Beautifully presented Grade II* listed house with excellent detached annexe, attractive gardens, paddock and outbuildings.

Description

Potkiln Farm is a beautiful Grade II* listed timber framed former farmhouse, believed to date back to the 16th century with later 18th and 20th century additions and retaining many original features including exposed timbers and beams, fine inglenook fireplaces and drop latch doors. Set within part walled gardens it benefits from an excellent detached three bedroom annexe, Potkiln Farm Cottage, and further outbuildings.

Having been sympathetically refurbished by the current owners, the internal accommodation is beautifully presented and comprises two very attractive, sizeable reception rooms, with wood burning stoves and an outlook to the garden and a versatile part vaulted study/family room. The triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room features brick flooring and has been designed and fitted by Kitchens Unlimited of Tenterden with modern cupboards, Quartzstone worksurfaces, AEG combo hob with inbuilt extractor, electric ovens, integral dishwasher, fridge and wine fridge. There is a utility room with WC, underfloor heating, a washing machine and tumble dryer.

On the first floor, the beautiful main bedroom with exposed beams and fireplace with wood burning stove, benefits from a cupboard with fitted drawers. There are three further attractive bedrooms including a substantial attic guest bedroom over the remainder of the first and second floors. From attic bedroom four there is access to a superb unconverted loft room spanning the width of the house and providing ample storage. All of the bedrooms are served by a luxuriously appointed family bathroom equipped with contemporary sanitary ware and a separate WC.

Potkiln Farm is approached via a winding gravel drive which leads around to the walled front garden and continues to further parking and the open bay garaging and adjoining workshop to the east of the house. The part walled gardens comprise level lawns with some mature hedging and raised borders planted with an array of seasonal shrubs.

Potkiln Farm Cottage is an attractive single storey annexe. Internally, all of the rooms have under floor heating and enjoy a south easterly aspect. There is an open plan sitting room/kitchen with French doors to a gravel terrace, three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, the terrace extends to an area of garden with former stables. Completing the gardens and grounds is an enclosed paddock to the south of the drive.
