House For Sale £1,395,000
The Old Cold Store was previously an agricultural building on this former farmyard, which now comprises a small number of attractive residential dwellings. The property has now been converted to a stunning contemporary country home, affording a wealth of space internally and surrounded by a generous plot. The modern design incorporates a number of features which nod to the building’s previous use as a barn, with a brick and timber-clad exteriors.
The substantial home has been converted to a very high specification, featuring premium flooring, internal decoration and lighting. Also included is a wealth of fitted storage, from attractive wardrobes in the bedrooms and a mix of wall and base units in the kitchen. In addition, the versatile layout allows for a variety of room uses, including a double bedroom on the ground floor which could serve as additional reception or home office space if desired.
On the ground floor, the accommodation leads off an imposing double height reception hall which runs the entire depth of the property and has bi-folding doors opening to the garden and a bespoke wooden staircase with glass balustrade. Double doors from the hallway open to the fabulous kitchen/breakfast room which is beautifully fitted with a central island and range of floor and wall mounted units with integrated appliances and is part open to a large double aspect reception room with bi-folding doors to the garden and double doors back to the hall. A drawing room with vaulted ceiling has a wood burner set within a feature fireplace and further bi-folding doors to the garden and an additional adjacent reception room would make an ideal family room or home office.
Four of the five bedrooms are on the first floor with the excellent principal bedroom suite having a dressing area, private luxury bathroom and Juliet balcony with lovely outlooks. There is an additional en suite bedroom whilst the remainder are well served by the superb family bathroom. On the ground floor there is an additional bedroom with en suite shower room which would be ideal for guests.
Outside
To the front a five-bar gate opens to a sizeable gravel driveway with space for several vehicles and access to a double garage. The enclosed gardens wrap around the house and are mainly laid to lawn, with maturing trees to one side and a paved terrace provides a lovely spot in which to sit, dine and entertain. The plot extends to approx. 0.38 acres and overlooks beautiful countryside comprising a mix of grassland, arable and woodland.
Situation
The property is located within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (aonb), midway between the sought-after villages of Horsmonden and Brenchley in a particularly lovely area of Kent. The nearest mainline railway station is at Paddock Wood (2.6 miles) with a regular service to Central London stations. Village facilities and local amenities are available in both Horsmonden and Brenchley with more extensive educational, recreational and shopping facilities in the nearby towns of Tunbridge Wells (8.2 miles) and Paddock Wood (2.6 miles). There is an excellent choice of schools in the state and private sector including the popular primary schools of Brenchley and Horsmonden and sought-after grammar schools in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge.
