Property description
Guide Price £400,000 - £425,000
A sympathetically and thoughtfully restored Grade II Listed period home directly opposite Mote Park.
Willington House built circa 1795 and formerly the home of Lilian Bland who became the first lady in the World to design, build and fly an aircraft known as the 'Mayfly'.
Ms Bland who was born in Maidstone is understood to have lived at Willington House around the turn of the 20th Century.
The accommodation which is both light and airy with high ceilings fuses the character and contemporary fittings perfectly and must be seen to be fully appreciated.
The entrance doors open into the most grand 20' reception hall complete with open fireplace and beautiful staircase; this in turn provides access to both reception rooms including the sitting room with large bay window and original wooden shutters, Adams style marble fireplace and the beautifully re-fitted kitchen.
The hall also provides access to the huge 34' dry cellar which boasts good head height at 6'8' and could have a multitude of different uses including : cinema room, gymnasium or playroom. The properties either side do not have the cellar space as Willington House was the primary residence with the properties either side being added in circa 1830 and 1890.
The first floor accommodation includes a master bedroom with a spacious and re-fitted contemporary en-suite shower room. There are a further two double bedrooms and a re-fitted family bathroom with separate shower.
There is a pretty courtyard garden to the rear with an additional parcel of land too and adjacent to the front of the property is a private parking area where we understand there are two allocated spaces.
The property has no ongoing chain for your ease of purchase.
