An awe-inspiring 5-bedroom double fronted detached house, featuring almost 2,000 sq ft of internal living space within the highly desirable Hamlet of Broad Street near Hollingbourne, dating back to the 16th and 17th century, formally part of Dame Norton's charity as a working farm and owned by the current occupiers for 45 years. Nestled within a 0.63-acre plot at the scenic base of the North Downs in a conservation area, this property offers a picturesque setting with stunning views.
Adjacent to this remarkable property is a sizable 3.84-acre plot of land, currently available for sale. This additional land presents an exceptional opportunity for equestrian activities, grazing, and potential development (subject to planning approval and standard consents). Its expansive size and adjoining placement offer a wealth of possibilities for creating an even more remarkable living environment.
The current owners most commonly use the rear entrance hall to access the property via the driveway or garage, which has a convenient WC immediately off it, the entrance hall leads to the kitchen/breakfast area with a fabulous inglenook fireplace which houses an Aga, leading to the utility room. From the kitchen, a door leads to the generous sitting room and dining room, both with attractive fireplaces. The beautiful handcrafted staircase leads to a wonderful landing which feeds two impressively large double bedrooms, three smaller bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The entire property benefits from wonderful high ceilings, uncommon with a property of this era.
Externally, the gardens are well stocked and maintained, with the house sitting centrally within the plot and the driveway to side which is capable of accommodating 10+ vehicles. Additionally there is a double garage, a cellar, a stable block large enough for 3 horses, and a paddock to the rear. NO FORWARD CHAIN.
