    About this property

    • Coldharbour Farm occupies an idyllic position within a Conservation Area with far-reaching views over its own adjoining fields. The property is situated at the end of Coldharbour Lane about 1.2 miles outside of Hildenborough village. The lane is a no through road public highway and the countryside beyond offers extensive walking, cycling and bridlepaths. The village benefits from a church, village hall, library, chemist, primary and private schools, public houses, a café and general village store.

      The sitting room features wall and ceiling timbers and an inglenook fireplace inset with a wood burning stove, and opens to a bright and airy reception area with a vaulted ceiling and an office arranged in the roundel.

      The kitchen/dining area is fitted with a bespoke range of wall and base units with integral appliances and skylights within a vaulted ceiling together with bi-fold doors opening to the terrace. The worktops extend to a peninsular which incorporates a wine fridge and breakfast bar, and there is a cloakroom with a storage cupboard.

      A spacious playroom and games room provide further reception/entertaining areas, both with feature fireplaces and a double aspect.

      A utility room and boot room provide additional storage and space for appliances, and a cloakroom off the entrance hall complete the ground floor.

      Arranged over the first floor are five bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room with twin basins and a dressing room, and one utilised as a study with stairs rising to the second floor.

      A well-appointed family bathroom and a separate shower room with a linen cupboard complete the first floor.

      Arranged over the entirety of the second floor and completing the primary accommodation is a bedroom with eaves access and an adjoining W.C.

      The Cottage adjoins the outbuildings and is self-contained with a boutique style kitchen/living area with exposed timbers and wood burning stove, and doors opening to the terrace. There are two bedrooms, both served by a stylish shower room.

      The superb range of outbuildings curve around the charming courtyard garden and comprise a number of versatile store rooms linked with an open bay log store.

      There is a gym and office with power and heating/air conditioning connected, the office with doors opening to a most charming walled kitchen garden. An area of parking besides the outbuildings has an electric vehicle charging point.

      The immediate gardens and grounds are predominantly laid to landscaped lawn interspersed with a variety of established shrubs and specimen trees.

      An expansive paved terrace spans the side of the property and enjoys fantastic views from an elevated position over the property's own paddocks and beyond.

      Stone steps lead to a lower level terrace and a natural swimming pool with an over hanging decked area surrounded by a pond with aquatic planting and raised flower beds stocked with perennials and wildflower, and arbours adorned with climbing plants.

      The lawns continue to gently slope down to a hedge with paddocks beyond.

      The impressive equestrian facilities are a real feature and comprise a large American barn, currently with four stables to one side with front and rear doors and a tack room and sliding doors to either end. The other side is currently utilised as a barn for agricultural storage but additional stables could be installed if required. Above the stables is a mezzanine area accessed via a ladder and providing additional storage. Externally is a generous covered machinery store area.

      An Olympic sized all weather surfaced manège has lighting and a separate turnout / lunge pen.

      The pastureland is divided into some smaller turnout paddocks and three larger open and level fields which the current owner utilises to produce hay and for cross country riding. An established tree line to the perimeter provides natural shelter and privacy, and there are two substantial ponds also surrounded with woodland.

      Upon leaving the property is a bridlepath that abuts the land and provides an excellent network of off-road riding.

      The land amounts to about 23.12 acres in total.
