Rare Woodland Retreat in the Heart of the Kent Countryside

Description

Nestled within an enchanting setting, Boundary Oak enjoys a truly magical position surrounded by its own ancient woodland garden. A haven of natural beauty, the property offers a rare opportunity to embrace country living at its finest.
The mature woodland grounds are a spectacular feature, carpeted in spring with vibrant bluebells, daffodils, delicate snowdrops and primroses, creating an ever-changing tapestry of colour throughout the seasons.
The property itself is an extended 1970s detached bungalow offering spacious single-storey living within a mature and private plot. The property has been extensively updated and extended in recent years providing generous living spaces enjoying delightful garden views, allowing natural light to flood in and bringing the outside in all year round.
The welcoming entrance hall has doors off to the double aspect sitting room with open fireplace and providing beautiful garden views. Further doors lead to the boot room, with ample storage and a stable door to the garden, laundry and walk-in pantry. The well equipped kitchen with cabinets and wall units housing ample integrated appliances opens into the breakfast room with a freestanding Danish wood burning stove, French doors to the garden and an expanse of windows to the front with bespoke book shelving under providing a seating area. Double doors lead back into the inner hall with doors to the family shower room, study/bedroom with fitted desks and wall shelving. The principal double aspect bedroom is bright and airy overlooking the garden. There is a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms and a door which leads to a separate sitting room, shower room, bedroom and kitchenette with separate entrance, which could provide self-contained accommodation.
The property is approached through a timber gate along a drive to an ample turning and parking area with a brick built double garage with a substantial timber storage area to the rear. A shed with power and light creates an ideal place for a gym or hobby room. Another timber shed provides additional storage with meandering paths to the ancient woodland area. A useful dog run has been created and the grounds are fully fenced. A greenhouse, kitchen garden, wildlife pond, orchard and wild flower meadow completes this enchanting garden.
Boundary Oak presents a unique lifestyle opportunity — ideal for nature lovers, gardeners, and those seeking a private countryside sanctuary.
