A charming four bedroom house in the sought-after village of Penshurst with exceptional far-reaching views.
Set within a stunning elevated position, affording far reaching views over the River Medway and The High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Located on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Penshurst, Bridge House is a charming, unlisted property of immense character set within the Penshurst Conservation Area, believed to date in part from the 18th century, with later additions. Internally, the beautifully presented, versatile accommodation is arranged over three floors. The property also has the benefit of approved planning permission to create a generous additional space and positive alteration.
The principal reception rooms are connected and provide excellent areas for both formal and family living. They comprise a spacious dining room with a charming inglenook fireplace and a double-aspect sitting room with contemporary styling, a log burner, and stone flooring. Both rooms offer good ceiling height and an abundance of natural light.
The delightful country-style kitchen/breakfast room to the rear is well appointed with a range of wooden wall and base cupboards, tiled work surfaces, and stone flooring. It features an electric oven, hob, Belfast sink, a four-oven Aga with an integral warming drawer, dishwasher, and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and fridge/freezer. A front porch and cloakroom complete this floor.
The bedrooms are arranged across two floors. The principal bedroom is of particular note, enjoying a decorative fireplace and sash windows. There is a further double bedroom on this floor, served by a well-appointed family bathroom with a separate shower.
The second floor provides a generous space that is ideal for older children or perhaps a principal suite, with two bedrooms, a second well-appointed bathroom, and wonderful views looking back to the village.
Outside, the river frontage garden is mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees and herbaceous borders that add a burst of colour throughout the seasons. A private gated driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles. Plus a single garage and separate workshop complete the external areas.
Of particular note Bridge House is coming to market with the considerable benefit of planning permission for replacement of existing single storey rear extension with new raised single storey rear extension, internal alterations, alterations to fenestration, relocation of garage and alterations to landscaping/site levels. Granted in early 2024, full details are available on the Sevenoaks council website Ref: PP-12780248.

The far-reaching views of farmland and Penshurst village are to die for. That, and the potential to extend and improve the rear of the property, make this a gem of an opportunity.
