The surrounding countryside supports a number of leisure pursuits with many walking routes, bridle paths and sporting activities available. Snoadstreet Manor A fine example of a country manor house combining historic character with a handsome and imposing appearance. Despite having 15th Century origins and some fascinating historic character, the accommodation is both practical and flexible having good ceiling heights and plenty of light. The accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes three ground floor reception rooms along with a beautiful first floor morning room which could easily be used as an incredible master bedroom suite of rooms. From the staircase on the way to the second floor is a study with good quality fitted office furniture creating a comfortable home working environment. The second floor suite of rooms could be arranged as an apartment perhaps for a nanny or au pair, if required. Gardens Snoadstreet Manor is approached from the road via a timber five bar gate opening onto a hard driveway leading up to the right hand side of the house with ample space for parking and turning. At the head of the driveway is a detached brick built double garage building and workshop with some old stables. To the right of the driveway is an area of garden beyond which is the paddock (about 1.6 acres). On the opposite side of the drive there are further gardens extending to the very handsome front of the house with further lawns on the opposite side. As the gardens extend away from the house there is a lightly wooded area currently used as a poultry garden. Towards the back of the garden is a further area of trees extending around to a delightful box garden with a very pretty and spacious courtyard ideal for outdoor entertaining/dining. The Land Beyond the gardens to the far right hand side of the house is an adjoining area of paddock or field extending to about 1.6 acres. The land is private and enclosed and could potentially have a new access created to the nearby lane. Services Mains water and electricity are connected. Oil fired central heating/Aga. Private drainage. Directions From the M20 motorway (Junction 9) follow signs towards the A251 in the direction of Faversham. Follow the A251 up onto the North Downs eventually arriving at the roundabout in the village of Challock adjacent to the Halfway House pub. Continue straight over the roundabout and proceed for about 1.5 miles before turning left at the staggered crossroads (opposite the turning for Shottenden) into Faversham Road whereupon the property will be found on the right hand side after about 1 mile. Alternatively, the A251 can be accessed from the M2 motorway (Junction 6). Proceed in the direction of Ashford through the hamlet of North Street passing Sheldwich Church on the left hand side and continue through the hamlets of Badlesmere and Leaveland before turning right at the staggered crossroads (opposite the turning for Shottenden).
