Full Details:

This four bedroom detached period home built in 1924 has more than just a touch of Hollywood glamour, it is a true legend with a story to tell and steeped in history on a plot that dates back to 1890.

A traditional Kentish village farmhouse is what you see when the private gates slide open and this first impression captured not only the hearts of the owners but also captivated their young family who have grown up in this loved and cherished home over the years.

As you approach the property you will note that the gravel driveway is large enough for several cars and provides a sense of privacy and grandeur. For buyers needing an additional room away set apart from the main residence there is a dual-purpose oak framed space positioned in the corner of the driveway ideal as either a gym or office/home business, catering to your work and fitness needs with style.

Upon entering through the porch, the house unfolds its charm through a stunning hallway featuring a sweeping Instagram-worthy staircase that takes center stage, setting the tone for the timeless elegance that awaits as you look upwards to the upper floors.

As you continue though the ground floor you will find the incredible dual aspect living room with an open fireplace creating a perfect space for both entertaining and cosy nights in. The super-sized kitchen across the hall has access to a fabulous utility and laundry area which would make a perfect ‘boot room’ and is equipped with a sink, worktops and space and connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also an external door to the garden and access to the guest WC and pantry.

The kitchen itself is every host’s dream, combining practicality with sophistication with fitted appliances such as a Rangemaster oven, hob and integrated AEG microwave and coffee machine. This area flows openly through to the dining area providing enough space for everyone to enjoy and with even more space to offer with doors opening out into the oak-framed orangery which is bathed in natural light. This sunlit haven is equipped with roof light, underfloor heating, log burner and bifold doors to the park like garden, seamlessly blending the indoors with the outdoors, creating a stunning setting for any occasion. The kitchen also has direct access to the garden and outbuildings.

Back to that incredible hallway and up the sweeping staircase to the principal bathroom suite which is a masterpiece of contemporary design and located on the mid-level to ensure privacy. You will have the choice of relaxing in the luxurious freestanding bath or the convenience of the contemporary shower, and to keep things beautifully harmonious there are twin vanity sinks. This sanctuary provides a perfect retreat, inviting you to unwind and rejuvenate after a long day or be ready and out the door in minutes.

As you continue up the staircase to the first floor you'll discover four generous bedrooms, each possessing their own unique character and individuality with every space thoughtfully designed to evoke a sense of comfort and style.

Heading out to the garden there are even more spaces to fall in love with, whether it's the large sunny aspect landscaped lawn, the patio area and Loggia housing an outdoor kitchen complete with built in BBQ, fridge and sink with hot and cold water or the summer house perfect for teenagers or a great hobby room or the original workshops which even has the original furnace, you will no doubt see that the outdoor areas are just an extension of the house and is perfect for entertaining.

The original plot is said to date back to 1890 and this property was built in 1924 with many original features remaining such as some internal doors, Bullseye windows and even an original gas lamp which has been converted to electric and now proudly lights up the entrance hall.

The current owners have since discovered several more historical findings such as an Anderson shelter which has been meticulously brought back to its former glory and even a covered well which is asking to be showcased in some way by the new owners if they wish.

This impressive family home marries the classic allure of its origins with being a strong theme of ‘live life to the full’ throughout the decades, making it not just a house but a home that tells a story and is now ready for new memories to be made.

From the electronic gated entrance to the tasteful interior details, this residence is ready to welcome you into a lifestyle of comfort and sophistication.
