An immensely charming Grade II listed property with a self contained annexe, set in about 13.85 acres of delightful gardens and adjoining fields.
Description
Located in an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Ranters Hall occupies an idyllic rural setting on the outskirts of the sought after village of Goudhurst, nestled amidst delightful gardens with adjoining fields, amounting to about 13.85 acres.
Now coming to the market for the first time in 36 years, the main house is a handsome Grade II listed building believed to date from the 16th century with later 17th and 19th century additions.
The property also benefits from a self-contained annexe incorporating a kitchen/studio with mezzanine above, shower room and sauna. To the rear, is a light and spacious living area constructed in green oak, Velux windows and panoramic views which overlook the mature gardens.
The property offers versatile family accommodation amounting to in excess of 2,300 sq ft. It includes east facing reception rooms including a sitting room, a dining room and a family room, all of which have impressive inglenook fireplaces with triangular headed-recesses. There is also a snug which is open to the dining room.
The kitchen/breakfast room enjoying wonderful views of the gardens, has a range of cupboards, integral appliances and there is space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Completing the ground floor is a boot room and a WC.
On the first floor are four bedrooms, all independently accessible and one with beautiful wide floorboards. Bedrooms one and two are of excellent proportions with one of them having an en suite shower room, whilst both rooms are served by a bathroom. Two further bedrooms are served by a shower room. All bath/shower rooms are fitted with modern sanitary ware.
Ranters Hall is approached via a wooden gate opening onto parking at the front of the house. There is also a personal gate to the front door. The beautiful gardens and grounds extend to almost 14 acres, and are an outstanding feature of the property. Tucked away behind hedging is a kitchen garden and an orchard planted with apple and peach trees. Situated within the centre of the main garden, is a three bay oak garage housing the mower and further storage.
To the east and south east the property enjoys two further road accesses to Ranters Lane and to the west one to Bluecoat Lane, ideal for the equestrian buyer.
Location
Ranters Hall lies approximately 1 mile to the south west of the historic village of Goudhurst. Vibrant is probably the best adjective to describe Goudhurst with its popular church, dating from 1170 and featured in Andrew Barr's 'The Nation's Favourite Churches', public houses, two village stores, pharmacy, coffee shop, petrol station, hairdressers and doctor's surgery. The local primary school is held in high regard and there is a village playing field. A public footpath to the village is accessible from Ranters Lane
Mainline rail services to London can be found at Marden (5.7 miles) and Paddock Wood (7.7 miles) and a high speed train service runs from Ashford to London St Pancras in about 37 minutes.
There is an excellent range of schools in the area in both the state and private sectors at primary and secondary levels. Ranters Hall falls within Cranbrook School catchment and Goudhurst Primary School has an Outstanding Ofsted report.
Leisure facilities include Risebridge Health Club at Goudhurst, sailing and fishing at Bewl Water, riding, walking, mountain bike trails, climbing and activity centre in Bedgebury Forest and Pinetum and golf clubs include Dale Hill in Ticehurst and Rye.
The M25 via the A21 can be accessed at J5 and the M20 via J8 both providing links to Gatwick and Heathrow airport and other motorway networks.
