Property Description

Swanton Court is a most handsome Grade II Listed property set in a tucked away, yet conveniently situated, position a little outside the popular commuter town of Ashford. An unadopted road leads to the private drive and a bridge over the moat leads to a parking and turning area at the front and side of the house, adjacent to the granary and outbuildings.

The vendors have undertaken a substantial programme of improvement works, including a state of the art modern heating system, brand new drainage, and internal improvements. A move overseas means that they are leaving before the final works to the master bedroom are complete, allowing an incoming buyer to complete these works to their own taste. Listed Building consent is in place for the creation of a garden room.

The whole house features large, bright rooms and is centred on a generous staircase and landing which are both lit with large central windows/doors in the main front façade of the house which is of the elegant Georgian proportions expected in a house of this period.

The day-to-day entrance is through the kitchen door; the large kitchen/breakfast room has been expanded to create a superb family room, with a door to the terrace and garden. It is well fitted and has a generously sized utility room and scullery. Beyond is the staircase hall with doors opening to the drawing room and sitting room: The panelled drawing room has a central fireplace and is double aspect; the sitting room is also double aspect.

The first floor is arranged with four bedrooms. The double aspect master bedroom has a large en-suite shower room and adjoining bathroom (currently prepared for refitting) There is a large guest bedroom, and the third and fourth bedrooms are found either side of the family bathroom.

A concealed staircase rises to the second floor where there is a useful and large fifth bedroom with adjoining study.

Swanton Court is set amongst attractive countryside, between Ashford and Mersham, very conveniently set for commuting to London. Ashford offers a wide range of leisure, education and shopping facilities, including the Designer Outlet. The cathedral city of Canterbury provides a further broad array of amenities and excellent schools.

Ashford International offers regular High Speed commuter trains to London St Pancras (with journey times from 36 minutes), as well as regular services to the Continent. There are excellent road communications, with the nearby M20 (Junction 10) giving access to major motorway networks. The Eurotunnel Terminal at Folkestone is also close by.

The gardens immediately around the house are divided into a number of areas with large sweeping lawns running down to the moat. There are extensive flower beds, well planted with shrubs and plants, and formal hedges dividing the different areas of garden.

A formal vegetable garden is approached over a bridge over the moat and may have potential for the construction of an annexe to complement the house, subject to any necessary consents. Please note that a small area of lawn to the West of the moat is not within the ownership of the vendor, but has been maintained by them.
