Description

£800,000 - £850,000 Guide Price. Charming character-filled detached home. Set on an elevated 0.65-acre plot. Light-filled kitchen and study area. Spacious reception and dining rooms. Four generously sized bedrooms. Mature wraparound gardens with views. Private driveway with ample parking. Highly Regarded Schooling Options. Excellent Transport Links. Fine & Country presents Woodbine Cottage, a highly individual and character-filled country home occupying an elevated plot of approximately 0.65 of acre, set against the dramatic Kent Downs, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This substantial four-bedroom detached residence offers over 2,700 sq ft of accommodation across a series of split levels, cleverly reconfigured from two former cottages and extended to create a wonderfully private and versatile family home with breathtaking panoramic views. A rare opportunity for those seeking a rural retreat with genuine personality, Woodbine Cottage offers scope for imaginative reworking and modernisation, alongside an enchanting lifestyle defined by nature, tranquillity and far-reaching scenery. The gardens are a true highlight, mature, secluded and designed to maximise the home's elevated setting, they wrap around the property with a variety of terraced seating areas, lawns and secret spaces including a charming hobbit hut and newly upgraded patio terrace. Inside, the home unfolds across four distinct levels. The main living spaces sit at the heart of the home, with a spacious reception room and separate dining room both looking out onto the gardens. A central staircase connects these areas with the upper and lower levels, creating a fluid yet defined sense of space. To the rear, a light-filled kitchen with ample work surfaces and storage opens into a bright study area, a pleasant vantage point over the garden and an ideal space for home working or casual breakfasts. The accommodation is adaptable throughout. On the lower ground floor, a large basement, utility area, boiler room and storage room offer excellent practical space, connecting directly into the generous integral double garage. These spaces present interesting opportunities for workshop, gym or studio use. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged over split landings, allowing for privacy and flexibility. The principal bedroom is an inviting retreat with broad windows that frame the valley view, a perfect spot for morning coffee or a peaceful afternoon escape. A family bathroom and additional shower room complete the upper floors. Externally, the property is approached via a private driveway with parking for several vehicles and access to the double garage. Above the garage is a flat roof terrace, offering one of the finest viewpoints on the plot, an ideal setting for evening drinks or even summer entertaining under the stars. Location Woodbine Cottage is tucked away in a quiet and secluded position on the fringes of Blue Bell Hill village, part of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village enjoys a highly elevated position, affording breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside from its well-known viewpoint. Nature reserves, walking trails and the historic Pilgrims' Way are all on the doorstep, as well as horse riding routes and access to local vineyards. Despite the tranquil setting, amenities are close at hand, with the historic centres of Rochester and Maidstone both within five miles and offering a wide range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities. The area is well served by reputable schools, including Tunbury Primary, Greenacres Academy and several grammar schools in Chatham, Maidstone and Rochester. Transport links are excellent, with the M2 and M20 close by for road travel, and rail connections available at Aylesford and Rochester stations.
