Pillory Gate, Strand Street, Sandwich

Situated close to the banks of the River Stour in the heart of Sandwich, this unique home is brimming with character and period charm.

 

The ground floor is centred around a spacious reception room with a feature fireplace and views across the river. To one side lies a study and library, lined floor-to-ceiling with bespoke bookcases and storage cupboards, while on the other is a formal dining room with ample space. The dining room leads seamlessly into a shaker-style kitchen, finished with solid bamboo worktops and flooring, a supplementary Belfast sink, larder and storage area, plus an island incorporating a wine store and breakfast bar.

 

Two staircases provide access to the first floor. One leads to a self-contained master suite with fitted wardrobes and direct access to a stylish shower room. Two further bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, share a family bathroom complete with airing cupboard. Bedroom two enjoys uninterrupted river views, with sailing and motorboats moored just a few feet away throughout the year.

 

Outside, a private courtyard garden is well stocked and enclosed by high walls, while a further terrace offers a peaceful spot beside the river.

 

The property has undergone significant renovation and reconfiguration by its current owner, including damp-proofing to first floor level and insulation to several walls, while also offering excellent storage throughout.

 

In an enviable position within Medieval Sandwich, this impressive home sits among cobbled streets, historic buildings and a bustling market square. The town is also well served by respected schools, including Sir Roger Manwood’s and Sandwich Technology School, with Canterbury schools just a short drive away. For leisure, world-class golf can be enjoyed at Royal St George’s, Royal Cinque Ports and Prince’s, while excellent shopping and amenities are close at hand.

 

Occasional use of a nearby private parking space and a rented garage may also be available by arrangement.

The only way to fully appreciate this fine example is by internal viewing.
