Fernhurst, Hills Lane, Knatts Valley, Kent

The Property

Approached through a gated carriage driveway, Fernhurst is a substantial country house set within approximately 3.71 acres in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Offering around 5,000 sq ft of principal accommodation, alongside a separate annexe and pool house, the property combines generous family living with an impressive range of spaces for entertaining, working and relaxing.

The reception rooms each have their own character, from the sitting room, where a vaulted ceiling, exposed oak timbers and bespoke panelling create an inviting focal point, to the double-aspect dining room with its impressive brick fireplace and bi-fold doors to the garden. A cinema room and study provide further flexibility, while the kitchen, breakfast and family room forms the natural centre of everyday life. Fitted by Chambers, it features full-height cabinetry, a central island, integrated Miele appliances and limestone flooring, with bi-fold doors opening onto the terrace.

The principal suite occupies its own ground-floor wing, with oak-panelled walls, a generous bedroom opening onto a private terrace, a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom. A further guest bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite completes the ground floor. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms are arranged around the landing, two with Juliette balconies and en-suite shower rooms, while the remaining bedrooms share a separate shower room.

The self-contained annexe offers an additional 1,044 sq ft of accommodation, comprising an open-plan kitchen, sitting and dining room, bar area, double bedroom and shower room. With air conditioning and built-in speakers, it is well suited to visiting family, multi-generational living or potential letting accommodation.

Externally

The gardens provide an impressive setting for the house, with a broad paved terrace spanning its rear elevation and steps leading down to manicured lawns, paved pathways and established planting. A raised bed of standard Wisteria trees creates a seasonal canopy, while well-stocked borders bring colour throughout the year. Further into the garden, a central lawn and decked terrace surround a wildlife pond.

The leisure facilities are equally impressive. A full-size tennis court sits within the grounds, while the swimming pool is accompanied by a substantial pool house incorporating a bar with integrated sink and fridges, a gym and shower room. A detached garage with power, lighting and EV charging, together with an adjoining garden store, provides practical additional space. Beyond the gardens, an adjoining paddock and established boundary planting contribute to the privacy of the setting.
