一座美丽而优雅的二级保护乡村别墅。Simnells 是一座迷人而特别的住宅,拥有独特的魅力,源于长期而珍贵的所有权。 Foster 家族于 1963 年购买,自此他们一直很喜欢这所房子,出售它是一个难得的机会。历史记录了罗伯特·西姆内尔 (Robert Symnell) 在 15 世纪在该地点拥有一处房产,这座房子就是以他的名字命名的,尽管拼写随着时间的推移而变化。据了解,目前的房子可以追溯到 16 世纪下半叶,其中包括一位医生(使用书房作为他的手术室,旁边有一个候诊室)和第二次世界大战后的女主人,他们经营印刷机,建造花园和果园中常见的低矮石墙。避暑别墅和露台也可以追溯到战后时代,据传是为庆祝华丽的奥尔丁顿居民诺埃尔考沃德举办的派对而建造的。随着这些精美房屋的不断发展,Simnells 享有 19 世纪早期的大窗户在东面,主要的接待室充满了光线。客厅和餐厅位于宽敞的中央大厅的两侧,后者和书房在高高的天花板上精心雕刻了木材。农舍风格的厨房位于后方;围绕 Aga 布置,它是日常生活的核心。公用设施、储藏室和餐具室提供了此类房产所需的所有实用空间。书房有一扇门通向外面,完成了底层。两个楼梯到达一楼平台,主卧室套房从楼梯上俯瞰房子前面的围墙花园,更衣室连接到套间浴室。另外两间宽敞的卧室,包括一间带连接浴室的客房,前面有大窗户。第四间卧室位于较低的平台处,那里还有一间家庭浴室。二楼提供额外的灵活住宿,目前安排为带起居室、厨房和淋浴间的双卧室公寓。Simnells 是通过通往房子一侧和车库前面的砾石车道接近的。这座迷人的粗石建筑还提供一系列车间、马厩和储藏室,具有进一步的潜力,但须获得任何必要的同意。房子的前面是一个漂亮的、被保护起来的围墙花园,在通往前门的中央小径的两边都有草坪。日常进入房子是通过一个漂亮的玻璃入口前庭到房子的后面。有一个破烂的附属建筑,房子的一侧是一个美妙的世纪中叶花园,带有露台和线性鱼塘,俯瞰着一个令人愉快的避暑别墅。房子后面的果园四周是低矮的干石墙。北面是一个围场。拥有成熟树木和池塘的林地为这个迷人的花园增添了更多趣味。
A beautiful and genteel Grade II Listed country house.Simnells is a fascinating and special home with a unique charm arising from a long and cherished ownership. Purchased by the Foster family in 1963, they have enjoyed the house ever since and its sale presents a rare opportunity. History records a Robert Symnell owning a property at the site in the 15th century and for whom the house is named, although the spelling varies over time. The present house is understood to date from the latter half of the 16th century and has been owned, amongst others, by a doctor (using the study as his surgery with a waiting room adjacent) and by lady owners following the Second World War, who ran a printing press and built the low stone walls seen in the gardens and orchard. The summer house and terrace also date from the post-War era and are rumoured to have been constructed for a party held in honour of flamboyant Aldington resident, Noel Coward.Evolving as these fine houses so often do, Simnells enjoys large early 19th century windows to the east front, which flood the principal reception rooms with light. The drawing room and dining room are set either side of a generous central hall, with the latter and study having elaborately carved timbers to their tall ceilings. The farmhouse style kitchen sits to the rear; arranged around an Aga, it is the heart of everyday life. A utility, pantry and scullery provide all the practical spaces expected in such a property. The study with a door leading outside completes the ground floor.Two staircases arrive at the first floor landing, off which the principal bedroom suite looks over the walled garden in front of the house, and a dressing room connects to an ensuite bathroom. Two further good sized bedrooms, including an ensuite guest room, enjoy large windows to the front. A fourth bedroom is set off a lower landing where there is also a family bathroom. The second floor provides additional flexible accommodation and is currently arranged as a two bedroom flat with sitting room, kitchen and shower room.Simnells is approached over a gravel drive arriving at the side of the house and in front of the garage. This attractive ragstone building also provides an array of workshops, a stable and storerooms with further potential, subject to any necessary consents. To the front of the house is a pretty, listed walled garden with lawns either side of a central path leading to the front door. Day-to-day access to the house is via a pretty glazed entrance vestibule to the back of the house. There is a ragstone outbuilding and to the side of the house is a wonderful mid-century garden with terrace and linear fishpond overlooked by a delightful summer house. Behind the house the orchard garden is bordered by low dry stone walls. To the north is a paddock. A wooded area with mature trees and a pond provides further interest to this charming garden.
