It is quite rare that such a property comes to the market as this beautifully well presented six bedroom family home that sits in four acres of unspoilt countryside and offers such versatile opportunities for imaginative rural use. The property has been thoughtfully extended over the years to provide light and open plan living accommodation and in addition to being served by three bathrooms there is an additional fully equipped professional kitchen / utility room to the side. It is interior designed in light neutral tones to suit most tastes and each room enjoys an abundance of natural sunlight making the house feel particularly light and airy. On the ground floor most rooms open onto the stunning grounds with manicured lawns, patio / BBQ area, organic allotments and of particular note almost 1200sq ft of workshops with power and light. The house is set back some way from the road to provide an abundance of off road parking in addition to the garage and one must consider that with some planning a huge opportunity to enhance this home considerably could have some significant advantages to the new owners. Knockholt station is a short drive as are all links to the M25 and M20 making it a perfectly commutable home in a tranquil countryside setting that many homes just fail to deliver. Internal viewing is strongly advised and is strictly by appointment only with the sole selling agents.
