Hartley Straße

Hartley Mount is a handsome, grand scale Edwardian villa, offering approximately 5,100 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation with a private south facing wraparound garden, and a detached coach house, within walking distance of the historic Wealden town of Cranbrook.
The house retains much of its Edwardian character, with impressive ceiling heights, large bay windows, elegant fireplaces and generous room volumes throughout. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation is wonderfully versatile, providing an exceptional setting for both family life and entertaining.
Entering through a distinctive half-hexagon vestibule, the ground floor offers a series of impressive reception rooms, each with its own character. The magnificent reception hall with its grand staircase doubles as a sitting room with traditional wall panelling, an exposed brick fireplace with log burner, and access to the elegant conservatory, currently used for dining. The drawing room enjoys a broad bay window, decorative detailing and a fireplace with wood burning stove, while doors open directly onto the garden. The formal dining room, with exposed floorboards, bay window and fireplace, provides a particularly atmospheric space for entertaining.
The large double aspect, L-shaped kitchen and breakfast room benefits from a separate walk-in larder with traditional stone shelving. A utility boot room, and cloakroom, complete the ground floor accommodation.
Two staircases lead to the first floor, where the principal bedroom enjoys an ensuite bathroom, fireplace and fitted storage. Three further double bedrooms, two with ensuite facilities, and a family bathroom occupy the remainder of this floor. Above, the second floor provides four additional double bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms, and a spacious landing that doubles as a study.
Outside, a spacious gravel driveway leads towards the detached coach house and garaging, with mature trees and established hedging providing privacy. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with mature specimen trees, colourful borders and an elevated terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The detached coach house, garaging and glasshouse offer valuable additional space, with potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation or alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents.
The home combines the architectural elegance and generous proportions of a substantial Edwardian home with the convenience of Cranbrook’s amenities and excellent schools close at hand.
