Dating back to the 17th century with later 20th century additions, this Grade II Listed house has a
wealth of period features including part tile hanging, weatherboarding and cat-slide roofs to the exterior and wonderful exposed timbers including some tie beams, inglenook fireplaces and some original leaded light windows. It has been considerably upgraded by the current owners to provide comfortable living with solid oak flooring and bespoke joinery whilst maintaining the beautiful character of the original house and is
immaculately presented throughout.
The predominantly double height entrance hall leads to the attractive triple aspect sitting room with an inglenook fireplace with oak bressummer and to the other side is the large kitchen/breakfast room with attractive painted shaker style cabinetry under granite worktops, two windows with views out to the side garden and a walk-in larder. This room opens out into the delightful snug/garden room with French doors out, a wonderful space from which to enjoy full views of the terrace and rear garden. The double aspect dining room is full of character with a brick fireplace with log-burner, exposed beams and an original Tudor oak leaded light window providing views over the side garden. From here, stairs lead to the first floor with its partly galleried landing and differing floor levels adding to the character and style of the house.
The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, wonderful views out to the rear garden and countryside beyond and a very generous en-suite shower room. The two remaining bedrooms on this floor have great proportions, one has fitted storage and a pretty feature gabled window whilst the other, in the oldest part of the house, is double aspect and has the other original Tudor oak leaded light window. These are both well-served by the family bath/shower room. There is a staircase to the top floor with two/three delightful bedrooms in the eaves (there are some compromised ceiling heights in this area) which lend themselves to being children’s accommodation or indeed, a useful study/work from home space.
Outside
Approached via a Yeoman style gate, the private driveway leads round to a large parking and turning area, culminating in the large detached garage. The gardens and paddocks are a real feature of the property with landscaped formal gardens wrapping around three sides of the house with established trees and shrubs offering year round colour and interest. There is a delightful summer house with power and light which is an idyllic spot from which to enjoy the gardens including the productive small orchard and behind this, is a very substantial garage which has planning permission to convert to a one bedroom annexe (TWBC Planning Ref: 20/00576/FULL).
There are two large paddocks to the rear and side of the house, one including a vegetable garden with raised beds, a shed/greenhouse and a small stable, the other in a more elevating setting with a larger stable and spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. The whole is bordered by mature hedging and fencing, providing privacy and seclusion whilst offering 360 degree stunning vistas and access to wonderful countryside walks.
Situation
The property is situated on the rural fringes of Horsmonden, around ½ a mile from its picturesque village green, award-winning village store, chemist, pub and popular primary school. There is a thriving community with an abundance of clubs and societies for all ages as well as a sports / recreation ground, a children’s play area adjacent to the kindergarten, a well-run tennis club and a village hall. Horsmonden is about 5 miles from Paddock Wood with its Waitrose supermarket and mainline station providing services to London Charing Cross/Waterloo East/London Bridge and Ashford International/Dover Priory. The larger towns of Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge offer a wider variety of shopping options including the charming Pantiles, plus popular grammar schools and alternative stations.
