Kenton are delighted to present this elegant Grade II listed 5 bedroom detached house, set around a 15th century farmhouse with 18th and 19th century additions, situated in a picturesque semi-rural location, with extensive views of Kentish countryside and farmland to the front. Originally a working farm until the 1850s, and home to the Pratt family for over 300 years, Chelsfield Grange comprises about 4,000 sq ft of versatile living accommodation with many charming and characterful period features. The ground floor accommodation is entered via a welcoming and ample hallway with Arts and Crafts oak woodwork. To the northern end of the property is a Georgian-style extension with a majestic drawing room boasting attractive Venetian-style sash windows, a beautiful antique Italian marble fireplace, wonderfully-intricate ceiling roses and coving, and an impressively high ceiling. You will also find additional reception space in the form of a tranquil Arts and Crafts reading room, featuring "monks' benches" either side of a fireplace with blue Delft tiles. Furthermore, there is a snug room at the heart of the ground floor accommodation (where the original farmhouse living room would have been) with another attractive fireplace. The snug room opens into an adjoining study room (which, incidentally can also be accessed via the hallway). To the southern end of the property sits an open-plan kitchen/dining room boasting characterful wooden beams and terracotta tiled flooring, with access to the first floor via a stairwell. To the rear of the ground floor accommodation, an 18th century brick and flint building is adjoined via a music/activity room, which in turn leads to a guest cloakroom with WC, a large cellar and also the rear garden. To the first floor, you will find 5 bedrooms, notably including (again via the aforementioned Georgian-style extension to the northern end of the property) a grand master bedroom which features a further wonderful high ceiling, extensive westerly views over said Kentish countryside and farmland and furthermore a spacious en-suite bathroom which itself features both a bath and separate walk-in shower cubicle. A further four bedrooms (with "bedroom 5", situated at the southerly end of the property, accessed via an additional stairwell to "bedroom 4") as well as a bathroom and separate WC. Also worthy of mention is the loft room (charmingly known as the "apple loft") which provides additional storage space. Externally, you will find the most beautiful, secluded and serene of tiered rear gardens, encompassed by mature trees and shrubs with a vast patio area and an extensive traditional lawn area and accessed via both the northern and southern ends of the residence. Unequivocally, the facade is most graceful and imposing. Ample off-street parking is available to both sides and the front of the property. Chelsfield Grange is also conveniently-situated, with both Knockholt and Chelsfield stations about a mile away, both providing direct and frequent services into central London. Within a few moments' walk you will also find amenities in the form of a popular public house with some general handy shops only slightly further afield. Chelsfield Village, Orpington High Street and Sevenoaks (with their respective range of shops, eateries and leisure facilities) are also easily-accessible, as is the M25. Significantly, some of the area's most popular and well-renowned schools are also within close proximity, including the current Ofsted "good" rated Pratts Bottom Primary School. Furthermore, the property is offered to the market with the benefit of no onward chain.
