Description
Bank Wood is a charming, detached family home situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty between Hildenborough and Underriver. The property dates from c. 1912 with later additions to provide spacious and stylish living space arranged over two floors, ideal for both family living and formal entertaining. Salient points include stylish kitchens, modern bathroom suites, bay windows, skylights, exposed wooden flooring, recessed lighting, feature fireplaces including an inglenook, and decorative radiator covers. Also of note is the impressive ancillary accommodation which has a contemporary finish throughout and benefits from planning permission to be utilised as a holiday let, together with the extensive gardens and grounds, amounting to about 9.35 acres in total.
The spacious double aspect sitting room has built-in shelving, a magnificent inglenook fireplace inset with a wood burning stove, and a charming bay window.
