A handsome and substantial period farmhouse within 5 miles of Tunbridge Wells with flexible accommodation, sympathetically updated and beautifully presented throughout, with wonderful views
Description
Found in this semi-rural, yet highly convenient location, within approximately 5 miles of Tunbridge Wells, and forming one of a small collection of attractive period properties, Elmhurst is an impressive and sizeable, five bedroom Grade II listed period farmhouse enjoying a wonderful outlook over the neighbouring countryside.
The house dates back to the 17th century and boasts an abundance of charming features throughout, including exposed wooden beams, high ceilings, and two impressive inglenook fireplaces. The property has been improved and updated over the years to cater to the needs of modern family living.
The delightful country-style kitchen benefits from underfloor heating and is fitted with Rencraft shaker-style cabinetry topped with granite worktops, offering an abundance of storage and preparation space. There is a two-oven AGA, a twin Belfast sink, an integrated dishwasher, and space for a fridge freezer. French doors open to the brick-paved terrace and garden beyond.
The sizeable dining room enjoys an outlook to the formal front garden, together with solid wooden flooring and a characterful inglenook fireplace. The triple-aspect sitting room is fitted with a decorative wood burner with double doors opening to the terrace, offering a wonderful space for friends and family in the summer months. There is a useful utility space arranged in the cellar, with fitted cabinetry for further storage.
The bedrooms are arranged across two floors and can be used flexibly, either making use of all seven rooms as bedrooms or adapting the spaces to suit, perhaps as a home office or hobby room. The principal bedroom is of particular note, enjoying a decorative feature fireplace and fitted wardrobes providing a good level of storage space. There are four further bedrooms on this floor, served by two well-appointed family bathrooms. The second floor provides a generous space that is ideal for older children or perhaps a principal suite, enjoying two bedrooms, two reception rooms, and a well-appointed bathroom.
Outside - The large brick-paved terrace provides a delightful area to entertain and enjoy the views. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees, and herbaceous borders that add a burst of colour throughout the seasons, enjoying a variety of flora including rhododendron, silver birch, apple tree, acer, magnolia, and wisteria.
Accessible from both the driveway and rear garden, the double garage serves as parking or a convenient storage area, while the driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles. There is a charming, formal garden to the front of the property, together with an additional lawned garden fitted with a geocell membrane with access via a five-bar gate, providing further parking if desired.
