Property description
St Martins is a delightful 1930s house that has been lovingly refurbished from scratch by the owners, during the past 15 years. They have sensitively combined the property’s charming period features with everything you need for 21st-century living. Nestling in 0.77 acres of secluded grounds and surrounded by farmland, this is the ultimate home for anybody who enjoys their leisure time. The vast conservatory can incorporate a full-size professional snooker table and still have room for a bar, seating and an office area. You can spend many happy hours in the outdoor leisure area with its heated swimming pool and cantilevered cover, shower and sauna. Adjacent to the pool is ‘Club St Martins’ – a summer house that has been converted to a fully equipped bar – and nearby is a built-in barbecue and a children’s ‘secret garden’, so everyone is catered for.
From the moment you park your car in the circular driveway beside the stunning fountain and see the beautiful wood and leaded glass front door, you will be impatient to look inside. Once across the threshold the attractive hall ushers you through to the stunning kitchen/breakfast room with its attractive units, where anyone who enjoys cooking will be in their element. There is a wine cellar, a large utility room with access to the back garden vegetable patch and an elegant dining room for more formal entertaining, while friends and family can relax in the spacious sitting room. With a modern bathroom and four double-bedrooms including the large master with en suite facilities, there is plenty of room for all the family. However, the attic area could also be developed as a haven for teenage children needing their own space.
What the Owner says:
We have spent 15 wonderful years here and thoroughly enjoyed renovating the house. We literally stripped the house back to basics and have refurbished everything including total rewiring and plumbing. Our idea was to create a home where we and our family and friends could have fun. We love entertaining and as well as regular dinner parties and snooker events, visitors always look forward to our ‘outdoor parties’. In addition to the pool, barbecue and bar we often include croquet on the lawn and we have even created a small golf course and play area for the children. We love the tranquil environment, the friendly village community and the wonderful country walks across the adjacent fields and footpaths.
Great Mongeham is a historic place with a 14th-century church, two pubs, a local shop and a nearby post office as well as stables and a tack shop for anyone who enjoys riding. There is a good primary school and Northbourne Prep School in the next village. We are only about a mile from the charming coastal town of Deal with its golf courses, hotels, restaurants, pubs and individual shops leading to the seafront. With Walmer Station only 1.7miles away for the high-speed train to St. Pancras, you could have breakfast on the terrace at home and still be in London in time for work.
