Flint Hall, Strand Street, Sandwich

3 Bedroom Terraced House for sale in

An artistically presented grade II listed period property situated in the heart of the cinque port town of Sandwich. Dating back to the 16th century, Flint Hall is rich in history and was once a medieval hall house, the property displays a plethora of period features which have been carefully restored during this meticulous renovation. Exposed beams, parquet flooring, latch key doors, intricate architrave and beautiful brick fireplaces harmonise with fine F&B decor, sleek bathrooms, a new kitchen and exemplary interior design.

The current owners have creatively enhanced the property, and adapted the layout, there is now over 2000 sq.ft of spacious and exceptionally versatile accommodation alongside an enchanting walled courtyard garden.

The front door opens into a splendid hallway with rustic chequered floor tiles softened by a F&B setting plaster palette which complements the anthracite radiators installed throughout. The flint wall forms the oldest part of the house possibly dating back to the 14th century and is thought to be part of the old monastery. To the left a new cloak room has been fitted, the white WC and hand basin is a striking contrast to the Smoke Green paint chosen for this quirky space.

The kitchen sits to the front of the property and has wonderfully preserved parquet flooring from which sits an array of kitchen units which integrate all main appliances and have been finished with Italian tiles and pendant lighting. The Aga and high beamed ceilings add another depth of character within the space, whilst a stable door leads to the cellar, which is particularly dry and provides excellent storage, due to its good head height there is an opportunity for this to be further converted.

At the rear there is an open plan family room divided up to offer space for dining and relaxing, floors boards are exposed, whilst the inglenook fireplace encompasses a wood burning style stove, nestled beneath an oak bressummer. A handsome wide staircase with wool runner leads to the first-floor galleried landing with glass balustrade. A traditional style shower room has been installed, and comprises of an elegant washstand, walk in shower with rainfall attachment and WC.

There is a door which links to the principal bedroom, this is currently used as a sitting room, but is completely versatile. The design here is particularly atmospheric with its deep dark shades of Hague Blue complementing the exposed brick of the fireplace and wonderful timber framed windows.

To the second floor the vaulted ceilings are spectacular, and a large landing provides a superb place to study with views into the quay. There are two double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom which includes a luxury slipper bath, traditional style basin, WC and shower enclosure.
