Hartfield Road, Edenbridge, Kent, TN8

An exceptional Grade II listed country farmhouse occupying an elevated and wonderfully private position, commanding spectacular far-reaching views across the surrounding rolling countryside. Set within approximately 22.9 acres of beautifully varied grounds, this remarkable family home offers an outstanding lifestyle opportunity, combining elegant period accommodation, superb leisure facilities and glorious land including paddocks, woodland, streams, a lake and a well-stocked trout pond.

Approached via a sweeping gated driveway, the sense of arrival is immediate, with the drive winding through the grounds before culminating at the house and garaging. The setting is truly idyllic, enjoying a rare balance of complete rural tranquillity whilst remaining highly accessible.
The house itself offers beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors. A wealth of original features remain intact, including exposed timbers, leaded light windows, decorative fireplaces, inglenook fireplaces and elegant period detailing, all combining to create a home of tremendous warmth and character.

The principal reception rooms are particularly impressive and perfectly suited to both formal entertaining and relaxed family life. The elegant double-aspect drawing room enjoys wonderful natural light and attractive views across the gardens and grounds, centred around a striking fireplace. The formal dining room provides an excellent entertaining space for larger gatherings, whilst the charming sitting room offers a more intimate retreat, again featuring an attractive fireplace and beautiful period character.

At the heart of the house lies the superb country-style kitchen, extensively fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units together with integrated appliances and a traditional AGA. The kitchen enjoys lovely views over the gardens and grounds and is supported by two generous pantries providing excellent additional storage and appliance space. A boot room and two cloakrooms complete the ground floor accommodation, whilst steps descend to a useful wine cellar.

A beautiful staircase rises from the welcoming entrance hall to the first floor, where the principal bedroom suite enjoys built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. Four further bedrooms are arranged across this floor, served by an elegant family bathroom.

The second floor provides excellent versatility with three additional bedrooms, a shower room with twin basins and a tank room offering useful storage, making this area ideal for guests, older children, staff accommodation or home working requirements.

The gardens and grounds are a defining feature and create a truly magical setting around the house. Expansive manicured lawns are interspersed with mature trees and beautifully stocked herbaceous borders and a substantial kitchen garden, whilst two streams gently weave through the grounds, feeding a picturesque lake and the well-stocked trout pond.

Leisure facilities include a tennis court within the grounds, whilst the swimming pool enjoys a paved surround and is accompanied by a well-appointed pool house and jacuzzi.

Beyond the formal gardens, the land opens into paddocks and large rolling fields bordered by magnificent mature oak woodland, offering endless opportunities for equestrian pursuits, recreation, conservation or simply enjoying the privacy and beauty of the surrounding landscape.
