Description
This house is a favourite of mine, and the mesmerising views are spellbinding -- Alex Davies, Managing Director
#TheGardenOfEngland
A transformative architect designed home entirely surrounded by its own downland meadow in one of the most commanding locations on the North Downs.
Far reaching southerly views over the Kent countryside panorama towards the coastline.
In all about 9.75 acres
Tenure - Freehold
Council Tax Band - E
An architect designed family home conceived from an earlier dwelling with parts preserved and a transformative extension creating a dwelling worthy of the commanding location to maximise the unrivalled views.
The privacy of the property cannot be overstated with the house sited at the foot of the Downs yet raised above the lane out of sight.
This home is presented with an imaginative and stylish design but is not ostentatious using a neutral pallet to maximise light and good ceiling heights. There is a warm and homely feel with eye-catching features such as a bespoke steel staircase banister, exposed natural brickwork and a delightful veranda.
A selection of characterful farm sheds have been retained to preserve future potential promising a garage replacement according to the future owner’s aspirations.
Fox Burs is a hidden gem invisible from the lane below and surrounded by downland meadow within its ownership on the North Downs, part of the Kent Downs National Landscape, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
It is possible to gently climb to the top of the meadow to celebrate a truly panoramic view and gaze at the sun rising in the East or setting in the West.
The south-facing paddocks, with their elevated North Downs position and chalk-rich soils, offer excellent potential for the establishment of a boutique vineyard.
The house is equidistant between the highly regarded villages of Stowting and East Brabourne and the popular Pub/Restaurants the Tiger and the Five Bells.
Both villages have good primary schools, amenities and a convenience store at Brabourne Lees a little further beyond.
Access to the M20 motorway and the City of Canterbury, and towns of Ashford and Folkestone are within just a few miles with the wider area well served by communication links, retail outlets and a choice of schools both in the state and independent sectors.
