Freehold

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 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 the highest quality.

Linton Park Gardens are a particular
feature of the property and like the house,
have been lovingly restored both when
purchased and after subsequent storms.
They extend to about 20 acres protecting
the house on all sides and creating the
most magical setting for the house.

The main house is supported by additional
residential properties in the form of the
Coach House, North Lodge and South
Lodge. There are a set of farm buildings
which are let on a number of commerical
leases and a cricket pitch lies to the north
of the estate.
