Hodsoll Street, Sevenoaks

A semi rural original farm house with characterful features throughout set within a plot approaching an acre with the addition of an annexe barn, ideal for a multi generational buyer looking for a ready made solution or for a business such as AirB&B.

Set within an idyllic location within a hamlet getting to see the changing seasons with arable and pastoral farms plus the wildlife but within easy reach of amenities in Culverstone Green, Meopham and surrounding areas.

Home Farm House - Set back from the country lane Home Farm House has great kerb appeal with its double fronted simple symmetry and cottage style gardens. Approached from the side lane the gravel drive approaches the house in front of the additional barn style annexe that has its own parking just the other side of the gates, very useful for ease of access.

Like all good country houses the most used entrance is to the rear into the sun room with its vaulted ceiling and triple half wall windows overlooking the fantastic garden, a favourite space of the current owners who open up the double doors to the side allowing flow of air and guests when entertaining. The kitchen spans across the rear of the house giving access to the garden room through double and single doors. Almost 30 ft in length in a true country style with cobalt blue enamelled Aga, modern appliances and shaker style cupboards with oak worksurfaces. A butler sink with picture window looks out to the garden also. Access to the first floor and cellar sit to one side of the kitchen as well as a modern shower room. Two main reception rooms of similar size sit to the front of the house and is where all the character comes to the fore. A beautiful sitting room with inglenook fireplace housing a stunning wood burning stove is the focus in addition to the parquet flooring and beams to the ceiling which is of good height and should not be a concern of some of our taller buyers. Following through to a second reception room, currently used for more formal dining, another stunning room with original floorboards, continuation of beams to walls and ceiling plus a further period fireplace with wood burning stove.

To the first floor are three very nicely sized bedrooms and family bathroom. A central landing at the top of the beamed staircase with room to sit by the window to the rear of the house gives access to all areas. The two largest bedrooms sit to the front overlooking the garden and fields beyond. All rooms feature beams and fireplaces. The rear bedroom is currently used as a study but large enough for a double bed.

The central bathroom is beautifully put together with a slipper roll top bath period high level cistern and wash hand basin with tongue and groove to the wall and monochrome flooring.

Barn Annexe - A beautifully appointed detached barn sitting in close proximity to the main house gives plenty of options for use. Currently used for Air B&B holiday rental, I am told by the vendor that it is very popular and provides a good income. We think though that it could also be ideal for a multi generation type buyer looking to purchase with an elderly relative looking to maintain independence or young adult looking for more independence and freedoms.

The property access is with disabilities in mind with a ramp to the front door, entering into the main sitting room with double aspect windows. Oak floors and built in storage set a cosy feel to space. A separate kitchen diner has all you need with a modern shaker style kitchen with fitted appliances but still gives room for a small dining table. To the rear of the barn is a large bedroom that the vendor has contemplated making into two spaces, again offering double aspect windows making this possibility simpler. A modern walk in shower room services the barn offering a light and bright solution.

Gardens - Sitting centrally the property offers a wrap around garden in a good sized plot of approx. 0.75 acres. A five bar gate gives up access to the central gravelled drive. Mature borders and trees sit within sculptured beds that offer interest and colour throughout the year. Daffodils and other spring bulbs erupt in the lawned areas and the vendors currently keep chickens in a designed coop. A hexagonal designed summer house is a great feature and provides just one of many social seating areas around this good sized garden. Further afield the property sits amongst a rural outlook which means regular visits from fantastic wildlife.
