This handsome home delivers prescience and privacy in equal measure. From the moment of arrival, the architecture speaks for itself- a commanding facade of Kentish rag stone, sourced from the long gone village quarry. The house is balanced by classical proportions, tall chimneys, 2 open fireplaces, and an unmistakeable sense of occasion.

Inside, the house unfolds with elegance and ease. Across five versatile reception rooms, there is a considered blend of formal and informal living – generous social spaces perfect for entertaining, offset by quieter corners that invite rest and retreat. The interiors are filled with natural light, thanks to high ceilings and large, often double-aspect windows, some beautifully framed by deep bays. Throughout, period charm and tasteful styling work in quiet harmony.

The traditionally styled kitchen has been handcrafted to complement the architecture, flowing through to a relaxed breakfast and family area where bifold doors open onto the terrace. A bright and sunny conservatory offers an all-season connection with the garden, while a separate utility room and basement level provide further functionality. Whether hosting guests or enjoying peaceful moments of everyday life, this is a home that adapts effortlessly.

Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms continue the sense of quiet refinement, with bespoke fitted storage subtly incorporated into the design. A luxurious en suite and elegant family bathroom complete the first floor, with light and greenery visible from every window.

Outside, the grounds are both beautiful and practical. Sweeping lawns stretch across the south-westerly aspect, bordered by mature hedging and specimen trees that offer year-round interest and privacy. A generous sun terrace wraps around the rear of the house, ideal for al fresco dining and summer entertaining. A sizeable garden store adds useful storage, while the wide gravel driveway ensures ample parking.

A country home of enduring quality, where space, style and setting align to create something truly special.
