Hatmill Lane, Brenchley, Tonbridge, Kent

If a mid-16th century characterful cottage on the outskirts of a delightful village is your idea of a dream home, then look no further that the Grade II Listed this property. Nestling in about three quarters of an acre of grounds just half a mile from Brenchley it is believed to be one of the oldest houses around the village. It has been renovated and extended by the current owners but still retains wonderful internal period features including inglenook fireplaces and beams. While externally the black and white half-timbered exterior with its high chimneystack, Kent peg tiles, casement windows and pitched roof porch add to the appeal.

The hallway includes a cloakroom and leads to the dining room with beams, an inglenook fireplace and stairs to the first floor. There is a spacious triple aspect sitting room divided by original vertical beams and features another inglenook fireplace and French doors to the rear terrace.

The attractive dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room was only updated a couple of years ago and features exposed beams, a central island breakfast bar and shaker style units with quartz worktops that house a variety of built in and stand-alone appliances.

Upstairs there is a family bathroom with a vaulted and beamed ceiling and three double bedrooms including one with a study area and the principal with an en-suite shower plus a double bedroom on the second floor.

Outside you will find a recently constructed double garage that includes a carpeted first floor space and a separate office/studio complete with lighting, electrics, underfloor heating and air conditioning. There is a renovated Wendy house and plenty of Indian sandstone terraces for outdoor entertaining. The gardens include an enchanting stream; spacious lawns surrounded by mature trees and shrub borders and colourful plantings in the spring and summer.

What the Owner says:

We fell in love with the cottage and location 40 years ago and have enjoyed renovating our lovely home and having the opportunity to extend it and add the outbuildings. It is also quiet and peaceful but we can easily walk into the village and also to the local pubs. Brenchley has some houses dating from the 1200s including the Old Palace that now houses the local post office and stationers. There is a good primary school, two excellent cafes and the Halfway House pub. The nearest station is Paddock Wood which is about three miles away and where trains to London take between 40 minutes and an hour. The town also includes high street stores, individual shops, bars, restaurants as well as two primary schools and a good secondary school. Tunbridge Wells provides excellent additional educational facilities including a number of primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted and first class private schools.
