Description silton Hoe is understood to date from around 1927 and has been added to over the years but still retains the distinct ‘modernist’ style popular at the time. Internally the property offers flexible accommodation including a spacious reception hall with its staircase rising to a well-lit galleried landing. The three principal reception rooms are an elegant drawing room with French windows to the terrace, formal dining room and a spacious study. The dining room opens to a bright and spacious conservatory with outstanding garden views. a comfortable kitchen / breakfast room also benefits from a French window to the garden terrace and has a cosy adjoining family room with a brick hearth and woodburning stove. First floor accommodation provides a guest suite with a dressing room and bathroom, five further bedrooms and two family bath / shower rooms, all of which enjoy attractive garden views. Whilst silton Hoe would benefit from sympathetic upgrading and decoration it has the potential to provide a comfortable and spacious family home of great charm and character in one of the most outstanding situations imaginable. an alternative view however might be that this outstanding site deserves an even more impressive property. a sixty acre site in a designated area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is not an everyday occurrence, particularly as the gardens and equestrian facilities are already established.
