It is approached through impressive solid wood gates that open onto gravel driveway leading to a large off road parking area and the cart lodge that includes a garage and a carport with EV charging. There are fascinating outer period features including the roundels with Kent peg tiled roofs, traditional cowls and weatherboarding, however it is when you cross the threshold through the beautiful bespoke wood front door that you can begin to appreciate the superb internal features that make this property so special. Much of the ground floor is semi open plan and the front door opens into a hallway with herringbone brickwork and diamond pain ornamental glass that partially shields the impressive 36ft drawing room with exposed ceiling beams and interspersed with vertical beams as well as a stunning inglenook fireplace that continues the herringbone brickwork theme and includes a log burning stove. It is flanked by Tudor style wood doors to a utility room, storage facilities and a cloakroom. At the other end of the drawing room there is a charming banquette, stairs to the first floor, bespoke storage cupboards and access to the three roundels. One makes a charming triple aspect dining room with French doors to the garden; another is a delightful and relaxing family sitting room with herringbone tiled flooring and the third incorporates a stunning kitchen/breakfast room. This has a range cooker, bespoke shaker style units with quartz worktops, dishwasher and an American style fridge freezer. The spacious vaulted ceiling galleried landing with exposed beams leads to five bedrooms including three doubles in the roundels offering far-reaching views, a single beamed and vaulted ceiling bedroom that would be ideal as a nursery or study, a family bathroom, an airing cupboard and the   exceptional principal suite. This consists of a very large dual aspect bedroom with a high vaulted ceiling and cross beams, a bespoke fitted dressing room with wood fronted cupboards and a luxurious bathroom with a stand-alone slipper bath and separate shower.
