Description

Main Description

This impressive detached family home is set within gardens of approximately just over one acre and located on the outskirts of the highly sought-after village of Benenden.

Offering spacious and versatile accommodation throughout, this beautifully presented property combines a peaceful countryside setting with convenient access to local amenities, schools, and transport links.

Approached via secure gates, the property benefits from a large gravel driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles. The welcoming entrance hall includes a useful study area and leads to the main living accommodation. The stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/family room is a real highlight, featuring dual-aspect natural light, quartz work surfaces, exposed brickwork, and doors opening onto the garden. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a snug with log burner, a separate dining room, utility room, and cloakroom for convenience.

Upstairs, the property offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms enjoy beautiful views. A contemporary family bathroom completes the first floor.

Outside, the beautifully landscaped grounds provide a mix of formal gardens, lawned areas, mature trees, a vegetable garden with raised beds, fruit trees, woodland, and a pond. The rear garden is designed for entertaining, featuring a generous terrace and a heated swimming pool with air source heating.

A detached cedar-clad summer house with log burner provides additional flexible space, while the separate pool house is currently used as an office and includes underfloor heating, storage, filtration facilities, and a changing room with shower and WC. With its existing facilities and independent layout, the pool house also offers excellent potential for use as a self-contained annex, guest accommodation, or additional family living space (subject to any necessary consents).

An exceptional family home offering space, privacy, and a superb rural lifestyle, with the added benefit of being within the Cranbrook School catchment area.
