A charming unlisted period house set within 6.5 acres of gardens and grounds including a useful range of outbuildings on the edge of this highly regarded village.
Entrance Hall. Sitting Room. Family Room. Kitchen/Dining Room. Utility Room. Cloakroom. Principal Bedroom with en-suite shower room. Three further bedrooms. Family Bathroom. Triple bay detached garage/gym. Former stable block with store. Workshop/Barn. Gardens and grounds extending to 6.5 acres in all.
Smallbrook Farm is a very attractive unlisted period property believed to date from circa 1831 which has been extended and renovated with meticulous attention to detail to create what is now a stunning family home with a contemporary decor yet still retaining a classical style very much in keeping with the period. The house sits within a large plot of about six and a half acres on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Speldhurst.
Points of particular note include:-
• The spacious entrance hall makes an excellent first impression of the house with its polished engineered oak floor and stairs rising to the first floor and French doors to the terrace.
• The sitting room is exceptionally spacious and enjoys delightful outlooks over the garden and lake beyond. An impressive sandstone fireplace with oak bressumer and limestone hearth, although not currently in use, could easily be reinstated. A superb range of fitted bespoke oak cabinetry spans the entire width of one wall and a “secret panel” opens into another reception room, currently used as a family room, but which could equally work very well as a home office if required.
• The kitchen/dining room is an excellent size and beautifully fitted with an extensive range of bespoke oak cabinetry by Rencraft. There are long expanses of attractive cosmic black granite worksurfaces with inset double Butler's sink, a large island unit provides further storage and additional food preparation area. Quality appliances include a Britannia dual fuel brushed steel range cooker with 4 gas burners and a central griddle, built-in Neff eye level combi microwave oven, separate fan oven and warming drawer. There is an integrated full-size dishwasher and space and plumbing for a large American-style fridge freezer. French doors open directly on to the rear terrace and gardens beyond.
• There is a useful separate utility room which again is very well-fitted with Rencraft bespoke oak cabinetry and cosmic black granite worksurface with single Butler's sink. Space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
• On the first floor the principal bedroom suite is light and spacious and enjoys delightful outlooks over the garden and grounds. There is an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and a beautifully fitted en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms and a single room all have fitted wardrobes and are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
OUTSIDE
The house is approached via double wooden gates which lead to a generous driveway with parking for multiple vehicles and the detached open triple bay garage which is currently used as a gym. There are two further large outbuildings and the current owners have obtained full planning permission to demolish and re-build all three outbuildings (planning references 20/01425/FULL and 20/01250/FULL) to provide a gym/barn/home office and a triple bay garage with useful storage room above.
The garden and grounds provide an idyllic setting for the house and are exceptionally well laid out. To one side of the house are the formal lawns and a wide sandstone terrace which wraps around the property on three sides. A large circular decked patio with a wood fired pizza oven provides a very pleasant area to dine al fresco and a small gate leads to a bridge over the brook-fed lake which is a haven for wildlife. A sweeping gravel drive leads to the secondary entrance to the property which, although currently not in use, could easily be reinstated. Beyond the various outbuildings lies a large paddock which could be used for grazing or formally landscaped if desired.
In all about 6.5 acres.
Speldhurst is a thriving village, nestled within the fabulous Kentish countryside with an award-winning shop, post office, superb gastro pub The George and Dragon and a church designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones.
