The house is approached through a pair of wooden electric gates leading to ample parking space in front and alongside the property where a gravelled driveway is surrounded by landscaping and mature plantings.
The formal access to the property comes in the form of a grand reception hallway at the easterly end of the house which acts as a central pivot to the property; giving access to two double bedrooms alongside the principal bedroom (with wooden floors and bi-fold doors out onto the west facing terrace) and the family bathroom with walk-in shower and double sink. A large light and bright kitchen (with porcelonsa porcelain floor) with a wide range of units (including Miele appliances - induction hob, self-cleaning double oven, single oven/microwave and a Miele Mastercool fridge-freezer with ice and water dispenser) and a central island (with granite worktop) acts as a living hub of the house alongside a large, light and bright, living room - again with porcelonsa porcelain floors, fireplace recess and bi-fold doors out onto the west facing terrace. A secondary door provides day-to-day entrance to the house alongside the kitchen and utility room/guest WC whilst a dining room links the pool and additional reception rooms to the main house. The whole house benefits from excellent fibre broadband.
At the western end of the property Bedroom 4 (currently arranged as a secondary sitting room/snug with wooden floors) is found alongside a study whilst a fantastic indoor swimming pool (heated all year-round with integrated counter-current and with bi-fold doors out to the garden and onto the terrace) is accompanied by a sauna room, Hansgrohe power shower room and excellent storage. A large double garage then completes the ensemble at the south-western end of the house, ideal for storage of classic cars or to adapt as a gym or games room. There exists planning to re-site the garage (existing planning Ref. No: 11/00146/FL). Equally there has been planning approved (now lapsed) for the addition of a first floor with three additional bedrooms (Tonbridge and Malling Planning Ref. No: 16/03407/FL) which would add an additional 1129ft2 to the property's living space.
Outside the space is focused on the house's west facing terrace, ideal for al-fresco dining and evening entertainment. The gardens are laid mostly to lawn with numerous paths leading around the property and a wide variety of seating areas depending on the seasons and time of day. The garden includes a charming Koi pond and numerous established flower beds and trees together with a detached air-conditioned Garden Studio with excellent fibre internet connection.
The station at Hildenborough is within easy walking distance (0.3 miles) and provides access into London (calling at London Bridge (in 31 minutes) and Charing Cross) whilst other nearby stations include Tonbridge station approximately 3 miles away and Sevenoaks is approximately 5 miles away (with trains into London Bridge (24 minutes), Canon Street and Charing Cross). The A21 provides access to the M25 and the UK motorway network including access to the Channel ports, the airports at Gatwick and Heathrow together with excellent access into London. The area benefits from excellent schools including many highly rated primary and secondary schools including Sevenoaks School, Tonbridge School, The Judd School, Skinners, Tunbridge Wells Boys Grammar School (with campuses in both Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks), Walthamstow Hall School for Girls, Sevenoaks Prep School and The New Beacon as well as many others.
The house is ideally set for the Kent Downs and High Weald Areas of Natural Beauty and benefits from excellent access to the surrounding countryside. The area benefits from numerous golf courses including nearby Nizels (with Health Club) and the excellent Knole Park and Wildernesse (an Open qualifying course) in Sevenoaks and there are many active local cricket, football and rugby clubs. Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells all have a wide range of amenities, shops and restaurants and there are a multitude of highly rated countryside pubs and restaurants.
