This stunning 2017 built four bedroom detached abode was designed with period charm on the exterior with a brick facade and sash windows yet inside with all the benefits of a modern contemporary home. The property is a must to be viewed internally to fully appreciate this three story accommodation. The original developers have spared no expense in making this a desirable home and the current owners have added some additional touches. On entering the property via the grand entrance door the first thing you will notice is the ceiling heights being over 3 meters along with sublime oak karndene flooring in a chevron pattern. The front sitting room is that space to retreat to at the end of the day whist the kitchen diner is a family’s dream and a space which is the hub of the house with porcelain tiles imported from Italy and a designer German kitchen fully fitted with top of the range, energy efficient, Siemens appliances including ceiling mounted extractor, combi oven, grill, warming drawer and induction hob. Another feature of this home is the Bi-fold doors that open the entire kitchen and lets the similar flooring tiles flow onto the patio with a pergola which leads into your south facing lawned part of the garden area giving you in and out living arrangement between the kitchen and garden. The four double bedrooms set out over the first and second floors are all larger than you will believe and two of which have their own en-suites. The sizes of the bedrooms and en-suites must be seen to be appreciated. All the bathroom facilities are designer suites with mirrors, vanity storage units, rain showers and LED spotlights and the master en-suite has his and hers wash basins and a two-person rain shower. Further benefits to note are under floor heating to the ground floor, with radiators to the other two floors and double glazing throughout. The property is wired with speaker cables for music lovers, every room has Sky, Internet and BT data points along with the property being fully alarmed. The house also benefits from being heated by an air water pump which has significant impact on reducing energy bills. To the rear the garden is nicely secluded with acoustic fencing to reduce any noise so it’s perfect for the children or to entertain friends and family. To the front of the attached garage you have off road parking for two cars which completes the benefits of a recently built home. Located in the sought after historic village of Higham, former home of Charles Dickins, this property gives you close access to some of the best schools in Kent including Gads Hill, Cobham Girls, Kings and is walking distance to the Higham Primary school. The house is in a conservation area and its position offers stunning view’s across the countryside whilst being 150 meters walk from Higham train station with a journey time to London of under 35 minutes.

Seller Insight
Before moving to the Railway House, we were looking for a home that allowed us not just a country lifestyle but also easy access to London,” say the current owners. “The Railway House was all of those things and more when we viewed it: a 3 minute walk to the train station, 34 minute train journey to London, and lovely country views from our offices when working from home. Since moving in, the owners have made various improvements to the property. We have added a pergola to the patio which, along with our fire pit, allows us to use and entertain in the garden all year round, they say. This al fresco area has become an extension of our fantastic kitchen diner, which has matching tiles from the kitchen to the patio area. We also purchased a projector which we use on the retractable walls of the pergola as the perfect screens for summer movie nights. The ground floor of the house has recently been redecorated, too, and had we been staying here, we would have harnessed the (truncated)
