Description

"You will not expect the extra land and woodland to the rear. I love the converted shepherds hut found in the woods". - Sam Newman, Marketing Consultant.

Built in 1912, Holly House is an attractive four bedroom home found within the middle of Grafty Green village.

Presented to an excellent standard, not only does the house provide ample space with four bedrooms and three reception rooms but externally the plot measures 1.6 acres, which is rare to find when positioned in the centre of a village.

To the ground floor the property is currently configured to enjoy a sitting room and dining room both with open fireplaces and characterful sash windows. The large kitchen is positioned in the middle of the house with access to either the conservatory or large living room with log burner overlooking the rear garden. The ground floor concludes with a useful cloakroom.

To the first floor are four well proportioned bedrooms, the fourth bedroom has an ensuite toilet and sink. The main family bathroom benefits from a jacuzzi bath.

Externally, the property really comes into its own. The sunny aspect rear garden has a balanced mix of patio and gravelled areas, main lawn with hedges and shrubs to the borders. At the top of the garden you find a five bar wooden gate to the 1.5 acre paddock, perfect for grazing animals. There is a small orchard and a woodland area. Within the wooded area is a converted shepherds hut, with water, power and log burner heating. There is a sleeping area, kitchenette and separate shower area with toilet within the hut.

To the front the garden is mainly laid to lawn with hedges to the borders. The large gravel driveway is suitable for multiple vehicles with access to the garage. There is an EV charging point. To the side of the garage is pedestrian access to the rear garden.

Grafty Green is a serene historical hamlet with two public houses and village hall which runs a number of activities and events. Nearby villages of Lenham and Headcorn provide a wider range of amenities including shops, eateries, schooling, railway stations and excellent transport links.

There is a home that really needs to be viewed to be fully understood and appreciated.
