Property description

A truly remarkable Victorian house set in a most beautiful garden is an apt way to begin describing this very substantial five bedroom detached residence. Having been home to Sir William Crundale; the man nicknamed 'Mr Dover' for his unrivalled influence on Dover's development in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it comes with a proud and interesting past.
You will be instantly struck by the splendour of the building as you approach it and equally impressed with the grandeur and sheer size of the rooms. The hall leads to a number of high ceilinged receptions including a 19ft dining room with a large bay window and a spectacular 24ft main reception featuring an arched sliding mirror above the fireplace. This room leads to the conservatory from which you can admire the grounds. There is additional reception room with a bay to to the rear, as well as a breakfast room leading off from the 20ft farmhouse style kitchen, and a downstairs cloakroom on the ground floor. A double staircase leads to the first floor where you will find four very generously sized bedrooms with the Master having a luxuriously sized en suite including a stand alone roll top and ball and claw foot bath, in addition to the bathroom. On the second floor there is a further good sized bedroom which could alternatively make for a great studio space. The property also benefits from a good sized cellar with plenty of space to store your wine.
Outside is where it really all comes together in the form a truly outstanding rear garden. An Indian rag stone terrace to the front leads to an extremely well stocked organic herb garden which is awash with colour, and a croquet lawn which steps down to the main lawn. The setting is so splendid you really do feel like you are in your own bit of heaven making it perfect for garden parties and events. You also have walk through woodland area alongside which make up the hundred or so trees that the garden is blessed with. The picture is complete with block paved off road parking to the front with double wooden gates leading to further off road parking and the delightful detached cottage. This provides completely separate accommodation having a modern fitted kitchen and living room on the ground floor with two bedrooms and shower room upstairs. It opens out onto its own terrace looking out the wonderful garden. It has been estimated that it will generate £750-£800pcm.
