8 bed detached house for sale

Brishing Road, Chart Sutton, Maidstone, Kent ME17

Farley is a charming farmhouse dating from c.1700 with Victorian additions and two annexes, nestled in a rural setting with stunning countryside views. Approached via a country lane, the property features a gated shingle driveway, double carport with log store, and ample parking.

The main entrance opens into a spacious hallway with natural stone flooring, cloakroom, cellar access, and built-in storage. The kitchen/breakfast room boasts oak beams, bespoke handmade units with quartzite worktops, a natural wood breakfast bar, and a fireplace with log burner adjacent to the dining area. French doors lead to the garden, and a larder offers generous storage.

The original hallway now serves as a large dining room with stripped wooden floors, a working fireplace, and French doors. A study with fitted shelving and an adjoining utility area complete the ground floor. The formal living room features an original Inglenook fireplace, two large bay windows, decorative plaster coving, picture rails, and remote-controlled blinds, with doors opening to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the well-lit landing offers built-in storage. The east wing holds a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an adjoining third-floor dressing room. The principal suite includes an ensuite shower, walk-in wardrobe, and fitted shutters. Two further bedrooms (one used as an office) and a family bathroom with underfloor heating and a walk-in shower complete the first floor.

Outside, a stone patio with a feature well and water feature creates an ideal alfresco dining space. The extensive lawn adjoins a wooden gazebo with countryside views and external lighting. The front garden, adjacent to the annexes, stretches 200ft, featuring a large pond stocked with carp, mature trees, shrubs, and fruit and vegetable patches.

Two excellent annexes enhance the property:

Little Farley is a one-bedroom dwelling with vaulted ceilings, an en suite shower room, well-equipped kitchen, spacious living room with log burner, remote-controlled blinds, underfloor heating, and countryside views. It also includes a boiler room with laundry facilities and water softener.
