Unique Semi-Detached Manor House in Kent

This property is on the market for £1,595,000, listed with Strutt and Parker.

The Manor comprises the principal part of a magnificent Grade II listed manor house, originally built in the early 17th century in the Jacobean style.

Significant alterations were made in the early 20th century by Edwin Lutyens and his landscaping partner Gertrude Jeykll, who is believed to have redesigned the 1.5 acres of gardens.

Although the property is attached to its neighbour, the impressive 6000 square foot residence retains the feeling of a detached house, featuring  a stunning reception hall with original oak panelling and wide oak floorboards, in addition to a wonderful open fireplace and ornate cornicing, as well as several reception rooms, 6 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms.

The 32-foot drawing room opens out onto the property’s private grounds, featuring paved terraces and lovely gardens with box hedging, colourful flower beds, a brick gazebo and the property’s original orangerie with lovely arched windows.

Located in Sholden village, near the coastal town of Deal in Kent, the property is in close proximity to local amenities and the beach
