House For Sale £1,425,000
Farley is a beautifully restored farmhouse (originally from c1700 with later Victorian additions) with two excellent annex accommodations and is approached along a country lane, sitting in a rural setting with excellent countryside views. A pair of gates open onto a shingle driveway on the south side of the house where a double carport (with log store) sits opposite the property whilst the driveway wraps around the house on the westerly side.
The house is accessed through a purpose-built westerly entrance hallway with natural stone flooring and cloakroom with cellar access and built-in storage. The hallway provides access to the kitchen/breakfast room with oak beams, natural wood flooring, bespoke handmade kitchen units with quartzite worktops and a natural wood breakfast bar. A fireplace with log burner is located alongside the dining area whilst french doors open to the garden. A larder with fitted shelving provides excellent storage options.
The original hallway now acts as a large dining room with original stripped wooden floorboards, french doors and a working fireplace and leads through to a study with wooden flooring and fitted shelving, and an adjoining utility area . The formal living room holds an original working Inglenook fireplace with french doors opening out onto the rear garden. 2 large bay windows allow excellent light into the room whilst it also includes feature plaster coving and picture rails. The windows have remote controlled window blinds. A staircase then leads up onto the first floor.
These stairs arrive on a well-lit landing with 2 large built-in storage cupboards. To the east side of the house a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and feature fireplace sits and also has access to an additional 3rd floor room in use as a dressing room. At the westerly side of the house sits the master bedroom with en suite shower room, walk-in wardrobe and fitted shutters. A family bathroom then sits alongside with underfloor heating and a large walk-in shower. Bedrooms 3 and 4 then sit at the front of the house; bedroom 3 benefitting from dual aspect windows and floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes. The 4th bedroom is currently in use as an office.
At the rear of the house sits a stone patio with feature well and water feature, providing an excellent alfresco dining space. The large lawn adjoins a wooden gazebo enjoying
countryside views, with outside lighting covering these areas. At the front of the house, on the annex side, sits a beautifully tended 200ft long garden laid to lawn and with a large pond (with goldfish and coy carp), set pathways, mature trees and shrubs and multiple fruit and vegetable patches.
The house further benefits from two excellent annexes; Little Farley and Farley Barn. Little Farley provides a one-bedroom living space – with double bedroom (with fitted wardrobes and vaulted ceiling), en suite shower room, well equipped kitchen and a good-sized living room with vaulted ceiling, large sliding doors out onto a patio area, working dual fuel log burner, windows with remote control blinds and far-reaching countryside views. Little Farley has underfloor heating throughout (warm water) and has a boiler room with washing machine, combi gas boiler and water softener.
Alongside the main house sits the second annex, Farley Barn, with an open plan kitchen/living room with bi fold doors opening out onto the rear garden. A fully fitted kitchen with induction hob, integrated dishwasher and walk-in larder (with fitted shelves, washing machine and tumble dryer) alongside a remote-controlled feature fireplace, is accompanied by two well sized bedrooms and wet room. The annex benefits from 4 zone underfloor heating throughout. Above the annex is a large full head height storage room, accessed via an exterior oak staircase. Alongside Farley Barn then sits a separate garage with power and lighting.
Farley is ideally located in the Kent countryside yet finds itself well set for local communications links, with Staplehurst station (with mainline links to London Bridge and Charing Cross) located only 5.1 miles away. Nearby Maidstone is located nearby with a comprehensive range of shops, amenities and restaurants as well as two railway stations including Maidstone East (with mainline links to London Victoria) .
The area benefits from a wide selection of excellent schools including Maidstone Boys Grammar, Maidstone Girls Grammar and Invicta School for girls in Maidstone as well as Sutton Valance to the south. The house is close to numerous recreational facilities in the area including local golf courses as well as being near to Leeds Castle with its delightful gardens and 9-hole golf course.
The nearby M20 is ideally placed to provide access to the Channel ports and to the M25, with links for Gatwick and Heathrow airports, together with London and the wider UK motorway network.
