The plan flows into the adjacent kitchen, modest in size yet thoughtfully appointed with bespoke cabinets. Along the walls, V-groove panelling painted in a warm salmon shade is topped by delicate, patterned wallpaper. Appliances include a Smeg fridge/freezer, Ariston hob and double oven. The large butler sink is complemented by a practical dish drying rack. Large French doors, dressed in a salmon hue that matches the walls, open directly onto the outdoor dining area for easy entertaining in the warmer months. Between the kitchen and living room, a built-in pantry and shelving provide additional storage for glassware and the like.
The airy principal bedroom is accessed directly from the reception area and is bathed in soft morning light pouring through two large, south-east-facing windows that frame views of the surrounding greenery. Arranged in a L-shape configuration, the space includes a generous dressing and lounging area, as well as a semi-open, marble-clad en suite fitted with a freestanding bath. The walls are painted in a distinctive aquamarine shade, beautifully paired with solid wood floorboards to create an uplifting retreat.
A second private bedroom lies quietly to the rear, enveloped in a dark, soothing palette. Its north-westerly orientation lends shifting patterns of light and shadow in the afternoon, for a serene and contemplative atmosphere. Two spacious built-in wardrobes offer plenty of additional storage. Next door, the dual-aspect study provides a calming working or reading space with views over the garden. There is also a shared bathroom, with a bathtub and a separate shower.
The Great Outdoors
The house is set within a sprawling, Grade II-listed garden and park encompassing almost 1,000 acres. Immediately surrounding the house, well-maintained formal lawns are enclosed by neatly clipped yew hedges, creating a refined and orderly landscape and an ever-changing palette across the seasons.
A private, south-facing garden demised to this home spans half an acre, with far-reaching views over the surrounding parkland. Seamlessly accessible from the kitchen, the garden is ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, thoughtfully arranged to include an outdoor dining area.
The apartment also has access to a double garage.
Out and About
Waldershare Park lies about six miles north of Dover. Even closer to home is Waldershare, where The Cider Works is a popular family-run restaurant set in a Georgian building. The nearby village of Eythorne is a short five-minute drive away, with a post office and a local pub, The Crown Inn.
To the west, the Kent Downs National Landscape, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, stretches from Dover to the edge of London and into Surrey. Crisscrossed by footpaths and cycling routes, the region encompasses ancient bluebell woodlands, dramatic chalk coastline, and characterful historic villages, perfect for outdoor adventures and weekend escapes.
The seaside town of Deal is a 20-minute drive from the house. The town is well known for its excellent culinary scene: The Rose Hotel offers stylish rooms and an award-winning restaurant, while bistro-style Frog and Scot and its sister wine bar, Le Pinardier, are just down the road. Merchant of Relish, The Black Pig and Jenkins and Sons are the go-to for groceries, meat and fish respectively, but for local produce, there is also a fantastic Saturday farmers’ market. Dunlin and Diver sells beautiful gifts and accessories, while Old Coves and Mileage are great for furniture. The popular Updown farmhouse lies a few miles inland, serving modern European cuisine in a 17th-century former farmstead and has rooms available for overnight stays.
To the north, Canterbury is a thriving city that brims with history and culture: institutions include Canterbury Cathedral, dating from 597AD, the Marlowe Theatre, Gulbenkian Arts Centre and Canterbury Castle. Canterbury is also renowned for the canals that cut through it, where punting is a favoured pastime.
There are plenty of schooling options in the area. Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School is excellent and can be reached in around five minutes by car. For secondary education, Dover College and Northbourne Park are well-regarded by local families.
The railway station of Dover Priory is a 15-minute drive away and provides direct high-speed routes to London St Pancras International in a little over an hour. There are also regular trains to Charing Cross and London Victoria with journeys between one and a half to two hours. There is easy access to the A2 by car.
