Full property description

A splendid detached three/four-bedroom, energy efficient period home, originally constructed in the early 1900s as a Victorian pumping station before being thoughtfully converted into an exceptional family residence in 1993. The conversion successfully preserves the building's striking industrial heritage while creating a truly individual home of almost 3,000 sq ft, set within approximately 0.28 acres of beautifully maintained grounds.

The Old Pump House commands breathtaking views across the rolling North Downs, this architecturally impressive property combines Victorian engineering with modern family living. Soaring ceilings, exposed iron beams, a dramatic twin staircase and an abundance of original character create an unforgettable interior, where distinctive period features blend effortlessly with contemporary comfort.

Occupying an enviable semi-rural position in Hinxhill, the property enjoys a peaceful countryside setting while remaining conveniently close to Ashford and the sought-after villages of Wye and Brook. Excellent road links and Ashford International Station provide easy access to London, making the location as practical as it is picturesque.

An extensive driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to the impressive main entrance. The welcoming reception hall immediately showcases the home's unique character, with two exposed staircases rising to the first floor. To one side is a versatile study, which could equally serve as a guest bedroom, whilst the elegant formal dining room features double doors opening into the magnificent sitting room. This impressive reception space is centred around a wood-burning stove and framed by striking full-height shuttered windows that flood the room with natural light.

Positioned at the rear of the house, the spacious kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units, complemented by oak worktops and integrated appliances, including a double range cooker. A generous walk-in pantry and separate utility room provide excellent practical storage. The kitchen flows naturally into the breakfast room, which opens into the conservatory. With underfloor heating beneath its tiled floor and uninterrupted views across the North Downs, this light-filled space can be enjoyed throughout the year.

The first floor offers three generous double bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms. The principal suite benefits from built-in wardrobes and a private en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom, providing flexible accommodation for both family life and guests.

OUTSIDE:

The beautifully established gardens extend to approximately 0.28 acres. The rear lawn and charming summer house enjoy spectacular uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside towards the iconic Wye Crown, creating a remarkable setting for entertaining, relaxing or simply appreciating the changing seasons.

A substantial detached garage building, measuring approximately 34 ft by 18 ft, incorporates a pitched roof space together with a shower room and WC. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, it offers excellent potential for conversion into an annexe, while also providing secure, CCTV-covered accommodation for vehicles, hobbies, storage or a home-based business.
