Description


Nestled within the serene landscape of the Kent Countryside this unique detached house was
built by Lord Darnley as part of the Cobham Hall estate. In the same ownership for over 50 years
this delightful family home with self contained annexe, effortlessly blends Georgian charm with
modern living and is a perfect country retreat less than 30 minutes from central London.

Surrounded on all sides by its own grounds, the property affords stunning countryside views to
both north and south making the most of the picturesque setting. The property is approached via
a gated front driveway that provides ample parking, with a side driveway leading to additional
parking and triple garage housed in a traditional red brick outbuilding. The expansive south facing
gardens are private and primarily laid to lawn, with well stocked borders, and deciduous and
specimen trees planted by the owners creating a high degree of privacy and year round interest. A
wide patio terrace creates an ideal space for summer gatherings. At the far end of the garden lies a swimming pool requiring updating and the old bakehouse which offers a variety of uses as
potting shed, log store and pool house.

Salient points include a wealth of exposed beams, traditional Kent peg tile roof, latch doors, 3
substantial inglenook fireplaces, original stone flagstones and exposed wooden Georgian flooring.
We understand the property to be early Georgian yet UNLISTED. It has extensive, versatile,
accommodation laid over two floors together with substantial self-contained two bedroom annexe
and large cellar, totalling over 4500 square feet, excluding outbuildings.

On entering the property, you are welcomed by a reception hallway with inglenook fireplace that
sets the tone for the home’s warm and inviting atmosphere. Stairs rise from here to the first floor.
Adjoining the reception hallway are the two principle reception rooms. The triple aspect
farmhouse kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry and oil fired Aga. The boot room
provides access to gardens and an additional staircase to the first floor. The four bedrooms are of
marvellous proportions, with fine period detail and original features.

Accessed via its own entrance or the main house, the self contained annexe offers ideal
accommodation for extended family and guests, providing a spacious reception room with
inglenook fireplace, two large bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom, and a kitchen dining
room.

Situation

The property is perfectly positioned on the outskirts of the highly sought after village of Cobham,
on a private road, with farmland soon to be planted to vines by the renowned Silverhand Estate.
It is surrounded by countryside, yet, conveniently situated for access to local amenities. Mainline
railway stations Sole Street and Meopham connect to London Victoria. Ebbsfleet International is
just 10 minutes drive away and provides an alternative fast train to Kings Cross St Pancras in just 17 minutes.

Cobham is a picturesque Dickensian Village, notable for its fine examples of period architecture.
Cricket is played on the village field, birthplace to the historic Ashes. Amenities include a thriving
community store, 3 public houses, church and village hall. There is an excellent choice of sought
after schooling, with an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted primary school in the village. Other schools include
boys and girls Grammar Schools in Gravesend, Chatham and Rochester, along with independent
schools at Cobham Hall, Kings School and St Andrews in Rochester, and Gads Hill Place at
Higham.

Recreational facilities are close at hand including Bluewater Shopping Centre and Cinema,
Rochester and Cobham Park Golf Club, Nuffield Health & Fitness Gym at Rochester and
numerous other sporting clubs. Cobham Wood, 190 acres of restored woodland within the historic
Cobham Park, is perfect for cycling, jogging and dog walking.

The property is ideally situated for the A2, M2 and M25 motorway network linking to both Gatwick
and Heathrow airports, Channel Tunnel and the Kent Coast.
