Approached down a driveway with ample parking outside the house (together with shed/garden garage and car port) the property is focused on its south facing aspect. A large outdoor dining area acts as a courtyard protected by the building but with easy access from the kitchen (which with the utility room and secondary entrance forms the easterly wing of the ground floor) with a range of fitted units, oil fired Aga, electric hob and fan oven and a breakfast bar. The heart of the house is a large, vaulted at the front, sitting room with imposing inglenook fireplace (with wood burning stove) cool in summer and beautifully warm in winter. A dining room links the sitting room with the kitchen. On the eastern end of the house sits a family room/study in the roundel which also enjoys separate access out to the garden.
The main front door opens out onto an entrance hallway with the staircase but also a ground floor snug/additional bedroom, a guest WC and a study, perfect for working from home.
On the first floor a light and bright landing (with galleried reading area overlooking the sitting room and out towards the garden) runs for most of the length of the property linking the two bedrooms on the western end of the house (with store room/linen cupboard) which are served by the family bathroom with a fantastic south facing bedroom with en suite, a 5th bedroom and a principal suite in the roundel.
The garden matched mature beds with a large expanse of south facing lawn with a fence and hedge division part way. A seating area in the small orchard and a well designed pond area provide features alongside the wide expanse of south facing countryside beyond the property's boundaries.
The property is ideally located in the Kent countryside yet within both walking distance of a pub but also easily accessible to local amenities, schools including Chiddingstone Primary school and transport links.
Local train stations at Penshurst and Leigh are close by whilst the main line trains from Hildenborough, Edenbridge, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks provide access into London Bridge (22 mins from Sevenoaks) Charing Cross & Victoria. Whilst being in a countryside location the A21 is nearby which links to the M25 (with great access to the airports at Gatwick and Heathrow) and the M26 (with access down to the channel ports).
The area is also well known for its excellent schools in nearby Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Oxted.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on August 16, 2023
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
