"From the moment I drove through the gates to this property I knew it was going to be special and it did not disappoint". - Sam Newman Marketing Consultant.

Built in 1936, Faygate is an exceptional country residence set within approximately two acres of private grounds.

Discreetly positioned just off the A20, this elegant home offers a rare combination of seclusion, space and accessibility. Approached through natural screening of mature woodland and hedging, the property enjoys a peaceful setting just over one mile from the picturesque Lenham Square.

The house offers generous and versatile living space perfectly suited to modern family life as well as entertaining. To the ground floor are two well proportioned family rooms which bathe in natural light and enjoy attractive views over the garden and surrounding grounds. There is a large kitchen, with breakfast area that naturally leads to a useful utility space. Along with a most charming conservatory, the ground floor concludes with a study, two cloakrooms and a cellar.

On the first floor are four well proportioned double bedrooms with three of them offering built in wardrobes. To the main bedroom there is a large four piece ensuite. The first floor concludes with a separate toilet and shower room.

To the second floor is the fifth bedroom which over the years has been used as a games room. There is also a shower room.

The house is set in beautiful grounds which include manicured lawns, mature woodland, wild garden areas and a large patio to the south elevation. Added to all of this is the tennis court. Faygate benefits from a large driveway, suitable for multiple vehicles. There is a double garage, large workshop, additional outbuilding and wooden structured greenhouse.

The nearby village of Lenham offers a selection of local amenities including independent shops, public houses, school and a mainline train station with direct connections to London.

Being marketed with no onward chain, this is an opportunity to acquire a country home offering space and privacy in a highly desirable Kent setting.
