The generous snug with tiled flooring and door to the gardens also provides access to the utility area and guest cloakroom. The luxurious kitchen/dining room offers an extensive range of units with granite work surfaces, AGA and tiled flooring leads onto a boot room/porch, leading to the front of the property.
Upstairs, the landing has been opened up to providing a feature vaulted ceiling and leads to the five generous bedrooms, the master with en-suite and dressing area, with two further en-suites and the family bathroom serving the remaining four bedrooms. Timber stairs from the landing leads to the two, large square Oast kilns, both fully boarded, providing wonderful storage space and offering further potential to create additional living or entertaining space if required.
Outside, there a detached two storey stone barn to your right as you enter, with the first floor currently fitted out as an office, which provides an opportunity to create a separate dwelling for those looking for additional multi-generational living, or for an Air BNB, or a separate office if so desired (STPP).
Sitting within mature established gardens of 1.25 acres overall, the front offers a gravel drive with well stocked borders and parking for numerous vehicles, with access both sides leading to the rear gardens, which offer a range of mature trees, shrubs and flower beds with extensive lawns and a natural stream leading to the spring-fed pond. There is also a fully fitted outdoor kitchen/dining space, providing a wonderful, covered entertaining area overlooking the pond. In addition, there are a number of outbuildings, including original hopper huts and tractor shed, in need of some attention. A wooded area rises to a natural grassed area at the end of the garden from which there are tremendous views towards the North Downs.
