The house is approached via a gravelled driveway behind security gates with lawned garden to either side leading to hardstanding with ample space for vehicle parking, access to the large almost quad garage and even more space which would suit motorhome or boat storage should one require it. The house offers well proportioned, well balanced and versatile accommodation with a quality specification throughout. The spacious hallway leads to all ground floor rooms including a triple aspect living room measuring over 23ft-long and features an inglenook fireplace with log burning stove in pride of place. The grand kitchen-dining room features a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams and part oil fired and part electric Aga. There’s a downstairs bedroom and bathroom featuring a corner bath and separate shower, large study/office room which alternatively could be utilised as a fourth bedroom. Upstairs are two bedrooms, the master having en-suite and dressing room facilities. Outside the plot measures approximately three quarters of an acre with a perimeter hedge and is gated to the road with CCTV cameras and the house benefits from a security alarm system. The detached garage is huge and may suit conversion, subject to any relevant consents. The house further benefits from under floor heating and each room is individually thermostatically controlled. Wormshill is a small village and civil parish predominantly surrounded by farmland with excellent walking and horse- riding countryside with numerous footpaths and quiet lanes. The villages of Doddington and Hollingbourne are close-by with essential amenities, pretty greens, churches, pubs and a well-regarded primary school in Hollingbourne. The nearby towns of Faversham, Sittingbourne and Maidstone have good road links via the M2 and M20, high speed rail services to London St Pancras, and direct links to the City and Victoria. All three towns offer a wide variety of shopping, dining, leisure and recreational facilities including educational facilities and grammar schools. The Cathedral City of Canterbury is only 20 miles away where you will find a wider range of facilities. The Channel Tunnel is only 30 miles away and Ebbsfleet International 23 miles which also give connections to the Continent. There are numerous leisure facilities in the local vicinity including the Hucking Estate Woodland Trust, Leeds castle golf course and the World renowned Tourist attraction 'Leeds castle' as well as various sport and leisure centres. Our Time Here Island View is a beautiful place to live. We are in a rural setting with no neighbouring properties but have excellent local amenities, so we don’t feel isolated. There are a variety of local countryside pubs and restaurants nearby which we can stop off at after a walk. Transport connections across the local area make travelling short and long distances easy. We have lived here since 1997 and have always found the property to provide everything we need. Each room has its own individual character and they are all filled with natural light. In the winter we can individually regulate the temperature of the underfloor heating in each of the rooms downstairs. The main living area is always warm and welcoming, especially with the multifuel burner in the inglenook fireplace. The kitchen is a large room with an eight-seater dining table, it has high ceilings with wooden beams which add to the character. We have plenty of worksurface space and a four oven Aga. Our garden is beautiful, the huge lawn and patio provide us with excellent spaces to entertain in the summer and for children to play. It has a surrounding hedgerow and we have electric gates at the front of the property. There is plenty of potential to add to the spaces we have here too, while we haven’t needed the extra room you could look to build on the plot with the relevant permissions as there would be more than enough space to add in a bungalow. The garage could also be connected to the main house to be used as further living accommodation too and it already has its own bathroom. This has been a really enjoyable place to live, the surrounding countryside is beautiful, there is a wide variety of wildlife and we have loved our time here during the last 23 years.

  • Penn Court with Two Cottages and a Holiday Let
    Penn Court Manor Lane | Hollingbourne | Maidstone, Kent | ME17 1UN PENN COURT WITH TWO COTTAGES AND A HOLIDAY LET Seller Insight This very large and extremely elegant Grade II Listed Manor House enjoys a superb position within the charming village of Hollingbourne. “Penn Court originally dates back to the 17th century and has been in our family since the 1950s,” says Pauline. “My husband was actually brought up here as a teenager. We have lived in the house for the past twenty five years and I have to say we’ve absolutely loved every minute.” “It’s a house that’s oozing with character, from the pine panelled room and the oak panelled room to the huge inglenook fireplace, there is an absolute wealth of beautiful original features throughout. It’s a very old and elegant home, but not in the slightest bit oppressive because each of the rooms is extremely generously proportioned with lovely high ceilings, so there’s wonderful feeling of space throughout. Over the years we’ve updated certain elements to suit our way of living, but there’s certainly a lot of scope for the house to be enhanced further.” “The grounds are also absolutely gorgeous; I am the chief gardener, but I do have some professional help, so the whole of the outside space is looking splendid,” continues Pauline. “We have open lawns, lots of beautiful box hedging and a gorgeous parterre right next to the swimming pool,” continues Pauline. “It’s filled with an array of fragrant plants, including roses and lavender, so it’s gorgeous during the summer.

  • Australian and International Laws on Export Controls for Cultural Heritage
    AUSTRALIAN AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS ON EXPORT CONTROLS FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE Linda Young Cultural Heritage Management, University of Canberra, ACT Paper presented at the Art Crime Protecting Art, Protecting Artists and Protecting Consumers Conference convened by the Australian Institute of Criminology and held in Sydney, 2-3 December 1999 Almost every country has laws to protect its cultural heritage. But the effectiveness of these laws is significantly shaped by the pressures of internal economics and international markets, with the result that legal protection and the possibilities of legal action have very different consequences in different locations. At root is the market inequity of so-called ‘art-supply’ countries and ‘art-market’ countries. These euphemisms are a dry economic way to describe the dynamic created by rich nations whose citizens want to own art products and poor nations whose citizens can sell items harvested from their local environments. To the latter people, pottery from Peruvian graves or sculpture from Cambodian temples are economic survival resources in the same way as forests provide timber and rivers provide fish. Selling ceramics and stone-sculpture brings cash into poor communities in need of every penny they can get. The goods they sell are desired by another kind of society altogether, where such objects placed on display in homes and offices constitute evidence of the new owner’s taste, knowledge and wealth. This need grows from the Renaissance tradition of collecting art and antiquities as an activity of the rich and aristocratic; it has been transformed thanks to the 20th century democratisation of wealth. Today (notwithstanding local inequalities) a comparatively huge number of people can afford the pleasures and trappings of art, which still expresses a special aura of prestige.
