Handsome period property with the benefit of a detached cottage set in attractive grounds situated on the edge of the popular village of Knockholt.
Description
Crittleshaw is a most handsome detached house of excellent proportions, understood to date from the 1920’s with later additions and situated in the popular village of Knockholt just 6 miles from Sevenoaks. The property is full of character features including a wealth of exposed beams and timbers, wall panelling, impressive oak staircase, exposed wood floors and attractive fireplaces. The property is set in beautiful grounds and benefits of a generous private driveway and a swimming pool. Of particular note is the detached two bedroom cottage, converted in 2022 and well fitted with a contemporary finish and benefitting from its own parking area, garage and gardens.
The spacious entrance hall leads through to the impressive inner hall displaying a wealth of period features, an attractive fireplace and oak staircase rising to the first floor, and which in turn leads to the principal reception rooms.
Reception rooms comprise a charming triple aspect drawing room of good proportions, which enjoy views of the garden and benefits from French doors leading out to one side and a dining room which enjoys a southerly aspect. Both the drawing room and dining room have attractive fireplaces.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and floor cupboards including a breakfast bar. Appliances comprise a gas fired Aga and separate oven and there is space for a fridge/ freezer and dishwasher. There are views over the garden and a door leads to the adjoining utility room.
The utility room offers additional storage cupboards, a sink and direct access to outside.
A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Arranged over the first floor is a triple aspect principal bedroom which enjoys delightful views over the gardens to the rear and benefits from a well-appointed en suite bathroom which can also be accessed from the landing.
There are four further bedrooms, three with attractive fireplaces and two with storage cupboards. A family bathroom with separate shower cubicle completes the first floor.
To the second floor, there are two further bedrooms with eaves access, both served by a shower room.
The house is approached via electric wooden gates over a driveway which leads to a paved parking area for several cars. To one side the generous front gardens are mainly laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees, with a pergola walkway and a paved terrace dotted with shrub and flowering beds, and vegetable beds.
To the rear a paved terrace spans the width of the property and is edged by established and manicured evergreen hedges providing seclusion and privacy. Steps lead down to a formal lawned garden with water fountain and to one side a paved terrace which surrounds the swimming pool. Low walls to the rear separate this area from the remainder of the grounds which are laid to lawn and bordered by established hedges and mature trees. To one side there are two outbuildings comprising a barn with separate storeroom and a further storage building. There is also a pump house for the swimming pool.
Wild Flower Cottage is an attractive detached cottage, originally a triple garage which was sympathetically converted in 2022 and offering well-proportioned and contemporary living accommodation arranged over two floors.
The spacious entrance hall leads to well-proportioned open plan kitchen/sitting/dining room benefitting from bi-fold doors to opening to the rear gardens and a further door to the side. The kitchen is well fitted with a contemporary finish and comprises a comprehensive range of wall and floor units with integral appliances and space for an American-style fridge/freezer.
There is a dual aspect bedroom with fitted a storage cupboard and a contemporary bathroom.
To the first floor there is a bedroom and en suite shower room.
A driveway leads to a parking area, detached single garage and a pedestrian gate which in turn leads to the front of the property and an attractive enclosed lawned area.
Access to both sides of the property leads to the rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn bordered by mature hedges, shrubs and trees.
