OUTSIDE

Court Lodge sits within just under 4.4 acres of land made up of gardens, paddock and bluebell woodland. The beautiful south facing garden houses many mature trees and flower beds, and beyond are far reaching Southerly and Westerly views. The outside space is truly a garden of Kent, with an orchard comprising cobnuts, plums, brown turkey figs, apples, quince, pear and a greengage tree.

There is a polytunnel and greenhouse for growing all year round, a potting shed complete with sink, and many fruit cages and raised vegetable beds.

The impressive leisure complex features an 11-metre saltwater swimming pool, complete with an electric cover and a retractable roof that opens to reveal half the pool and an adjoining sun terrace. From the poolside, bi-fold doors
lead into a kitchenette (including a microwave, sink, fridge and fitted cupboards), a changing room, a steam room, and a bathroom with a double shower, WC, and vanity unit. Further inside, you’ll find a gym, also enjoying access to the outdoors through additional bi-fold doors that open onto a small patio. Continuing the leisure theme, the property also benefits from a hard-surface tennis court.

Additional outbuildings include a charming summer house, and a double garage with electric doors, incorporating a workshop and a separate storage room - currently used by the owners for storing and freezing their plentiful fruit harvests. Further facilities include a tool shed, a dedicated shed housing the inverter and 10kw of batteries powered by the 16 solar panels on the pool-house roof that provide up to half of the electricity needs for the house, and a pump room for the swimming pool’s maintenance and operation.
