HISTORYFelder Lodge offers a handsome family home of great quality and fine proportions. Built in 1907 and laid out to an 'H' plan, a further wing is thought to have been added at a later date to accommodate an impressive billiard room with a barrel-vaulted ceiling. Solid oak windows with leaded lights and numerous fireplaces are some of the features found within the house and are classic of the era. The property was originally built for Admiral Sir Reginald Henderson. Born in Worth, Henderson had a distinguished naval career and is regarded as the "father" of the Royal Australian Navy. This maritime connection is acknowledged in the charming anchor motif found on the window fastenings.Felder Lodge was also home for a time to Wing Commander John Leighton Beck. Noted for a wartime career of constant action, Beck served in most of the major air theatres as a pilot and commander as well as directing tactical air operations, winning his first DFC in 1940. He and his wife enjoyed playing golf at Sandwich. The butler's bells at the house still bear the Beck name.FELDER LODGEThe striking double entrance door with stone carved surround opens to a lobby with the reception hall beyond, from where a large window floods the space with light and a solid wooden staircase rises to the first floor. The well-proportioned reception rooms to one side comprise a drawing room with views across the garden and a sitting room to the front. Beyond is the magnificent billiard room which provides a sensational formal entertaining space with a rich herringbone parquet floor.The kitchen/breakfast room is a welcoming space fitted with a good range of cabinetry, with plenty of room for a table for day-to-day use. The adjacent double aspect dining room offers a more formal space overlooking the gardens. A front facing study provides a convenient space next to the kitchen/breakfast room.The first and second floors provide generous, well-appointed accommodation of up to seven bedrooms and bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite stretches across the west wing of the house and includes a generous dressing room/bedroom 7 and a bathroom which can also be accessed from the landing, allowing flexibility. The second bedroom offers a lovely guest suite with a dressing area and en suite bathroom. On this floor there are two further bedrooms, one of which has an en suite bathroom accessed via a spiral staircase. There is also a family bathroom and a separate shower. The second floor provides two further bedrooms, a bathroom and a large attic room.Set off a private no through road, Felder Lodge has an impressive approach over a carriage drive with wrought iron electric gates. The house sits well in a private and secluded setting, having a well-established garden with mature trees and borders. A fabulous south-facing terrace stretches across the back, providing a wonderful space in which to relax and entertain. A detached garage building provides extensive garaging for several cars with a self-contained flat above comprising a sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.Worth village is centred on a pretty duck pond and church with a primary school and two public houses. Felder Lodge is just 1.6 miles away from the heart of the popular Sandwich. The thriving coastal town of Deal is also within easy reach and both enjoy "Links" golf courses along with a range of further facilities, including shops and recreational amenities.The Cathedral City of Canterbury offers a plentiful array of restaurants and cafes, together with ample shopping facilities and notable schooling options. Convenient transport links can be found via the A2, A258 and M2, whilst Sandwich station provides rail connections to London as will the Thanet Parkway station at Cliffs End (due to open in 2023). There is good access to the Continent via the Port of Dover and the Channel Tunnel terminal. For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_worth-d543115/for-sale_i71751472
This five-bedroom detached house of over 4,000 sq ft lies in Ightham, Kent, surrounded by over half an acre of meadowed grounds. Built in the 1980s, it was remodelled and extended by the current owners, who have ensured strong connections between indoors and out. Although Ightham has a rural, secluded feel and is within the Kent Downs AONB, nearby Borough Green Station runs services to London Victoria in under 50 minutes, while Sevenoaks Station, a 13-minute drive away, connects to London Bridge in just 23 minutes. The Tour Set behind a set of automatic gates and a sweeping driveway, the house's profile is shaped by a complementary pairing of black composite cladding and red brick. A solid black door is beneath a storm porch that opens to an internal hall laid with five-finger parquet flooring. From here, a circling staircase descends to the living room, lending the space a sunken 'conversation pit' feel. A double-height, mono-pitch ceiling creates an airy yet cosy feel. At the far end, glazed doors open to a flagstone patio - great for summertime hosting, although a gas fire inside ensures year-round functionality. A wide opening off the hallway leads into the dining room, laid with grey stone tiles and with white walls and a second gas fire. The dialogue between the internal plan and the outdoors is maintained by more sliding doors that open to the garden. The kitchen beyond has been conceived with day-to-day needs in mind. White cabinetry takes a U-shape, snaking around the room's generous proportions, and is topped with a grey stone countertop; integrated appliances include a black Miele induction hob, a wine cooler, twin Neff ovens and a steel sink. A useful island adds counter space and subtly demarcates the room. Opposite, the current owners have arranged more casual dining and sitting areas, although the room's versatility lends itself to various configurations. An oriel picture window with a window seat looks over the lawn outside and works with roof lights to fill the space with light. Above, a steel beam painted a fluorescent yellow exemplifies the playfully practical approach to decoration across the plan. A well-considered utility room and study complete the ground-floor plan. In the latter, floor-to-ceiling windows, a built-in desk and open bookshelves make for a comfortable working-from-home environment. Back towards the entrance of the house is a staircase that ascends to a small landing with two double bedrooms opposite one another. In the front room, double-aspect windows overlook neighbouring woodland, while the rear room has a glazed door opening to a patio. The latter also has useful built-in