A charming Grade II listed two bedroom, two bathroom ground floor former dairy house with its own private garden set within a stunning mansion house estate, with 16 acres of maintained grounds including tennis courts, swimming pool, formal gardens, private garage and parking, located in a wonderfully secluded rural setting just 4 miles south of the market town of Faversham.
This magnificent estate was orginally designed by the famous architect Sir John Soane having been constructed in 1654 and formally owned by the Sondes family. The estate was converted into private luxury dwellings some 30 years ago.
Upon arrival at Lees Court, a private driveway from the village of Sheldwich Lees leads through tended landscaped grounds leading to a visitor parking area and the entrance to the stable yard complex.
On walking round you pass through another arch into a circular lawned area which leads to the private entrances for this home.
The Dairy House has been thoughtfully renovated and redesigned by the current owners, with a modern kitchen and second bathroom added being just some of the imroevements to enjoy.
With accommodation over one floor this beautiful property is ideal for those looking for a property without stairs.
Outside, the property enjoys its own private hedged rear garden plus the use of 16 acres of maintained grounds which include extensive lawned areas with floral beds and pathways, an outdoor heated swimming pool, all-weather tennis courts. Private parking is provided by a single garage (with EV charger) and additional parking space. For visitors, there is a dedicated visitor car park.
Sheldwich is a delightfully pretty village lying some four miles south of the market town of Faversham and 10 miles north of Ashford, both with an excellent array of shopping and leisure facilities and main line railway stations providing fast access to London and the Kent coast.
Fast road networks are easily accessible by car with junction 6 of the M2 motorway being just 1.5 miles to the north, providing access to the capital and north Kent.
The tenure of The Dairy House is sometimes known as Common Freehold, whereby each owner owns a share of the Freehold in Lees Court Estate Limited.
The house is held on a 999-year Lease dating from
1994 with a peppercorn rent payable.
As a share Freehold, the new owner will become a
shareholder and join existing residents in maintaining and servicing the property to afford a country estate lifestyle for all occupants.
The annual service charge is collected monthly (£273) which includes communal gardening, window cleaning, exterior maintenance, gutter clearance and running costs. A building insurance premium is payable (£71.88
per month).
