Property description
Imagine a timeless early spring scene. As the mists clear a beautiful c. 16th Century oak framed farm house appears like a Tudor galleon. The sun touches the traditional earthy Kent peg tiled roof and the elevations of the house light up in a gorgeous, brilliant rosy red. As the mists clear further they reveal the village of Pembury where once was all apple orchards. A farmhouse once surrounded by fields now sitting proudly in the centre of a vibrant and very sought after village.
The dining room is a cosy haven in the oldest part of the house. Show your guests through the ancient front door into this fabulous entertaining room. Imagine the table set with your finest china and lit by candlelight and the roaring fire.
The gardens surround the house with a high brick wall giving seclusion that is added to by mature trees and shrubs.
The living room is in the 17th century ‘extension’! With grander higher ceilings and larger windows this is a great room for gathering the whole family or for tucking yourself away with a good book under one of the large windows near the wood burning stove.
The kitchen is possibly where the old dairy was and now links the living room and study to the dining room. This is where you enter every day via a useful porch and is the real heart of the home.
The bedrooms are absolutely charming with exposed oak timbers and lovely fireplaces.
And then there is the annexe…
What the Owner says:
The annexe was a huge bonus to us. It had been an architect’s studio, a stylish space with exposed beams and vaulted ceiling. Before that we believe it held racing cars. For us it was the perfect building for our pre-school nursery business. Recently the downstairs has been storing family clobber and the upstairs a family annexe. However you use this amazing space you won’t be short of parking and nor will your clients.
The village has been the most amazing place to raise our family, run our business and make lifelong friendships. The excellent primary school is a short walk away as are the local shops, amenities and pubs. A walk to the nearby woods with the dogs blows away the cobwebs and it is always such a joy to return to such a lovely home.
