Full property description
A substantial and exceptionally beautiful, detached property built in the early 1800s but has since been artistically renovated and creatively extended using the highest degree of architecture and attention to detail.
Lavington House has a envious rural setting with incredible, uninterrupted views of the Kent Downs, yet just moments from the village of Wye with its outstanding selection of schools and main line train station which connects with London in less than an hour.
Lavington House now offers approx. 3000 sq.ft of impressively spacious light and airy accommodation which combines character and modern convenience which balance beautifully with the fine joinery and interior design.
The property occupies a generous plot of 0.37 acres of grounds which wrap around the property and include a substantial driveway which leads to an integral garage.
The current owners have restored and enhanced the property using natural materials and clever architectural design which frames the surroundings and embraces a wonderful amount of light and energy.
Exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and latch key doors flourish throughout the oldest part of the house, whilst the vaulted ceilings, extensive aluminium glazing and modern fixtures are at an abundance within the extension.
The handsome front door leads to a vaulted entrance hall with boot room and quirky cloakroom, polished resin floors lead directly onto a full height reception room, currently used as a snug with a double-sided modern wood burning stove.
To the left there is a striking open plan family room which has been designed to frame the splendid views through the sliding doors which span almost the full length of the extension. There are exposed rafters which add a depth of character, whilst the double-sided wood burning stove is enjoyed by the relaxed seating area.
The kitchen has been designed and fitted by the Shaker Kitchen Company and combines an array of floor units finished with quartz work tops, integrating a butler sink and Bosch dishwasher, there is a large solid wood island with built in storage and breakfast bar seating.
The kitchen is further enhanced by a utility room and traditional style pantry.
The dual aspect sitting room is in the oldest part of the property and has rich wooden beams, exposed brick work and an inglenook fireplace with a large wood burning stove nestled beneath an oak bressummer.
To the first floor there are five bedrooms and three bathrooms, the main bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with pale painted rafters, the extensive privacy glazing offers a Julliet balcony which takes in the elevated views whilst there is a large dressing room and luxury ensuite bathroom with free standing bathtub and walk in electric shower.
OUTSIDE:
The gravelled driveway provides parking for several cars and leads one to an integral garage whilst also providing an EV point an access directly into the utility room and pantry perfect for bringing in shopping.
Lavington House occupies 0.37 of an acre and is bordered by fencing and mature hedging, it is mainly laid to lawn with a few mature trees and several outbuildings. There is a raised decked seating area which benefits from evening sunshine and glorious views of the Kent Downs.
