A Beautifully Appointed Country House Providing A Wonderful Lifestyle In A Stunning Garden Setting

The Well House is a beautiful family home set in the stunning surroundings of the Elham Valley mid way between Canterbury and the vibrant town of Folkestone. The house has been fundamentally rebuilt and extensively remodelled by the current owners to deliver an exceptionally elegant and comfortable home with careful thought to the requirements of family life. The house has Victorian, Edwardian and possibly earlier origins which are now fronted by a wonderful façade replicating the timeless elegance and appealing symmetry of the Georgian era.

Beneath a pillared portico, the front door opens to an entrance lobby and elegant reception hall beyond. Sitting to the centre of the house, this generous space provides an exceptional start to the sophisticated and well-designed accommodation. To the right of the hall, three reception rooms - a drawing room, a dining room and a study - enjoy Edwardian proportions with high ceilings and large windows and fireplaces. The dining room has a deep bay window, as does the study which is lined with fitted bookshelves and cupboards. The drawing room has two sets of French doors opening to the garden and flooding this room with light.

Across the hall, a fantastic family kitchen is arranged around an island and Aga. Fitted with timeless, traditionally styled units, the room is open to a beautiful orangery which is flooded with light and draws in the landscaped gardens. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful boot room with access down to the cellar as well as a generous utility room.

The staircase rises to a spacious galleried landing, passing a tall sash window with southerly views towards Elham. Together with the hall these wonderfully indulgent spaces give the house a lovely, generous and airy feel.

The principal bedroom is double aspect with stunning views over the surrounding countryside and benefits from a fitted dressing room and an en suite bathroom. There are three further bright double bedrooms, two of which are en suite, all with fireplaces. The family bathroom completes this level. Stairs then rise to the second floor where there are two further bedrooms, one en suite, and also a dressing room.
