Aldergate Wood is a very spacious detached family home offering almost 5,200 sq ft of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. Set on a 17 acre plot, it is located in a peaceful woodland position on the sought-after Greensand Ridge, close to local village and town centre amenities.

Designed to offer an exceptional setting for both family life and entertaining, the accommodation maximises the panoramic views across the Kent countryside to the sea.

The generous accommodation radiates from a central staircase hall with a fireplace, which leads to a fitted utility room with adjacent WC and a door to the garden.

The accommodation comprises a sitting room with an open fireplace, open to a snug or study with French doors to the garden; a family room with French doors leading to a gazebo-covered decked terrace; and a door to a side hall, which includes a useful cloakroom/shower room and provides access to the front of the property, and to a study with a large sky lantern.

The kitchen/breakfast room features a range of wall and base units, an Aga, a walk-in larder, modern integrated appliances, and a breakfast area opening into a rear-aspect dining room. A door from the breakfast area leads to a rear hall, which includes a useful cloakroom, a walk-in store, stairs rising to a vaulted 43 ft playroom above the garages—suitable for a variety of uses—and doors to the integral double garage and to a walkway providing access to a single garage, boiler room, and potting shed.

The first floor provides a principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, also accessible from the first side hall, together with five further bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom and a door to a private balcony, and a family bathroom with separate neighbouring WC.

The property is approached over a long tarmac driveway providing private parking and giving access to the double and single garages, external stairs rising to the large first floor playroom.

The garden surrounding the house is laid mainly to lawn interspersed with flower and shrub beds and mature trees, and features a tennis court (requiring refurbishment), numerous seating areas and decked and paved terraces, the whole ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining and enjoying panoramic views towards the sea over Romney Marsh and rolling Kent countryside.
