  • 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.
