3 bedroom house

Accessed via a grand communal reception hall, with an impressive staircase and private lift, The Hawksmoor Suite is a sophisticated first floor apartment that enjoys unrivalled far-reaching views.

The private front door opens into the reception hall, a very generous room, currently used as a dining room and capable of comfortably seating six people. This room sets the tone for the remaining accommodation.

Double doors open to both the elegant sitting room and substantial kitchen/breakfast room, both of which have tranquil views of the formal gardens and scenery beyond. The sitting room provides an excellent entertaining space, whilst the kitchen is well-appointed, with a range of Shaker-style cabinetry and various luxury integrated appliances as well as a central granite-topped island; there is ample space for casual mealtimes. A useful utility room with additional sink sits alongside. The property is also well suited to those working from home, benefitting from a flexible study/bedroom 3.

The considerable principal bedroom suite has a dressing room with bespoke fitted wardrobes which leads through to a stylish en suite bathroom with sunken bathtub and separate walk-in shower cubicle. The second bedroom also features plenty of built-in storage, as well as a modern en suite shower room. A guest cloakroom completes the accommodation.

The apartment is located on the outskirts of the popular village of Harrietsham within the North Downs AONB, an exceptional landscape characterised by wide expanses of undulating farm and woodland. The countryside can be enjoyed by cycling through the various lanes or walking and riding the extensive network of footpaths and bridleways.

Harrietsham provides a wide range of everyday facilities, including a Co-op, M&S food hall at the service station, doctor's surgery, church, and a station offering services to London from as llittle as 73 minutes. Additional facilities are available in nearby Lenham, Headcorn and Maidstone.

Transport links are excellent, with M20 (Junction 8) just 5 miles distant. The local area is home to a plethora of well-regarded schools, including state grammars in Maidstone and Sutton Valence Independent School.

Colesdane is set in a stunning countryside. Buillt on the site of a former country house, the property benefits from over 9 acres of beautifully maintained mature communal gardens. The original stone terracing leads down to lower lawned areas into a lightly wooded area with a Victorian grotto garden.

To the front of the house, stone pathways meander through shrubberies and a rose garden. In one corner of the garden is a communal summer house.

The property has a double garage with electronic door and power, within easy reach of the main building.
