    About this property

    • Meadowcroft is a handsome detached house believed to date from the turn of the 20th century, and on the market for the first time in 25 years, offering versatile, well-proportioned accommodation and retaining several character features including ornate fireplaces, attractive wood framed windows, high ceilings, some wood panelling and decorative cornicing. Also of note are the established gardens with swimming pool and tennis court, paddocks and stabling, generous driveway and triple garage with ancillary accommodation over. Meadowcroft is well situated for the historic town of Westerham.

      The principal reception rooms are generously proportioned and comprise a sitting room with two bay windows and an open fireplace; and a dining room with ¾ height wood panelling to the walls and double doors leading out to the terrace/garden.

      The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room is an excellent space for family living, with bi-fold doors to the rear terrace, providing an outlook over the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base cabinets with a central island incorporating a wine fridge, a boiling water tap and several integral appliances.

      A well-appointed utility room with outside access, a cloakroom and separate coat cupboard complete the ground floor.

      Arranged over the first floor is the principal bedroom suite featuring a dressing room with fitted storage and an en suite bathroom with the benefit of a separate shower cubicle.

      Three further double bedrooms, served by a family bathroom with twin sinks and a separate shower cubicle, complete the first floor accommodation.

      Approach, Garaging and Ancillary Accommodation

      The property is approached via electrically operated gates over a driveway leading to a substantial area providing parking for a number of vehicles, with an attractive brick wall to the rear providing screening for the gardens and grounds beyond. The driveway is bordered with mature planting and to one side an expanse of lawn interspersed with established planting provides a lovely outlook to the front of the property.

      The detached triple garage has power and light connected and the benefit of a one bedroom ancillary accommodation to the first floor which is an excellent versatile space for use as multi-generational living, au pair or guest suite.

      The landscaped gardens provide a wonderful backdrop being principally laid to lawn, interspersed with an abundance of mature evergreen and deciduous trees and established shrubs. A westerly-facing terrace provides an excellent area for al fresco entertaining and a path leads to the swimming pool, pool house/games room and in turn, to the tennis court. There is also summer house, greenhouse and log store.

      There are paddocks adjoining the house and gardens, enclosed by post and rail fencing, with outbuildings including a stable block with four loose boxes and a workshop. A woodland area lies to the rear of the garden and there is also a pond. In total the plot amounts to 4.7 acres.
