4 bed detached house for sale

Linton Park, Linton, Maidstone, Kent ME17

Cuckoo Field House is a superb family house situated to enjoy some of the very best views in Kent. Looking out over parkland with the expanse of the open Weald stretching out beyond, the house forms part of the Linton Park Estate and enjoys the peaceful and rarified atmosphere of this truly special environment.

Built in 1978 in the vernacular style, the house has south-facing reception rooms and bedrooms; the whole is of good proportions and offers enormous potential. The reception hall runs across the house accessing the main rooms which are placed to enjoy the spectacular views. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of units and has French doors opening to the terrace. A storeroom, utility room and cloakroom sit conveniently across the hall adjacent to the back door.

At the centre of the house, the dining room and family room provide a flexible space for family living. The eastern end of the house finds a well-proportioned sitting room with French doors to the terrace, with a home office behind.

In the same way as the reception rooms, the four bedrooms are placed to take in the breathtaking views. The principal bedroom has a dressing room and an en suite bathroom, with the remaining bedrooms being well served by two family bathrooms. The large attic offers further scope subject to any necessary consents.<br /><br />The property is approached over a long private drive bordered by estate fencing and arriving at the front of the house. A substantial detached garage block offers a huge amount of space and potential with garaging and storage on the ground floor and two rooms above.

The gardens to the front are arranged as terraced lawn leading down to a ha-ha and the resulting uninterrupted vista. The beautiful, Grade II* listed historic parkland outside the house is interspersed by mature specimen trees.<br /><br />The Linton Park Estate is situated in a strategically convenient location with excellent road and rail access to London.
