To the right of the entrance hall, there is a charming sitting room, with exposed floorboards, ornate cornicing and a splendid exposed brick fireplace. Both of these reception rooms enjoy plenty of natural light via tall sash windows, each with their original built-in shutters.
To the rear of the property, there is an impressive, dual-aspect dining room, with a spectacular inglenook fireplace with an inset wood burning stove and beautiful views over the gardens. The dining room leads to a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, with upvc double glazed French doors which open onto a vast sandstone patio area, ideal for al fresco dining. The kitchen has been fitted with an extensive range of farmhouse style wall and floor units, set around a mix of granite effect and woodblock work surfaces, a Butler sink and a range of integrated appliances including a range cooker.
On the first floor, a pleasant galleried landing leads to three bedrooms and a well appointed family bathroom and shower room. Both of these have been fitted with modern white suites and finished with attractive tiling. The two bedrooms to the front of the first floor are both spacious double bedrooms with cornicing, fireplaces and lovely sash windows which afford spectacular and far reaching views. Both of these bedrooms have built in double wardrobes and beautifully appointed en suite shower rooms.
From the landing, a staircase rises to a central landing, with ample built in storage, on the second floor. This in turn leads to a further two double bedrooms.
On the ground floor, an enclosed staircase descends to a huge double chamber cellar, which completes the extensive accommodation within The Farm House. This has a great ceiling height, beautiful exposed beams and brickwork and natural light via two upvc double glazed windows. These two rooms are currently arranged as a gym and a home office however they could easily serve as an additional entertaining space or perhaps a home cinema.
OUTSIDE:
The Farm House enjoys an exceptionally private and secluded position set within 0.36 acres of magnificent gardens and grounds. The property is approached via a discrete, unadopted track and is set behind a beautiful old brick and ragstone wall. A set of tall, wrought iron double gates open onto a large gravelled driveway, which provides parking for numerous vehicles and leads to a detached double garage. This has been sympathetically built with an attractive mellow brick, a concertina sliding door and a slate tiled roof, to ensure it is very much in keeping with The Farm House.
The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and have been planted with an extensive array of mature trees and shrubs, which contribute to the complete privacy and the sense of being within a mature, rural setting. A sandstone patio runs along the entire rear of The Farm House, opening up into a much larger patio area adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room, ideal for outdoor entertaining.
SITUATION:
The Farm House enjoys a rare setting, situated just off a discrete farm track which leads to The Farm House and just a handful of other beautiful period homes which formed the original hamlet of Grove Green. This collection of properties, including an old barn conversion, a school house and an oast house, create a tranquil rural setting, yet all are within minutes walk of Grove Green's numerous amenities, including a Tesco superstore, a doctors surgery, a dentist, a chemist, a post office, a newsagent and two pubs.
The property is surrounded by excellent education opportunities both in the primary, and secondary sector, St Johns primary school, Invicta grammar and the school of science and technology are all within walking distance.
Bearsted is just over a mile away and is an idyllic Kentish village, with a beautiful village green, flanked by many fine period residences, The White Horse and The Oak on The Green public houses, The Fish On The Green and several village shops including the renowned Crouch Butchers.
For those who enjoy riding, there are stables and livery yards nearby, along with plenty of bridleways.
The nearby village of Leeds is host to Leeds Castle, over 900 years old and set within over 500 acres of beautiful park-like grounds, the castle is known as the loveliest castle in the world and is a draw for tourists from all over the world.
For a far wider range of amenities, the nearby county town of Maidstone offers a fine selection of shopping, educational and recreational facilities, including several grammar schools, Fremlin Walk Shopping Centre, three stations and a hospital.
