5 bedroom house for sale

In a wonderful location in the centre of a charming Kentish hamlet, surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside, a fine, detached house of quality, reimagined and extended several years ago to the exacting standards of the present owners. Presented with great flair, the house has well-planned and sociable accommodation laid out over two floors extending to in excess of 3,500 square feet together with a spacious integral garage. Set back from the lane, exteriors are a contemporary twist on traditional architecture with mellow brick elevations and tile hanging to the first floor under a pitched tiled roof with large, double-glazed casement windows and bi-folding doors. With a centrally positioned, oversized atrium, natural light floods throughout the whole house, highlighting the bright and airy rooms. Under floor heating has been installed under the engineered oak flooring in the reception hall and drawing room, as well as under the tiled floors in the kitchen continuing through to the laundry room and all bath/shower rooms on both levels. Internal doors on the ground floor are part-glazed within oak frames and the ‘butterfly’ staircase is also in oak, rising to the galleried landing. There are essentially three reception rooms together with a fitted study. The drawing/dining room has bi-folding doors opening out to the rear garden, a wood burning stove and double doors connecting to the kitchen/breakfast room, whilst the sitting room also has a woodburning stove, that is double sided to the kitchen/breakfast room. The third reception room would be ideal as a TV snug or family room but as it sits alongside a shower room, it could make a ground floor sixth bedroom if required. Comprehensively furnished with a range of wall and base units as well as a central island, the kitchen/breakfast room has ample space for a dining table and additional relaxed seating and is fitted with integrated appliances by Bosch.
Laid out over the upper level are five, very good-sized bedrooms together with ample eaves storage. The principal bedroom has French doors opening to a Juliet balcony with views of the garden, a walk-in closet and a large en-suite bathroom with separate shower cabinet and a roll top, claw footed bath. Of the four remaining bedrooms, one has an en-suite shower room, whilst a further guest suite has wall-to-wall wardrobes and ‘Jack n Jill’ access to the family bathroom.
