Full Property Description

An outstanding family house sensitively combining modern amenities with period features having undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and rebuilding, located in a glorious rural setting in the Kent Downs National Landscape.
The property
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.
