Charming Grade II listed village house with adjoining business premises and detached annexe, set in delightful gardens of about 0.7 acres, situated in the heart of this picturesque village.
Description
Hodsoll House is a most attractive and well-presented Grade II listed detached village home, dating from the 18th Century with a later 19th Century extension, and benefiting from a detached annexe within the grounds. Situated in the heart of the pretty village of Farningham, the property offers bright, spacious and versatile accommodation with the additional benefit of an attached multi-functional workspace. Salient points include bay windows to the front, beautiful fireplaces throughout, established gardens and ample off road parking. The property is well located for road and rail links, and in total, the plots amounts to about 0.7 of an acre.
The reception rooms comprise a sitting room and dining room, both with bay windows, attractive fireplaces, and recessed bookshelves.
There is also a study flanked on both sides by built-in shelves and cupboards incorporating a work station.
The welcoming kitchen/ breakfast room enjoys views to the garden and is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units with Corian work surfaces and integral appliances including a four oven AIMS controlled electric AGA. The utility room and downstairs cloakroom are accessed via the kitchen.
Stairs lead down to a substantial cellar providing an excellent storage space of just over 400 sq ft.
Arranged over the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and two with built in storage. All three bedrooms also feature attractive fireplaces.
There is a well-appointed family bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower cubicle.
Completing the main living accommodation, are two further bedrooms arranged over the second floor.
Attached to the main house, with its own separate access from the High Street, is an excellent suite of rooms offering potential buyers the flexibility to run a business from the premises. The work space comprises two rooms, one currently being used as a reception/waiting room and the other as a treatment room. There is also a kitchen area and cloakroom. A door from the treatment room also provides access to the main house and living accommodation.
To the other side of the property there is a gravelled area providing off road parking for at least four vehicles, which leads to the gardens and a detached annexe.
The delightful garden is a real feature and provides an attractive backdrop to the property. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with borders planted with established shrubs and specimen trees, providing some privacy and year round interest. Adjacent there is a gravelled walkway flanked with climbing plants, and an extensive vegetable plot with greenhouse in the lower part of the garden. Opposite the vegetable plot, there is also a separate timber framed outbuilding with power connected, which could be utilised as a garden gym or summerhouse. In the past the lower part of the garden has been used as a lawn tennis court.
The detached annexe provides excellent ancillary accommodation and comprises a dual aspect living space with doors leading to an outside seating area overlooking the gardens, a fully fitted kitchen with Corian worktops, a bedroom and fully tiled shower room with WC.
