Wall or Nothing
Maggie Alderson finds homes with glorious walled gardens
The Salutation
The dream: This is a rare house,
even by House of the Month
standards – being Grade I listed,
as befits a house designed in 1911
by renowned architect Sir Edwin
Lutyens, in the Queen Anne-revival
style, but also famous as the residence
(and B&B business) of hilarious
Gogglebox favourites Dom and
Steph. Available as one lot, or just
the main house with the three other
properties on the title sold separately.
Where: Sandwich, one of the best
preserved medieval towns in Britain.
Setting: An amazing position
for such a big house, right
in the heart of the town.
Beds (main house): 8 Baths: 8
Special features: A contemporary
kitchen/breakfast room,
with adjoining sitting room,
bathed in light from glass
ceiling to the floor above.
Pleasing details: The
glorious panelled study.
Outside: In 3.5 acres of land, mostly
walled gardens – some of the walls are
the town’s original medieval ones –
designed by Gertrude Jekyll, so of as
much interest as the house.
Time to town: 90 minutes
on the high speed to St
Pancras, via Dover Priory.
