Description

Standing in around three acres (T.B.V) Cherries is a stunning unique 4/5 bedroomed detached house in glorious Kent countryside and yet with the convenience of being walking distance of the lovely village of Aldington offering good local facilities.
The property was built to the current owners exacting standards and design in 2004 and remains in excellent order and includes contemporary features being incorporated into bespoke properties being built today, such as central Vac system, ground source heat pump, solar panels, under floor heating even in the basement which also has wiring for a home cinema.

Extending to an impressive 4234 sq ft the property has wonderful double height glazing to an extremely spacious central family area, a great focal point to the home entered via a grand hallway and then leading onto a handmade solid ‘Smallbone’ wooden kitchen/breakfast room with granite worksurfaces, double oil AGA with electric companion and island. Beyond you will find a 32’7” sitting room with a high vaulted ceiling again with feature glazing, in addition the ground floor provides a large study with walk in cupboard which can be used as a double bedroom and room to create an en-suite if desired, utility/laundry, cloakroom, two bedrooms with shared bathroom including bath and separate shower. Stairs lead from the family area to a huge basement games room originally designed as a cinema room but could easily be a large office space.

A sweeping staircase takes you to a mezzanine reading area overlooking the family area and leads to the master suite with balcony enjoying countryside views, en-suite with Japanese bath separate shower together with dressing room, a further suite has a generous bedroom with en-suite shower.

Outside the beautifully maintained gardens of approx. 1.5 acres (T.B.V) include a vast drive via electric gates leading to a triple garage block with electronic doors, further single garage and a number of useful outbuildings together with a quality Victorian style greenhouse. Sweeping lawns are complimented by a wealth of mature trees and shrubs, a water feature area would be an ideal site for a swimming pool, vegetable garden, wild flower area and pond. There is adjacent land also of around 1.5 acres (T.B.V) surrounded by woodland ideal for sheep or perhaps a pony and is completely private.

OFFERED WITH NO ONWARD CHAIN! VIEWING IS ESSENTIAL!
