Ricketts Hill Road, Tatsfield, Westerham, Kent

Tarnhelm is an exceptional contemporary home, providing more than 2,300 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation. The property combines clean architectural lines with sleek rendered elevations, anthracite-framed glazing and energy-efficient solar panels, resulting in a home of both style and practicality.

The welcoming reception hall immediately creates a strong first impression, with polished tiled flooring and a striking glass and timber galleried staircase. The principal living and entertaining space is the impressive 30ft open-plan kitchen and dining room, which is fitted with contemporary cabinetry, high-quality integrated appliances, a substantial central island with breakfast bar and induction hob, and a distinctive feature splashback. Two sets of bi-fold doors open directly onto the terrace and gardens, creating an effortless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. Additional ground-floor accommodation includes a dual-aspect sitting room with further bi-fold doors to the garden, a separate family room, a well-appointed utility room and a cloakroom.

The first floor comprises five well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a light-filled galleried landing. The principal bedroom and a further guest bedroom both benefit from well-appointed en suite shower rooms, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom.

The property is approached through a five-bar timber gate onto a spacious driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles and access to the detached garage. To the rear, the garden is laid predominantly to level lawn and is complemented by a generous paved terrace extending across the width of the house, providing excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Mature hedging and timber fencing create a good degree of privacy and seclusion.

The Surrey village of Tatsfield enjoys a peaceful semi-rural setting on the edge of the North Downs, surrounded by open countryside yet within easy reach of London.

The surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and riding, with Titsey Place Estate and several National Trust-owned landscapes close at hand. The area is well served by a range of independent and grammar schools, including Woldingham, Hazelwood, Caterham, Reigate Grammar, St Olave’s, Newstead Wood and Tonbridge Grammar.

Transport links are strong, with rail services from Oxted and Hurst Green providing regular connections to London Bridge, Victoria and East Croydon, and the M25 readily accessible.
