The White House, Sandwich Road, Eastry, CT13

An elegant, refurbished village house with a secluded garden and period stable building with consent for residential conversion.

The White House is an elegant Grade II Listed village house which combines both Georgian and Victorian architecture to create a property which is full of character and flexible living space. The later Victorian wing provides large, light rooms with tall sash windows which complement the original 18th Century house. Extensively and immaculately refurbished during its current ownership, The White House provides a superb opportunity to acquire a substantial property in the heart of a thriving village.

The principal reception rooms are situated off a long hall with staircases at either end rising to the first floor. The formal drawing room occupies the Victorian part of the house, having a wonderful tall ceiling and windows. This elegant room is arranged around an open fire, and glazed doors lead through to a conservatory with a travertine floor; this provides a bright entertaining space overlooking the gardens. A more informal family sitting room is found to the opposite end of the hall and has a cast iron fireplace. There is a further well-proportioned dining room, currently arranged as a playroom. The kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully fitted with a range of stone coloured units with granite work surfaces and a wood burning stove.

There is an extensive lower ground floor where there is an original range and wash copper with newly laid York stone flooring throughout. This area provides an excellent utility space, store rooms and a wine cellar as well as a study. There is access to a rear courtyard and a further flight of stairs returns to the hall, where there is a cloakroom.

A staircase rises past a further cloakroom to a bright first floor landing. The master bedroom is situated to the front of the house and is double aspect with large sash windows, a cast iron fireplace with marble surround, and extensive fitted wardrobes to one wall. Across the landing is a beautifully fitted family bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle and there are two further bedrooms to the front and back of the house. There is also a further family bathroom which is Jack and Jill through from the landing to a secondary landing, which can be accessed from a staircase from the rear hall. There are two further bedrooms, one of which has a cast iron fireplace with cupboards to either side, and the other is to the front of the house. There is also a shower room.
