6 bedroom detached house

Located on the edge of the village of St. Mary's Platt and adjacent to the beautiful Great Comp Gardens (one of Kent's finest gardens to visit), this attractive double roundel Oast house is set in delightful, mature grounds and offers excellent family accommodation with a balance of living and entertaining space and a wealth of period features. Thought to be one of the first Oast conversions of the early 1900's, the property underwent significant renovation and modernisation in 2008/2009

The main formal entrance is into a lovely reception hall with inset wood burning stove and there is an additional entrance into the kitchen / breakfast room on the western side of the house. The ground floor offers substantial space and versatility for a busy family. The reception rooms are balanced between the two roundels, one in use as a formal drawing room and the other as a study/music room/snug with exposed cross beams. Both benefit from attractive bay windows, underfloor heating and working fireplaces. Additionally, there is a large, well lit family room with french doors opening out onto the formal gardens at the rear of the property; an additional library / living room / dining room with wooden beams and a feature fireplace; and a study overlooking the front garden. The ground floor is also served by an excellent and well equipped utility room, a downstairs guest WC, and ample storage space. The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room provides a perfect family base and staging post for the rest of the house, retaining the original farmhouse character and featuring a substantial 4 oven gas Aga.

The main staircase from the formal entrance hall leads to the first floor and access to five bedrooms. The master bedroom suite enjoys front and rear garden views, a range of fitted wardrobes and a modern, en suite bathroom. The two roundel bedrooms (the larger of which is currently used as the master bedroom) share a large family bathroom with separate shower and feature high ceilings and garden views. Two further bedrooms face out to the front of the house with a range of fitted wardrobes and work spaces, and share a family shower room.

A sixth large bedroom at the rear of the property above the family room, benefits from it's own separate entrance or access from the family room, has its own en suite and is perfect for guests, family members or au pairs.

Outside, the delightful gardens (an offshoot of the renowned neighbouring Great Comp Gardens) spread southwards and are set mainly to lawn with mature trees, a woodland walk and attractive flower beds. A private walled garden is accessed from the family room and borders Great Comp Gardens. At the southern end of the gardens is located a well maintained all weather floodlit tennis court.

A private gated gravel driveway provides ample off road parking with a wide range of outbuildings including a double garage with store and games room above it, a workshop, potting shed and 2 well sized further store rooms.

The house is located on the edge of St. Mary's Platt and within easy reach of Borough Green with its station (50 minutes to Victoria), shops and amenities. Comprehensive shopping and further transport links are provided from nearby Sevenoaks (7 miles and with its mainline station to London Bridge and Charing Cross), Tonbridge and Maidstone. The area provides a wide range of excellent schools including primary schools in St. Marys Platt and Borough Green to the Grammar and private preparatory and secondary schools in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Maidstone (including Sevenoaks School, Tonbridge School, Maidstone Grammar School, The Judd School, The New Beacon, Sevenoaks Prep, St. Michaels Prep School and Walthamstow Hall) whilst there is a wide range of leisure facilities and sports clubs within a close range of the house. Nearby access to the M20 then gives great links to the M25 and the airports at Gatwick and Heathrow together with London and the wider UK motorway network.
