SituationMentioned in The Domesday Book and set in a little known and relatively undiscovered part of rural East Kent, The Ringleton Manor Estate is located in gently undulating countryside between Canterbury and Sandwich.
Woodnesborough village is about a mile away, as is the village of Ash, providing a good range of local services including a small supermarket, post office, pub, school, etc. The nearby ancient medieval Cinque Port of Sandwich offers further amenities, as does the cathedral city of Canterbury with its excellent shopping, recreational and entertainment facilities and educational establishments, including the renowned King’s School. The property is well served by golf courses, including the Royal St George’s at Sandwich where the open will be held summer 2020.
The Ringleton Manor Estate is well placed to take advantage of the area’s excellent road access, with the dualled A256 linking directly with the dualled A2 to Dover, which in turn links directly with the A2/M2 and the A20/M20.
Sandwich station offers High Speed commuter services to London St Pancras (around 90 minutes). Alternatively, Canterbury West provides High Speed services to London in around 56 minutes. Eurostar services to Paris, Brussels and Lille are available from Ashford International. There are cross-Channel services from Dover and regular Eurotunnel services from Folkestone.
The London Heliport at Battersea can be reached in around 30 minutes.
Ringleton ManorApproached over a quiet country lane that terminates at the automatic gates of the head of the driveway. The long winding drive meanders through park-like grounds with gently undulating meadows. As the drive arrives close to the house, it splits to allow parking either in front of the house or, more practically, in a gated courtyard in front of the garaging. The main house is beautifully protected with swathes of woodland to the eastern side and with long distance views across adjoining countryside on the western side.
This estate offers a wonderful opportunity for the purchaser to acquire a compact, manageable estate with excellent ancillary accommodation.
The main house is a most handsome Grade II Listed building, the core of which dates from the 17th century and which was significantly extended and improved in the 19th century with the addition of the glorious symmetrical red brick façade on the south eastern elevation.
Arranged to provide excellent family accommodation and with a fine range of reception rooms there are many opportunities for entertaining on both a formal and a more informal basis. Ringleton Manor has been a well loved family home and could benefit from some updating.

Ringleton CottageRingleton Cottage is a detached, brick-built single storey period cottage situated a little way to the south of the main house. Originally a three bedroom cottage, the property was converted to provide an entertainment area in the style of an “at home“ wine bar/pub atmosphere. There are male and female cloakrooms.
Gardens and GroundsThe grounds to The Ringleton Manor Estate offer something for everyone and are a delightful environment for this first class property.
The main formal area is the sunken water garden immediately in front of the house. Steps lead down to the garden, which is bounded in part by a lovely mellow red brick wall. Centrally sited is an ornamental pond. To the side of the house is an outdoor swimming pool, with a summer house (containing a shower, cloakroom, sauna and refreshment area), and to the side of the pool complex is a full size hard tennis court, together with two useful barns for storage of farming/gardening equipment. The swimming pool and tennis court are in need of upgrading.
Surrounding the house to the rear are open expanses of lawn. Shaves of woodland give lovely shaded areas. There are two orchards. The tranquillity and extent of the grounds help make this a very special and unique property which, in this busy part of the South East of England, is quite rare.
Wayleaves, rights of way and easementsThere is a footpath that runs South to North within the boundary ofthe Woodland, another footpath runs South West to North East.
ServicesThe owners have informed us that the property has oil fired central heating, mains water and electricity as well as private drainage.
