5 bedroom house

Located on a site that was previously used as a vineyard, Little Harps consists of a recently extended and remodelled family home - a majority of the works were completed in 2010/2011 - which constitutes part of a well-formed equestrian property with far-reaching Kent countryside views and ideally placed for local communications links and the nearby towns of Sevenoaks and Tonbridge. The house sits at the end of a long approach drive in the corner of the plot, well away from the lane and near the highest point of the property providing excellent privacy. The driveway, initially entered through a brick gateway from the road, winds its way past the paddocks and alongside adjoining woodland before coming to rest in front of the house and separate stable block, built in 2001.
The formal entrance from the road is supplemented by a wooden gateway nearer the house in the same style as the nearby paddock fencing.

The main house has been refurbished and remodelled to make full use of the wonderful light the property's aspect provides, from full height sliding doors in the main sitting room and family room, to the double height window in the master bedroom, all overlooking the front lawn and countryside to the south east of the property. A large, light and bright hallway with guest WC provides access to the house and links the various living rooms.

A spacious sitting room with wood burner and floor to ceiling sliding doors, sits alongside a large eat-in kitchen/dining room, with access through bifold doors out on to the rear patio. Planning permission exists to further extend this room by way of a conservatory. A boot room and adjoining utility room provide additional practical access to the house, both appropriate for countryside and equestrian living. A generous family room/office then sits with a south-easterly view towards the paddocks and surrounding countryside, whilst at the northern end of the building there are two double bedrooms, both with their own en suite facilities.

A staircase from the hallway leads up to the master suite with its south easterly views, en suite bathroom and ample storage. Alongside the master suite are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom; additional storage can be found in the loft. Outside the kitchen a large stone laid patio provides excellent space for dining and entertaining and links to a charming garden area with wild flowers and adjoining woodland. A well sized studio/garden room and large cabin provide ample storage/home office options alongside the main house.

To the northern edge, at a respectable distance, sits, on hard standing, the stables - three stables with an adjoining tack room and accompanying double garage. Located away from the house, beside the drive, is a further large garage with roller door and side access. In all the grounds constitute approximately 5.4 acres and in the main are set to paddock although a good sized garden/ orchard area is found to the north eastern side of the stables.

The property is ideally located in the Kent countryside yet within easy reach of transport links including the mainline stations at Borough Green (less than 1 mile away) and Sevenoaks, with its fast trains to London Bridge and Charing Cross, a little over 7 miles. The motorway network is close at hand providing an easy link to the M25, London and the rest of the UK, whilst the M20 gives easy access to Maidstone and to the channel ports.

The area is ideal for local schools with a wide range of excellent primary and secondary schools within easy reach. There are a wide range of amenities and historical properties in the area, from Winston Churchill's Chartwell to the historic castle at Hever. A wide range of golf courses and sporting clubs are also active in the area.
