Ancillary Accommodation & Outbuildings To the north of the house and accessible via a separate entrance is the impressive unlisted timber framed barn which has been stylishly converted for the purpose of ancillary accommodation to the main house or as a holiday let. With underfloor heating to the ground floor and separate oil fired central heating system, it has been finished in quality oak joinery and stone flooring, with an east-facing sitting room and French doors opening to a private garden area, a dining room, fully fitted kitchen, two bedrooms, a shower room and bathroom fitted with sanitary ware by Fired Earth. A door leads from the sitting room to a wonderful billiards/games room of excellent proportions with a wealth of exposed beams and vaulted ceiling. Opposite the barn are the former stables which were converted in 2020 to a large garage block with garaging for four cars. A paddle staircase leads up to the first floor which is currently used as a gym. Further outbuildings comprise an old period brick-built potting shed and store room, a detached pool changing/plant room and a workshop/mower store. Etchinghill is accessed via electric wooden gates which open to a gravel drive sweeping around to the front of the house and flanked by a collection of rhododendrons, a flowering cherry and specimen trees. Gardens & Grounds The beautiful gardens and grounds, which extend to just under 2 acres, are an outstanding feature of the property. Expansive lawns with wide herbaceous borders stretch away to the east and south, affording views over the adjoining countryside. There is a pretty sandstone bothy which provides shelter on hot summer days and a salt water swimming pool surrounded by terracing. Steps lead up from the main lawn to a wrought iron gate which leads to a more informal wild garden area with varieties of fruit trees, a tulip tree and oaks, completing these lovely gardens. A secondary drive to the north west of the house leads via a traditional wooden gate to the barn and garages. There is a 17th century well, lined with Kent ragstone and a separate rainwater harvesting system with electric pump and tap. For a house dating back to the 17th century, it has a remarkably open plan feel to it, with large windows and wide central hallway and landing. The house is located in a small and historic hamlet, part of Gore Farm, as it was known in the 1800s, on the edge of the village of Goudhurst.
