House<br />
Month<br />
of the<br />
£2,750,000<br />
Damien Pestell picks his favourite<br />
homes on the market<br />
Pluckley<br />
The dream: An exceptionally<br />
private Grade II listed country<br />
house tucked away behind<br />
high walls with impressive<br />
entrance gates to provide total<br />
privacy. The accommodation<br />
seamlessly blends the original<br />
18th century features of the<br />
home with its later additions.<br />
Where: Just outside the<br />
village of Pluckley within<br />
15 minutes of Ashford.<br />
Setting: The house is nestled<br />
within its own magnificent<br />
formal gardens and parkland<br />
style meadow land.<br />
Beds: 6 Baths: 5<br />
Special features: Of<br />
particular interest is the<br />
orangery, providing a fine<br />
outlook over the gardens.<br />
Pleasing details: The house<br />
was originally the head<br />
gardener’s home and kitchen<br />
garden of the Surrenden<br />
Dering Estate, the ancestral<br />
home of the Dering family<br />
Outside: The formal gardens<br />
and parkland of about 4<br />
acres include a good range<br />
of outbuildings. The house<br />
is approached by its own<br />
private tree-flanked driveway.<br />
Time to town: From<br />
Ashford International, 4<br />
miles away, to London St.<br />
Pancras in just 37 minutes.<br />
