Description

An exceptional country home, beautifully reimagined for modern living, set within a peaceful, semi-rural hamlet with open countryside views.

Formerly 17th-century workers' cottages, Well Hill Cottage has undergone an extensive architect-designed programme of modernisation and remodelling by the current owners to create a home that seamlessly combines period character with contemporary luxury, comfort and impressive energy efficiency.

The property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens approaching 1 acre, which have been professionally designed and carefully established to create a series of distinctive outdoor spaces. These include an enchanting walled rose garden, ornamental ponds and cascading waterfalls, providing a peaceful and secluded setting. The gardens have been thoughtfully designed to complement the historic character of the house, with mature planting, attractive terraces and areas for outdoor entertaining. Beyond the gardens, the property enjoys stunning panoramic views towards the London skyline, offering a remarkable contrast between its tranquil countryside setting and the distant capital.

The welcoming entrance hall leads to an impressive drawing room featuring an Inglenook fireplace, a separate snug and a beautifully appointed Tom Howley kitchen. A further generous living and dining room, enhanced by extensive glazing and views across the gardens, provides a wonderful space for entertaining and everyday family life. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, together with a family bathroom. The comprehensive improvements include an air source heat pump, extensive insulation, high-performance double and triple glazing, underfloor heating, a complete rewire and replumbing, and an impressive EPC B rating. The result is a home offering the character of a period property with the performance and convenience of modern living.

A particularly attractive feature is the separate annexe, providing a bedroom, shower room and open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Ideal for guests, extended family or those working from home, it offers excellent flexibility and independence.

The beautifully landscaped gardens extend around the property, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and enjoying views across the surrounding Green Belt countryside towards Home Farm. Two driveways provide generous off-street parking, complemented by the double garage and further outbuildings.

Despite its tranquil setting, the property is conveniently positioned for Chelsfield station, providing fast connections into London, Orpington's amenities and the M25 at Junction 4. The surrounding area also offers an abundance of countryside walks and bridle paths.

Combining historic charm, exceptional modernisation, versatile additional accommodation and an idyllic rural setting, Well Hill Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual home.

Well Hill Cottage benefits from high-speed fibre broadband serving both the main house and the separate annexe. An extensive network of Cat5 cabling has been professionally installed throughout the property, providing reliable, high-performance wired connectivity across the accommodation. This comprehensive digital infrastructure makes the property exceptionally well suited to modern living, home working, entertainment and the demands of an increasingly connected household.
