Impressive Jacobean House in Kent
Bridge Place is a Grade II* listed Jacobean property near Canterbury which could be converted from a private country club into a very fine private house


Described by Hasted as ‘a spacious and magnificent mansion,' Bridge Place is an outstanding Jacobean property listed Grade II* which has been in the same ownership for many years. Currently used as a private country club, the house contains wonderful period detailing and retains a good deal of interesting features and as such, offers superb potential.
Wood panelling and magnificent detail characterise the reception rooms which lie downstairs off the entrance hall - the inner hall has stairs down to the lower ground floor. The magnificent Jacobean oak staircase leads from the reception hall up to the first floor, which has four bedrooms (three en-suite, one with separate adjoining bathroom), all of which have vast amounts of character including superb cornicing, and mouldings dating to the 17th century.
Another staircase rises to the second floor where there are four further bedrooms, again three en-suite. The lower ground floor is extensively equipped as a private country club with a large bar/reception area and a dance floor area.