wardrobes. An immaculate bathroom between the bedrooms is finished with fluted windows, grey rubber flooring, antique brass taps and metro tiles and has a free-standing bath and a walk-in shower. Upstairs are three further double bedrooms, all with green outlooks. The main bedroom has wide black-framed sliding doors that open to a slender terrace with views towards the bucolic North Downs. Plenty of storage is concealed behind muted grey shaker-style pocket doors and there is an en suite with a walk-in shower. One of the two further bedrooms has a bank of built-in wardrobes. Both are served by a generous bathroom with a walk-in shower. A basement, accessed from an internal lobby, has been wonderfully adapted for a range of functions. Arranged with lounge seating, it offers a further reception area and has a separate office or, as it's currently used, a crafting area, complete with a built-in L-shaped desk. Outdoor Space Bates Hill has a generous and varied provision of outdoor space. Extensive grounds of around half an acre encompass a large double garage with an EV charging point and a hot/tub training pool. A thoughtful approach to planting is immediately apparent; along the long driveway are mature trees, including oak, hawthorn and ivy, as well as planted beds that teem with grasses and ferns. A planted bed in front of the ground-floor bedroom has red-leaved grass, verbena, camelia, ferns and grasses. The garden connects to the indoors via sliding doors. It is divided between areas of lawn and terraces, including a steel-framed pergola from the dining room and a flagstone-laid patio area currently arranged with lounge seating beneath a steel-framed sunshade. A family of rabbits call this spot home too, and can often be seen frolicking in the garden. A second part of the garden abuts the church's woodland; predominantly lawn, it also has a lovely seating area thoughtfully placed beneath a sloping roof section next to the living room. A glass 'igloo' in the main garden is a wonderful spot to enjoy the warmth on a summer's day. The Area Ightham is a pretty village in the Kent Downs Area of Natural Beauty, around four miles east of Sevenoaks and six miles north of Tonbridge. Surrounded by rolling Kentish hills, Ightham is perhaps best known for Ightam Mote, a 14th-century moated manor house set amid extensive and landscaped gardens. The village has a handy shop, an art gallery - Pratt Contemporary - and Greenacres garden centre. A cosy timber-framed local, George and Dragon, is in the heart of Ightham; there is also a village hall that hosts events throughout the year. Sevenoaks can be reached in around 14 minutes by car. At one end of the town is the beautiful Knole Park, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest with 43 acres of grounds, a country house and two different types of deer. The town itself has a range of shops, restaurants and coffee shops, including Basil and Life on High. Historic pubs are aplenty - the White Hart comes recommended, particularly after a weekend walk at nearby Knole. Tonbridge is also nearby for other amenities, as is Bluewater Shopping Centre, around 17 miles from the house. Kent is known for its excellent schooling options. In the immediate vicinity is Ightham Primary School, which was rated "Outstanding" by Ofsted; there are also primary schools in nearby Borough Green and Shipbourne. There are several secondary schools in Sevenoaks and Tonbridge, several grammar schools as well as well-regarded private schools such as Sevenoaks School and Tonbridge School. The New Beacon School and Walthamstow Preparatory School are also nearby. Ightham sits around 28 miles south-east of London; as a result, connections into the city are quick and frequent. Borough Green Station is just over a mile away and runs services to London Charing Cross, London Bridge and London Blackfriars; from Sevenoaks Station, a 13-minute drive away, services arrive at London Bridge in 23 minutes, with services also connecting to Charing Cross and Cannon Street. The house is also well situated for travel by car, with the M25 and M20 both in easy reach.

Designed and custom built for very discerning owners more than 30 years ago this magnificent and unique residence has never before been on the market. It is surrounded by 5.42 acres of garden, grounds and woodland that stretches across to Hackington Road in Tyler Hill. As you sweep through the impressive electronic wrought iron gates, you are immediately wowed by the sight of the house, the trees and the large oval driveway that surrounds a beautifully manicured lawn and vast oval flower bed. With its Palladian style entrance porch, beautiful mellow brickwork, symmetrical multi-pane and bay windows the exterior of the house is a delight, making you impatient to see what lies beyond the double front door and you won't be disappointed. Immediately you cross the threshold into the warm and welcoming open plan reception hall you realise the beautifully designed interior is something special. The hall is double height with views of the attractive galleried landing, an open tread staircase and fascinating wood framed arches providing an open plan feel through to the kitchen/breakfast room. There is an elegant, dual aspect lounge with an impressive brick fireplace and a modern log fire as well as bespoke carpeting that flows through the main reception rooms and wide sliding doors to the vast Indian sandstone terrace. Through the lounge there is a trendy dual aspect bar and family room with a reinforced floor for a pool table, patio doors to the terrace and an awe inspiring Kent ragstone chimney breast and fireplace with a marble hearth and is just the place to relax after a busy day.What the Owner says:We moved back to the UK from America over 30 years ago and wanted to create a home that was unique and incorporated many of the aspects we had seen in American houses. We were fortunate enough to find a great builder who offered us this amazing piece of land provided we had plenty of imagination and he could build the house. Without further ado we found an equally special architect to work with the builder and this amazing property is the result of which we are extremely proud. It will be a great wrench to leave but we feel it is necessary now to downsize and move nearer our daughter. We would be happy to include any of the fixtures, fittings and furniture with the sale of the house. Although it is very quiet and peaceful, we can walk to Kathton House at the Tylers Kiln for a delicious meal. We are also quite close to the University of Kent and only a short distance to two prominent private schools.
