Property description

This property must be without question one of the most exceptional and remarkable homes in Maidstone. Few know of its existence as it is tucked away in a peaceful corner of a residential road near the centre of town.

Enjoying grade II status and dating back to 1851, this former hunting lodge is as imposing as is it beautiful. The stunning Victorian gothic architecture delights as all the different facets to its character emerge. This home is set within generous wrap around gardens allowing you to admire the craftsmanship from every angle. It may be the crenellated tower that strikes a chord or perhaps the lancet windows and doors, but everyone will find something to admire within the wealth of architectural features.

As with any home of this substance the living accommodation is not only generous but practical.

Incredible high ceilings and stunning features are here in abundance. A pitched roof balcony, spiral staircase leading to a turret, casement windows and stunning fireplaces and extensive wine cellarage only enhance the experience.

More recently, the impressive cellarage has been converted into a luxury lower ground suite which could easily be adapted for alternative use.

Extensive parking is also on offer via the electric gate and the old stables have been converted into a four double-door garage block.

What the Owner says:

We have loved living in this wonderful home. It has afforded us fantastic accommodation in a secluded and quiet location whilst being just minutes from the considerable facilities that this county town offers.

Excellent infant, primary and grammar schools, quality shops and high-speed rail links into London are all easily walkable and motorway links are just minutes away. We have so enjoyed being able to walk to the local pub, cinema, market, river and restaurants plus many hops across the channel for a day’s shopping in France.
