Description:

OLE63323695 - This striking house sits in a landscape of parkland, woodland and farmland part way down a south facing green sand slope overlooking the valley of the River Beult and the Weald of Kent. The entrance to the estate is on the northern boundary, adjacent to the listed North Lodge. Gates open to a drive which initially curls through a small wooded area interspersed with rhododendrons, before opening out into the parkland and descending due south through parkland studded with fine trees and between a wide avenue of beech trees. As you leave the parkland and enter the gardens which surround the house, this becomes an equally fine lime avenue and first glimpses of the house can be seen. As you approach the fine north facade of the house the drive culminates in a circular gravelled turning and parking area around a lavender fringed island with flower borders and central statue. The original house, designed by Robert Mann, is seven bays wide with a break front and this was extended for the fifth Earl Cornwallis, by Thomas and William Cubitt. The Cubitts' alterations added a third storey to the original house and building two storey wings of four bays wide on each side. The north or entrance front is at ground level however as the house is built into the slope this is effectively first floor level along the southern front. The garden floor below has large windows opening onto the southern terrace. When the house was acquired by the current owners it had suffered many years of neglect and required considerable renovation and restoration throughout. This has been lovingly carried out to preserve and, where necessary recreate the features of the original house. The house has magnificent fireplaces, plaster work and craftsmanship of hte highest quality. The splendid sash windows nearly all have working shutters. The entrance to Linton Park is on the north facade through a single storey portico and double doors into a fine entrance hall... Still available at ListedBuy!
