This delightful and handsome late Victorian detached house is located in the sought after hamlet of Bough Beech and situated in a beautiful rural position and plot of approximately 5.42 acres. Benefits include tall ceilings, large windows, a range of outbuildings, swimming pool and tennis court.

The accommodation has been extensively refurbished and remodelled by the current owners to provide a wonderful family home, suitable for modern day family living, whilst retaining the charm and character of the original property.

The ground floor comprises of a welcoming and spacious entrance hall with a walk in pantry, utility/cloakroom and storage cupboard, reception room, and family room with wood burning stove and full height bay window with original folding shutters overlooking the rear garden.

The 37ft open plan kitchen/dining and snug is a particular highlight of the property and offers a large and enjoyable family space with a wood burning stove, and an abundance of natural light through the large windows and three sets of French doors, one of which has original folding shutters, which open out to the garden. The handmade bespoke kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinets with a spacious central island unit, integrated appliances and oak flooring.

The first floor provides for a principal bedroom with a wall of fitted wardrobes and a walk-in dressing room, which could be utilised as another bedroom or a study, three further double bedrooms (one with en suite bathroom) and a family bathroom. There is a sizable loft space, which offers the potential of converting into additional bedrooms, subject to planning permission.

Externally, the detached triple bay, timber barn style garage is arranged with an external side staircase leading to the first floor conversion to provide a substantial vaulted games room, which could be arranged to provide a large home office or self-contained studio. There is ample off road parking available in addition to the triple garage.

The garden and grounds offer excellent privacy and total approximately 5.42 acres with formal garden wrapping around the main house. The gardens are laid to lawn with an established range of mature trees, York stone paved terrace providing outside entertaining space, summerhouse, a small swimming pool and pump house, and a vegetable garden that enjoys a very productive asparagus bed.

There is a range of outbuildings, including a stable block with power and light, and a former piggery arranged in an L shaped formation with an area of hard standing to the front. These outbuildings offer excellent potential for conversion into ancillary accommodation if required, subject to planning. There are two fenced paddocks arranged to the rear of the outbuilding with a separate gated access point available further along the lane. Positioned between the gardens and paddocks is a full size and well maintained tennis court.

This lovely country home is in a glorious location and is surrounded by organic farmland close to Bough Beech Reservoir in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, rural yet not isolated, with stunning views across the surrounding fields and easily accessible for the country walks, riding and sailing.

The pretty villages of Chiddingstone, Ide Hill and Penshurst are all close by with their primary schools, shops and pubs. There is a wide selection of private and state schools, notably Tonbridge and Sevenoaks Schools, and grammar schools in Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells.
