4 bed detached house for sale

Chart Lane, Brasted, Westerham, Kent TN16

Tucked away along a quiet private country lane, Chartfield Farm is a charming and historic farmstead, originally built as a mordern, model farm by the owner of Brasted Place. At its heart lies a beautifully converted Oast house, thoughtfully renovated to provide spacious accommodation.

Extending to approximately 2,860 sq ft, the house opens with an impressive double-height entrance hall, featuring a wide staircase with sleek glass balustrades leading to a galleried landing. The wraparound open-plan reception space offers flexible living, centred around a striking inglenook fireplace with stone surround, and includes a defined study area. Three sets of sliding doors provide seamless access to the courtyard garden, flooding the space with natural light. A characterful brick archway connects to the dining room, which also enjoys direct garden access. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of cabinetry and integrated appliances, and benefits from a pleasant outlook and access to the garden. A contemporary cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom features vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a luxurious en suite bathroom with both bath and separate shower. There are three further generously proportioned bedrooms, each with vaulted ceilings, along with a family bathroom (also with separate shower), and an additional WC. The house comes with planning permission to extend into the covered, side shed to provide over 4000sq ft of accommodation.

Outside, the property presents exceptional scope for further development (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents). The grounds include a covered shed (with planning permission to convert part of the buildign to residential), a large modern barn, a long stone heritgage barn sub divided into 8 units and a large heritage storage barn. The total footprint for the outbuildings is in excess of 16,000 sq ft. This offers an exciting opportunity for the creation of a high-end residential development in an idyllic and secluded rural setting.
