A charming character family home tucked away on the edge of Speldhurst village.
Barden Furnace Farm enjoys a delightful semi-rural position at the end of a long driveway, within grounds of about four acres, on the edge of Speldhurst village approximately four miles equidistant of Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge.
This handsome family home dates back in part to the 1500s, with later extensions creating well proportioned living space. The property has lovely period detail throughout including mellow oak flooring, oak wall and ceiling beams, oak drop latch internal doors, fireplaces and leaded light windows.
The impressive Shaker-style kitchen/breakfast room features a four-oven Aga with lovely tiled splash back and links through to a light-filled garden room with a wood burning stove and a lovely outlook to the rear. The separate dining room has a fireplace and a stable door from the kitchen, creating adaptable space for entertaining, whilst the practical domestic space is well thought out with a utility room, walk-in pantry and a boot/dog room.
The dual aspect sitting room is a particularly spacious and characterful with a working stone fireplace and exposed beams, and a good-sized separate study provides more private space.
Upstairs there is a principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom, four further good-sized bedrooms, one en suite and all with an attractive outlook, and a family bath/shower room.

The property is set within established gardens adjoining a field to the rear of about 0.7 acres, with mixed hedging and mature trees and a wide terrace providing lovely space for entertaining.

The driveway entrance is flanked by a level fenced field of about two acres with a gate from the driveway serving the stable area comprising a wooden stable block with three stables and a tack room, a 40m x 20m manege.
