House For Sale £1,295,000
A delightful period home enjoying a tucked away rural position on the edge of Rotherfield village.
Description
This delightful unlisted period property is located in an idyllic position in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, accessed off a long approach drive. Yet it is not remote, lying on the edge of the quaint village of Rotherfield and 7.5 miles from Tunbridge Wells.
Now offering potential for updating the accommodation to create a wonderful family home, the adaptable living space currently comprises three good-sized reception rooms, a study with bespoke fitted oak furniture, a large kitchen/breakfast room, with a separate utility room off and a light filled triple-aspect garden room.
An oak staircase from the hall rises up to the first floor with its spacious landing, a generously proportioned principal suite with fitted wardrobes, a separate dressing room and a bath/shower room, two further double bedrooms, bedroom four and a family bath/shower room.
The detached garage lies to the western side of the house, accessed via a path through the garden and offering useful additional space, with a first floor games room, kitchenette, shower and w.c.
The property is set behind a high yew hedge within extensive landscaped gardens of about 1.45 acres which provide a good level of privacy, with fields and the open space of The Green beyond the boundaries.
A wide paved terrace around the house provides space for entertaining and there are many seating areas for enjoyment of the lovely surroundings. The garden is arranged with meandering walk-ways linking "rooms" comprising areas of lawns, topiary features, deep herbaceous and established shrub borders, a water feature, a magnificent ancient yew tree, a stately beech and an archway walk of apple trees giving access to a kitchen garden, with raised beds and a greenhouse. A large parking and turning area lies to the front of the garage.
