Poundsbridge Lane, Penshurst, TN11

Occupying a privileged semi-rural position with beautiful countryside views, a wonderful detached house full of character and charm.

Superbly extended and with excellent versatile living accommodation, the fabulous vaulted kitchen/breakfast room was a relatively recent addition and provides an enviable space with roof lights, feature windows and tall bi-folding doors filling the space with natural light. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with floor and wall mounted units including a large central island and has a range of modern appliances. Engineered oak flooring continues from the kitchen through a large opening to the excellent drawing/dining room – a 24ft space with leaded light windows looking out to the rear garden and a lovely wood burner set within a brick fireplace. At the front of the house there are two further receptions rooms – a double aspect sitting room with Arts and Crafts style fireplace and a family room/study with a feature bay window which has some very special south-westerly rural views.

There is a shower room on the turn of the stairs and on the first floor there are four bedrooms all with lovely outlooks and very well served by the family bathroom whilst the principal bedroom has a private shower.

Outside

The house sits in a slightly elevated position with pretty front gardens and a driveway. On the opposite side of the lane, the property also benefits from the use of an excellent detached garage with a workshop and further space to park. This building/area is not owned by the property but held on a 55 year lease at a peppercorn rent which would be transferred to the new owners. To the rear of the house, a large patio area provides ample space to sit, dine and entertain and the garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with a selection of mature plants, shrubs and trees and with an excellent greenhouse, extends to about 125ft.

Situation

The house occupies an enviable semi-rural position on the edge of the historic village of Penshurst. A number of fantastic footpaths and bridle paths are on the doorstep giving direct access to some stunning countryside and Penshurst Place, once owned by King Henry VIII, is close by. The village is thriving with an excellent primary school, popular pub and well stocked store and Tunbridge Wells is approximately 4.5 miles away for excellent shopping facilities. The area is very well served with educational facilities for boys and girls of all ages with renowned schools, including grammar, in Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks.
