For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in Mascalls Court Road, Paddock Wood, TN12£1,650,000

Set in beautiful gardens of an acre, a detached farmhouse of considerable charm with a blend of character and contemporary features and generous proportions with a versatile outbuilding and countryside views. This stunning property has been the subject of a thoughtful programme of extending, upgrading and reconfiguring using a combination of heritage and contemporary materials to create a traditional weatherboarded farmhouse in sympathy with its agricultural setting. From the entrance porch and covered veranda to the front, the wide hallway has traditional solid oak flooring which flows through the majority of the ground floor with all the rooms spurring off the space and every room has French doors out to the garden. There is an elegant double aspect dining room to the front and a further double aspect formal reception room to the rear with a marble fire surround and tiled inserts. A further family room/living room also has a pretty fireplace and this opens out into the marvellous triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room with Oyster Riven Slate flooring and cream shaker style cabinetry under Silestone Quartz worktops. There is a comprehensive range of integrated Neff appliances including a dishwasher, induction hob, two pyrolytic ovens, a steam oven and multiple fridges and freezers as well as a John Lewis wine cooler. The central island unit has an inset sink with Quooker control tap and a contrasting quartz area with a breakfast bar and a useful utility room is accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room. Due to most rooms being double aspect and having French doors, the house is flooded with natural light and an easy flowing layout. The first floor has five bedrooms all spurring off the galleried landing with oak flooring throughout. The double aspect south east facing principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with green oak beams providing a wonderful focal point and a very generous en-suite with a double ended bath and separate large shower cubicle. There is a further double aspect guest bedroom with an en-suite shower room and the three remaining bedrooms are well-served by the stylish family bathroom. Outside Accessed via electric gates and a wide gravel driveway, there is a very generous brick built outbuilding with black weatherboarding which is currently used for garaging, storage and with an office space above. There is a small kitchen area and wc and with over 1700 sq ft of space, it offers the flexibility to become full ancillary accommodation (subject to the usual consents). The immaculate gardens wrap around the house with a wide paved terrace spanning the rear with a swimming pool and partially walled area providing a lovely spot for relaxing and entertaining. A delightful ornamental pond is planted with lush vegetation and a pretty jetty is a further restful space as well as two further wisteria covered pergolas and a children’s play area towards the rear of the garden. There is established planting throughout with a Weeping Willow, Silver Birch and abundant mature shrubs, trees and hedging with the total plot totalling just over 1 acre and wonderful countryside views.
