Description
A superbly sited Grade II listed family home with a range of excellent outbuildings
Little Foord is a charming Grade II listed, 18th century country home, in a delightful rural location yet highly accessible to Ashford International and London.
The house has a bright and welcoming feel, with exposed mellow beams, inglenook fireplaces and solid oak flooring adding warmth, superbly paired with a notable glass link providing a modern, open space. The gardens are beautiful, backing onto open fields, and arranged into a series of rooms and entertaining areas, with a collection of superb outbuildings.
The day-to-day entrance is via the kitchen/dining room, a hugely impressive space, with a glass link connecting the main house to a sizeable, vaulted building, housing the dining room and family area, which has bi-fold doors opening to the terrace.
The kitchen features timeless Shaker style units with integrated appliances, an AGA range, a large island with breakfast bar and a butler sink. A nook provides further workspace, units and a further butler sink; there is also a door leading out to the terrace.
The adjoining relaxed living space has an inglenook fireplace and a door to the end leads to the study/guest bedroom. The generous sitting room, with impressive inglenook fireplace, sits next to the cosy snug. A cloakroom completes the ground floor. There is also a laundry room located in the old bakehouse.
Two staircases rise to the first floor, leading to three characterful double bedrooms (two en suite), each with charming views over the gardens and surrounding countryside.
This property has 1.35 acres of land. Outside
Approached via a quiet country lane, double wooden gates open to a gravelled drive which leads to the cart barn and parking area to the rear.
The beautiful gardens are largely laid to lawn, with colourful, year-round plantings and mature boundaries, providing complete privacy and seclusion.
An extensive Yorkstone terrace sits to the rear of the house, providing easy access to the outbuildings, encompassing a series of seating and entertainment areas (including a covered decked area), BBQ bar with ‘outdoor’ kitchen/gym, and a greenhouse and cart barn.
A peaceful walled garden area sits to the south, with a large expanse of lawn to the rear, open to the captivating rural views beyond.
