5 bedroom house

Located on the western ridge-line of the popular market town of Westerham this charming countryside family home, built in the 1920's, has been refurbished throughout with both interior restyling and exterior additions giving a flexible and welcoming atmosphere centred around an well-designed arrangement of light and bright living and entertaining rooms all benefiting from the house's excellent and far reaching south facing aspect and views.

The property is ideally located just outside Westerham and is one of a number of private homes in the Farley Common area with a screened approach and a design that gives all the rooms and the grounds excellent privacy.

A formal entrance comes through a recently added hall with York stone flooring, guest WC, working fireplace and galleried reading area which provides access to the house as well as through towards the south facing terrace and gardens. The living space for the house (all with oak flooring) is designed to act as a range of living rooms; from one large and contiguous entertaining space to separate library, music room and family living room through a clever set of concealed sliding doors. The rooms benefit from excellent south facing light with the main living room enjoying a circular feature dining area. A bar area then compliments the living rooms.

On the eastern side of the house, running from the front to the back, is located the house's beautiful bespoke Oliver James kitchen with Jerusalem limestone flooring and labradorite marble worktops, 2 sink areas, central island with breakfast bar, AGA, Quooker hot water tap, integrated dishwasher and space for an American fridge-freezer. A circular seating bay benefits from morning light on the eastern side of the kitchen whilst a separate utility room (with space for washing machine and dryer together with an additional dishwasher) links to an external door. An integrated sound system is fitted in the kitchen/breakfast room and the bathrooms. A family snug, set alongside a secondary staircase, then links the formal side of the house with an additional guest/family WC and side entrance/boot room with bespoke designed storage, coat and boot racks.

A central staircase then leads to the first floor and the main range of bedrooms; all benefiting from southerly light and far reaching views. Three double bedrooms sit across the southern side of the house, one with its own en suite whilst a family bathroom services the others. The two bedrooms on the ends of the house both have their own large south facing balconies accessed through french doors. The principal suite then sits across the second floor incorporating a large bathroom with separate steam shower and sauna, study area, walk-in wardrobe and a south facing balcony overlooking the grounds and valley to the south. On the northern wing of the house, also served by the secondary staircase, sits an additional 5th double bedroom and bathroom which can be separated from the main house should it be needed. All the bathrooms come with under floor heating, fittings from Crosswater, Lefroy Brooks and Sottini together with heated towel rails.

French doors from the reception rooms then lead out onto the south facing terrace and heated swimming pool area which links well to the tennis court via a hot tub terrace with pool house/changing room. A private formal garden area also sits alongside additional seating and entertaining area with fire pit whilst a path leads down to a Shepherds Hut with broadband connectivity, power and lighting which sits alongside the croquet pitch/tennis and sports lawn. A fenced paddock then takes the property to its southerly boundary. A converted stable alongside the house then forms an entertainment room with wood burning stove and power. Numerous raised beds, greenhouses and a chicken coup then complete the gardens alongside the house whilst an electric charging point has been sit up at the front of the house.
