A rare opportunity to own an Architectural designed Oakwright framed house built with traditional building methods to a very high standard.

Description

Situated just over half a mile from the sought-after village of Benenden, Green Briars is an impressive family home which sits well back from the road, nestling amidst wonderful woodland gardens which have been cleverly landscaped by the current owner. This stylish property, which was built in 2015 and benefits from the remainder of a 10 year NHBC Warranty, is finished to a very high specification with a particular feature being the superb oak joinery throughout. Points of note include:

Under-floor heating with individual thermostatic controls to the ground floor rooms, recessed ceiling speakers to the principal rooms with Sonos system in place.

The front door opens to a superb open-plan ground floor area with oak and limestone flooring, with the space being cleverly divided, incorporating a triple aspect sitting room with wood burning stove and bi fold doors. Limestone steps lead up to the very well proportioned kitchen/dining room, ideal for entertaining and also featuring bi-fold doors to the south east elevation creating a light and airy space and opening to a wide terrace, perfect for ‘al fresco’ entertaining.

The kitchen is equipped with an extensive range of hand-painted cupboards together with a central island. Appliances include an electric six oven Aga, a wine cooler, Samsung American-style fridge/freezer and integral dishwasher. Off the kitchen is a conservatory with encaustic tiled flooring, French doors to the rear terrace and lovely garden outlook.
Over the remainder of the ground floor is a study, utility room with space for white goods and cloakroom.

A wide staircase leads to a large vaulted first floor landing off which are four double bedrooms, all served by en suite bath or shower rooms. The principal suite is a lovely room benefitting from built-in cupboards and a luxuriously appointed en suite bathroom with separate shower. All of the bath/shower rooms are fitted with stylish contemporary white suites, chrome fittings and pressurised showers.

Green Briars is approached via an electric wooden gate with the gravel drive leading to an area of parking and a timber open bay double garage and store room.
The landscaped gardens surround the house and provide a delightful setting with lawned and extensive woodland areas under planted with spring bulbs and an array of seasonal shrubs and climbers. There is a wide variety of mature native trees and a pond around which meanders a pathway.
