Description
Brackens is a charming and beautifully presented property of excellent proportions, dating from 1820, with later extensions. The property, which sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is in close proximity to the popular village of Knockholt, and just 0.1 miles (by footpath) of St Katherines Primary School.
The light, versatile and well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over three floors, having been sympathetically extended and renovated to a high standard by the current owners, combining character features with contemporary embellishments.
Salient points include exposed timbers, roof lights, vaulted ceilings, a stylish kitchen, luxurious bathroom suites, exposed brick walls, sash windows, attractive fireplaces, oak flooring, garaging with driveway parking, a home office and
established, south facing gardens, which provide a lovely backdrop to the property, and amount to about 0.25 of an acre.
The spacious reception hall benefits from oak parquet flooring, an attractive open fireplace and fitted storage cupboards with shelving above.
The reception rooms comprise a triple aspect drawing room of good proportions, with bi-fold doors to the rear terrace, fitted storage, an exposed brick wall and a fireplace inset with a wood burning stove and a connecting snug, also with fitted storage.
The kitchen/dining room is a superb space, with a spectacular vaulted ceiling with multiple roof lights, allowing light to flood the room, and ideal for informal entertaining and family living. From the dining area, there are lovely views over the rear garden and bi-fold doors providing access to the rear terrace.
A utility room with additional storage and direct access to outside, and a cloakroom complete the ground floor.
Arranged over the first floor are three double bedrooms, one served by a well-appointed en suite shower room, and all with fitted storage.
A modern family bathroom with separate shower cubicle completes the first floor accommodation.
A further staircase rises to the second floor, and fourth bedroom of excellent proportions with a vaulted ceiling, skylights and ample eaves storage.
The south facing gardens are a real feature, with lovely views over the adjoining Chevening Estate. Adjacent to the garage is an enclosed seating area, with raised wooden planters and a shed. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, with a paved terrace, shaped beds planted with a wide variety of mature shrubs, specimen trees and perennials, a further shed and a fully insulated garden room, with power and light connected and a shower room.
A driveway leads to a detached garage which has an integrated suite, currently utilised as an office and music room, and comprising a bright, versatile first floor space with dormer windows, offering views over the North Downs, and a ground floor shower room/W.C.
