Rural Kent Downs, Lenham, Kent

WITH LAND & STABLES - A detached 4 bedroom country and equestrian property set in 2.8 acres (TBV*) of glorious gardens with adjoining paddocks surrounding the house, plus stabling and outbuildings, located in a pretty rural hamlet on the North Downs surrounded by bridleways and country walks with nearby amenities and rail station provided at Lenham Village.
This deceptively spacious family home has been in the same ownership for the past 34 years and during this time has been renovated and extended and yet offers further opportunities (subject to permissions) to remodel /extend the current accommodation which includes in summary: generous dining room, living room with wood burner, large conservatory, with electric roll out shade awning, a fitted kitchen that could be opened up to the neighbouring utility room, four bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower rooms and fitted wardrobes, plus family bathroom.
The property is approached from a quiet country road into an electric gated private driveway with spacious parking for several vehicles/horsebox plus detached double garage and enjoys complete seclusion being set centrally within its own land. The current equestrian facilities include: 2 timber loose boxes, tack room and hay store but there are good opportunities to add to or replace with more stables (subject to permission) and ample space within the pastureland to add a riding arena (subject to permissions).
The whole offers the best of both worlds for those seeking a country lifestyle yet requiring easy access to local amenities and road and rail commuting connections.
