Bedgebury Road

Goudhurst, Kent, TN17

Magnificent Grade II listed house dating to 1905 with natural swimming pond and breathtaking views to the south.

Set on the edge of Goudhurst, this beautifully proportioned country house sits within 6.6 acres of gardens and paddock, with far reaching views to the south towards Bedgebury Forest. Built by master builders Davis and Leavey of Goudhurst and completed for the Jessel family, it has been in the same family for over forty years, and was comprehensively renovated in 2011 and 2012. Over 7,000 sq ft of living accommodation is arranged across three floors. Rich with original features, fireplaces and detailed panelling, it is ideal for entertaining yet retains a warm family feel. The grand entrance hall welcomes you from the front door and sweeps through to the veranda at the rear, where the view opens out across the valley. The main rooms open off this central space, with a formal drawing room, panelled dining room and study. At the heart of the home is a large kitchen, dining and sitting area where most of the day is spent. Behind it are a walk in fridge, boot room and separate laundry room. On the first floor, the principal suite looks out towards the view, with a dressing room and ensuite bathroom. A guest bedroom has its own ensuite, with two further bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large linen cupboard. The second floor has four bedrooms and a large bathroom, ideal as a children's floor. A large glass fronted wine cellar, cinema and gym occupy the lower ground level. Outside, the grounds move from ornamental and vegetable gardens to a large croquet lawn and a beautiful park like paddock. A natural swimming pond lies within the landscape with a summer house nearby, while a triple garage and a collection of store rooms and outbuildings complete the setting.Show more
