An Exquisite Georgian House Set In Delightful Gardens

The Red House is the quintessential early 18th century Georgian village house and one of the most beautiful in the Elham Valley. True to its name, this exceptionally elegant house is built of mellow red brick, having a particularly pleasing symmetrical front elevation perfectly adorned by an ancient wisteria. The current owner has carried out a sympathetic programme of upgrading and maintenance during their ownership with advice from a renowned local conservation architect.

Listed Grade II, internally, the house has a fine range of reception rooms. Either side of the entrance hall sits a comfortable sitting room and a dining room, the latter leading in turn to the library which - in common with the drawing room - enjoys pretty views of the garden through tall windows.

Linked by a generous hall with a fireplace, the side wing of the house provides a fantastic kitchen and breakfast room as well as an office or snug. Together these spaces provide excellent spaces for day-to-day family living and entertaining, bolstered by a utility room, larder, cloakrooms, a boot room and store.

On the first floor the principal bedroom offers an extremely comfortable arrangement, having a dressing room off which are both a bathroom and a shower room. The second bedroom has an en suite shower room, and a third bedroom sits adjacent to the generous family bathroom. The second floor continues to be well-proportioned and provides four further bedrooms and a bathroom.
