Crook Road, Brenchley, Tonbridge, Kent

This stunning Grade II Listed triple oast property, on the outskirts of Brenchley, borders the edge of the High Weald ANOB. It nestles in 2.67 acres of grounds with panoramic views over the North Downs and approached through solid wood gates that open onto gravel driveway. This leads to a large off road parking area and the cart lodge that includes a garage and a carport with EV charging. Fascinating outer period features include the roundels with Kent peg tiled roofs and traditional cowls; however, it is the internal features that enhance the property even more. Much of the ground floor is semi open plan and the bespoke front door opens into a hallway with herringbone brickwork and diamond pane ornamental glass that partially shields the impressive 36ft drawing room. This has exposed ceiling and vertical beams and a stunning inglenook fireplace with a log burning stove. It is flanked by Tudor style wood doors to a utility room, storage facilities and a cloakroom. At the other end of the drawing room there is a charming banquette, stairs to the first floor, bespoke storage cupboards and access to the three roundels. One makes a charming triple aspect dining room with French doors to the garden; another is a delightful and relaxing family sitting room with herringbone tiled flooring and the third incorporates a stunning kitchen/breakfast room. This has a range cooker, bespoke shaker style units with quartz worktops, dishwasher and an American style fridge freezer. The spacious vaulted galleried landing with exposed beams leads to five bedrooms including three doubles in the roundels offering far-reaching views, a single beamed and vaulted ceiling bedroom, a family bathroom, an airing cupboard and the principal suite. This consists of a large dual aspect bedroom with a high vaulted ceiling and cross beams, a bespoke fitted dressing room and a luxurious bathroom. There is also a cellar and storage facilities on the second floor. The garden and surrounding grounds include a large wildlife pond with a raised seating area, a pergola covered walkway to lawned areas and a block paved circular patio dining area with wonderful views.

What the Owner says:

This has been a wonderful and unusual home, but we are starting a new chapter in our lives. We love the views and being able to walk to the local pubs and Brenchley village that includes some 13th century houses, the Old Palace that houses the post office, a good primary school, a convenience store and the Halfway House pub.

The nearest station is Paddock Wood which is about three miles away and where trains to London take between 40 minutes and an hour. The town also includes high street stores, individual shops, bars, restaurants as well as two primary schools and a good secondary school. Tunbridge Wells provides excellent additional educational facilities including a number of primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted and first-class private schools.
