The accommodation includes a large reception hall, providing access to all the principal reception rooms, with a cloakroom and coats cupboard, and stairs to the first floor. The impressive drawing room has windows to three aspects and a stone fireplace with wood-burner. To the rear of the house there is a study with fitted oak furniture, bookshelves and a built-in desk by Robert David Design as well as a family room with access to the garden.

The stunning double aspect kitchen/breakfast room has a fitted kitchen by 'Morris and Murray' with satin finish granite work surfaces and cupboards and drawers below, double sink, central island with granite work surface and further sink, dual zone wine store, cupboards and drawers, Miele microwave oven and steam oven, Miele coffee machine, built-in American-style fridge/freezer, double aga and companion, extractor fan above, wooden breakfast table adjoining central island and Chinese slate floor.

On the first floor, the spacious landing provides access to the five good sized bedrooms and the family bathroom. The impressive double aspect master bedroom suite has a walk-in dressing room and en suite bathroom. The guest suite has a bedroom and en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms. On the second floor there is an L-shaped room with windows to two aspects as well as a substantial home cinema with built-in screen, sound system and projector (cinema contents are by separate negotiation)

The property is approached via a five bar gated entrance over an in and out driveway leading to the parking area and detached triple garage with pitched roof, two doors and central door with extra height. The garden to the north is protected by post and rail fencing. To the rear of the house there is a substantial south-facing terrace with steps leading up to the garden, generally undulating with lawn and mature trees. The parking area and driveway extend along the length of the south-facing garden to an area of heath/woodland. In all about 13 acres (to be verified).


The property occupies a pleasant setting within the private Isenhurst Estate at Cross-in-Hand. The gated estate, with an impressive long driveway and flanked by woodland, is quiet yet extremely accessible.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
