Description

Freeman Forman are delighted to present this charming extended four bedroom attached converted stables, located in a peaceful setting with around an acre of garden and orchard. The property has the added benefit of a large double garage, with studio/office/gym above. The property is approached via a long private driveway and forms part of an exclusive small farm estate, offering a peaceful, private and secure setting. A viewing comes highly recommended.

Accommodation: The property offers a wealth of character features such as exposed ceiling and wall timbers, high vaulted ceilings, oak flooring and traditional oak doors. The ground floor accommodation includes an entrance hall, a dining room with a vaulted ceiling, a fitted kitchen, a stunning sitting room with vaulted ceiling and a wood burner, a shower room, two bathrooms and three double ground floor bedrooms. Stairs lead from the dining room to the first floor study, bedroom and bathroom with eaves storage. The property also benefits from a Valliant Air Source Heat Pump and has a fast broadband connection.

Outside: The property is accessed via a long shared driveway, leading to the private driveway which allows for plenty of off road parking. The rear garden is a particular feature of the property and includes a large patio/sun terrace which is ideal for entertaining family and friends whilst offering a good level of privacy and seclusion. The rest of the garden includes a paddock which is laid to lawn and leads up to an orchard, all of which amounts to approximately one acre (tbv). Located a short walk away from the property is a terraced garage with stairs that lead up to the studio/office which would be ideal for anybody looking to work from home.

Badsell Park Stables is a unique character property, which dates back to 1890 and was completely renovated in 2001, with later additions comprising an oak frame garden room extension and additional living space to the first floor (study, bedroom and ensuite bathroom), completed in 2010. The property also benefits from the very recent installation of a Vaillant air source heat pump providing highly efficient heating and hot water supply. Whilst the Stables is not listed, it features many character features including exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings, traditional oak latched doors, travertine tiling, solid /engineered oak flooring and granite work surfaces, in the kitchen. The property is beautifully situated amongst a small cluster of dwellings which includes a listed Oast house and listed traditional farm house. The beautiful surrounding countryside setting is rural but not isolated, which also benefits from many local footpaths through open countryside and woodland settings. The paddock to the rear of the property is stock fenced benefiting anybody who may have dogs. With access along a private shared driveway, the tranquille setting also boosts easy access to the beautiful village of Matfield, with it’s award-winning butcher / two exceptional pubs and Paddock Wood providing local amenities and mainline train connection to London Bridge. Whilst, Tunbridge Wells is also within 6 miles and Sevenoaks within 13 miles. The A21 provides good motorway access with Gatwick Airport accessible within 45 minutes.
