Description
Covering approximately 4000ft2 of flexible living space the property's current infrastructure dates from the late 1850's when the original farmhouse acquired its Georgian style extension (most notable from its front façade) and is located at the northern end of Rushmore Hill close to Knockholt train station and ideally placed for the M25 at junction 4.
Originally a working farm until the 1850's Chelsfield Grange is replete with period features and centres around its grand drawing room with high ceilings at the northern end of the house with grand volumes and Venetian-style sash windows. This Georgian style juxtaposes with the elegant Arts and Crafts reading room (with monk's benches on either side of a fireplace with blue Delft tiles) on the ground floor that acts as an entrance from the hallway and main entrance (with an imposing porch) into the rest of the house's living space. Further space includes a central snug with fireplace (where the original farmhouse living room would have been) and adjoining study (with doorway to the entrance hallway). At the southern end of the house, with access to the rear stairwell and with terracotta tiles and wooden beams, sits the open-plan kitchen/dining room. The rear of the house joins an 18th Century flint-and-brick building with the main house via an music/activity room; this acts as a central hub with doors to the ground floor office/playroom, guest WC, rear hallway, reading room, the rear garden and the cellar.
On the first floor the Georgian style addition allows a large master suite to sit above the drawing room; enjoying large volumes and excellent west facing countryside views from the bedroom alongside a light and spacious bathroom. Three additional bedrooms in the older part of the house are served by a family bathroom and separate WC. A rear doorway leads through to a 5th bedroom at the south end of the house (and alongside the rear staircase) whilst an attic room (the “apple loft” with limited head height on the stairwell) is perfect for children to play in to for additional storage.
The tiered gardens are mature and is mainly set to lawn surrounded by mature trees and shrubs and access is provided from both north and south sides of the house. Parking is easily provided on both sides as well as a pair of parking spaces at the front of the property.
Chelsfield Grange is ideally located in Pratts Bottom and indeed was the home to members of the Pratt family for over 300 years. It sits at the top of Rushmore Hill and within easy reach of both Knockholt (32 minutes to London Bridge) and Chelsfield (29 minutes to London Bridge) train stations. Close at hand Chelsfield is a vibrant village (with popular primary school and amenities) whilst both Orpington to the north and Sevenoaks to the South provide additional amenities, restaurants and shopping together with additional rail links into London. Junction 4 of the M25 gives easy access to both Gatwick and Heathrow airports as well as the wider UK motorway network whilst the M20 links with the Channel ports.
