As you wend your way down from Cobham and take in the stunning countryside you will realise you are about to discover something special. Nestled in a hamlet of just four houses on the North Downs Way this stunning Grade II listed Kentish Hall house was saved from demolition by the Diocese of Rochester in the 1960s. Part of the house dates back to c1390 and was converted from three cottages some 60 years ago. Whichever window you gaze from every aspect is simply amazing, whether the view across the valley to Cobham church known locally as sunset alley or the extensive vineyard to the rear of the gardens.
The current owners have thoughtfully remodelled the house with modern living in mind yet paying homage to the wealth of period features. The main reception rooms boast stunning Inglenook fireplaces both with multi fuel burning stoves and feature oak flooring. The large study/playroom leads from the lounge and opens onto the gardens along with double French doors from the dining room. The well appointed kitchen has extensive units and drawers and walk-in larder, there are two freezers and a large fridge with a Britannia Range and quartz tops with utility boot room and cloakroom/wc to the rear all with electric underfloor heating.
To the first floor the main vaulted landing has imposing brick chimney stack and oak flooring. The master bedroom has bespoke oak wardrobes fitted by GPM with en-suite shower room/wc. The third bedroom has fitted wardrobes also by GPM. A further bedroom and family bathroom complete the first floor. The second floor provides bedroom with en-suite and further bedroom currently fitted with built-in wardrobe cupboards and dressing table making the two rooms an ideal teenage/guest suite.
Outside the stunning gardens offer formal areas screened by mature hedges with brick pathways leading to practical double garage. Further gardens gently slope with vegetable plots and specimen trees flanked to the east by vineyards and timber summerhouse and further patio. An additional driveway provides further parking and leads to second garage/workshop.
