprising two single garages, two loose boxes, a store, and a summer house. This building has recently been granted full planning permission to convert and link to the main house to create a two bedroom annexe (further details can be found on the Ashford Borough Council planning portal - reference 15/01336/AS). Adjacent is a further outbuilding with store and potting shed.
