A charming period property with delightful gardens in a semi-rural setting within Cranbrook School catchment 2022.
Description
Loves Farmhouse is a charming property with delightful gardens in a semi-rural setting within Cranbrook School catchment. The presentation is immaculate with no changes needed, but extant planning permission (Maidstone Borough Council 17/502869/FULL) exists to extend the kitchen to the rear of the property to make a larger room.
The property, which we feel would make an ideal family home, is entered by an enclosed porch to an open plan dining hall with fireplace. A bright reception room leads off the hall and benefits from a wood burning stove and French doors to the terrace. A large picture window affords wonderful views over the garden.
There is also a study, well fitted with built-in workstation and shelving and a guest WC.
The kitchen, installed by the current owners, has all Neff appliances (wine fridge, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, oven, combination microwave oven, warming drawer and induction hob with extractor over) and granite worktops. There are integrated ceiling speakers and a useful walk-in pantry cupboard. The utility room, with sensor-controlled lighting, has space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and a door to the garage. In addition, there is a pull down ladder to a teenage den or hobby room.
Concluding the ground floor accommodation is the fifth bedroom, a generous and versatile room with French doors to the rear terrace and an en suite shower room. It could theoretically become a granny suite with a kitchenette added or a work studio.
The first floor comprises four bright double bedrooms with en suite and family bathrooms. The main bedroom suite is a generous size and has a fantastic south facing roof terrace accessed via bi-folding doors, from which to enjoy views over your garden. A good sized en suite bathroom has a large separate shower.
The double garage has a remote controlled roller shutter door, PIR controlled lighting, a hatch to boarded storage space above and a secure door to a covered external wood store, allowing year round covered access for the wood burner supply. There is ample car parking on a gravelled drive.
Outside, the property has a generous terrace paved with porcelain tiles. A hot and cold tap ensures pets can be washed down in comfort and a rainwater harvester further provides luxury for their drinking. A mains water irrigation system supplies the flower beds. There is a good garden storage shed, compost area and hard standing for bin storage.
The property is bordered by neighbouring orchards and farmland - a lovely feature of the property - with level lawns, well stocked borders and irrigated beds planted with an array of mature shrubs and trees, including varieties of walnut, weeping willow, apple, pear and cherry.
