Description
Hawkenbury Farm is a Grade II listed Wealden House of architectural and historic interest believed to have been constructed between 1460 and 1470. The property is built on a stone plinth with exposed timber frame elevations and jettied first floor under a Kent peg tiled roof.
Hawkenbury Farm has a wealth of period features including featherboard doors, beams and timbers including a dragon beam, brick floors, mullioned windows, Crown post, dais partition, curved braces, splendid door heads and fireplaces.
Off the wood panelled entrance hall are a number of reception rooms. A sitting/family room previously the pantry and dairy with a dragon beam and Victorian fireplace housing a wood burner, a double aspect sitting room/drawing room with an inglenook fireplace, dais partition and Bethersden marble steps leading to the first floor. The entrance hall also has access to the dining room with original brick flooring and inglenook fireplace leading into the bright and airy oak conservatory.
The kitchen/breakfast room has bespoke fitted base and wall units housing a double oven, ceramic electric hob with tiled work surfaces over, integrated dishwasher and fridge, and larder cupboard. A utility room, bathroom and office with stairs to the first floor complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor landing has windows to the front and rear with bedrooms off. The principal bedroom has delightful views over the garden and an inglenook fireplace. There are three further bedrooms and two separate bathrooms.
Hawkenbury Farm is approached through a five bar gate to a gravel drive with a parking and turning area. A Bethersden marble path leads to the imposing front door. The gardens are a delight with well stocked flower beds interspersed within the lawn, two ponds providing a natural environment for wildlife, mature shrubs and trees including cedar, sweet cherry, cobnuts, magnolia, azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias, roses, wisteria and clematis, a timber greenhouse with water and electricity, a kitchen garden, brick workshop and double garage with storeroom over. There is a well stocked productive fruit orchard of approximately two acres (acreage to be verified and available by separate negotiation).
