Description
The main residence is arranged to provide elegant yet comfortable family living. A grand entrance hall leads to a number of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, including a striking sitting room with Georgian-style windows, decorative ceiling cornices, picture rails and a feature fireplace. The formal dining room and separate study, both flooded with light, maintain period charm, while the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room is a practical and stylish hub complete with quartz worktops, Bosch and Smeg appliances, and underfloor heating. The conservatory and utility room offer further functionality and access to the outdoors.
The bedroom accommodation on the first floor comprises four bedrooms, all thoughtfully designed, including a luxurious principal suite with Juliet balcony, dressing room and ensuite bathroom. The additional bedrooms enjoy a wealth of light, fitted wardrobes and character features, served by a contemporary family bathroom with walk-in shower and elegant tiling.
The house has been extended to include a large games and entertainment room with kitchenette, creating a perfect space for gatherings or independent recreation. The adjoining gym and extensive garage provide yet more space and flexibility. This space makes for an ideal annex conversion, subject to the usual consents.
The grounds includes two self-contained detached annexes, a studio and a two bedroom, both fully equipped with kitchens, bathrooms, and independent access, ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or even income potential.
Ayers Place sits within approximately 6.8 acres of private wraparound grounds and gardens that are as generous as they are tranquil. There are patio seating areas, sweeping lawns, established hedgerows, mature planting, and fruit trees. Two natural wells offer a rare feature, and the plot includes a detached garage, potting shed, additional store, and three stables with a feed/tack room – ideal for those with equestrian interests that may wish to explore adding paddocks or simply wishing to embrace country living.
Approached via electric gates, the property boasts a drive leading to a further set of electric gates with secure parking, ensuring complete privacy and seclusion. The woodland at the rear adds a sense of peace and adventure for families, and the home has hosted many gatherings, thanks to its generous layout and outdoor space. This family home being offered with no forward chain is a rare offering—an adaptable, character-filled family home with exceptional space, privacy and lifestyle opportunity—perfectly blending rural tranquillity with superb connectivity.

Location
Sutton at Hone is the next parish south-eastward from Wilmington. The village is surrounded by green fields and country walks and there are several local pubs and a parish church. The area was called in Latin, Suthtuna, from its situation south of the town of Dartford, and had the addition of At-Hone, from its lying low in the valley. The shopping centre’s of Bluewater and Dartford offer many facilities including Prospect Place Retail Park, the Orchard Theatre, library and museum. The local area has many schools catering from reception to year 13 which includes four grammar schools at secondary level. Farningham and Dartford also have mainline railway stations with services to London and there are road links from the area giving access to A2/M2, A20/M20, M25 and Dartford Tunnel as well as Ebbsfleet International station, airports, the coast and Channel Tunnel.
Seller Insight
“Ayers Place has been our home for the past 30 years, and it has been a remarkable place to call home. What initially attracted us was its huge potential. The property was originally built as a nursery, which grew orchids and tomatoes. At the time of purchase, the house was small and derelict, surrounded by acres of greenhouses. My husband lived in a caravan while undertaking a complete renovation - a significant project, one that he poured his heart and soul into.” “We’ve added two studio flats and thoughtfully updated every part of the house to complement its character. The lounge and master bedroom in particular often impress guests with their space and décor.”
.
“Outdoors, we’ve added an allotment, planted a small orchard with fruit trees, and maintained large open areas with lovely field views. We have two natural wells with crystal-clear water. At the back of the property are woodlands, which have provided endless opportunities for exploration and play when our son was younger.” “Inside, the lounge is a favourite - cosy, comfortable, and elegantly styled - while the games room, complete with its own kitchen area, has been a popular space for our son and his friends.”
.
“The layout of the house works exceptionally well for entertaining, with ample parking, generous outdoor space, and privacy that allows for parties without disruption. It has hosted many family events over the years.” “The local community is friendly and well-established, with many residents having lived here for decades. It’s a quiet, equestrian-friendly area with a helpful neighbourhood WhatsApp group, offering both a rural feel and convenient access to transport links and local amenities.” “While we are now looking to downsize the land, we will certainly miss the peace, privacy, and space this home has offered. Ayers Place has served as a wonderful, secure family home, we only wish we could pick it up and take it with us.”
