An enchanting Grade II Listed farmhouse in this pretty hamlet on the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells, well placed for local amenities, nearby towns & within half a mile of a mainline station
Found in this semi-rural, yet highly convenient location within 4 miles of Tunbridge Wells, and forming one of a collection of attractive period properties, Rushlye Farmhouse is a charming (circa 17th Century) tile hung property enjoying characterful, well-proportioned accommodation which is beautifully but sympathetically presented throughout.
On the ground floor, the well-appointed shaker style kitchen is fitted with both base and wall cabinetry providing good storage, together with ample preparation space and integrated appliances including a Lacanche range cooker. The kitchen is open to a more informal dining area with double doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond. There are three further reception rooms; a formal dining room with an impressive inglenook fireplace and striking Stovax wood-burning stove. A delightful and sizeable, dual aspect sitting room also with a feature fireplace and modern LPG fire. A study overlooking the garden and providing an ideal spot for working from home. A side hallway with access to the garden and gazebo, also stairs leading to the tucked away fourth bedroom. A shower room with wc and underfloor heating and utility room with rear door to the garden completes the ground floor.
On the first floor are four light and spacious double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The current configuration has Bedroom One, a large dual aspect room with a door to a walk-in wardrobe and views over the front and rear gardens, a second door gives access to wardrobe space and through to Bedroom Four with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, both overlooking the garden. Bedroom Two with fitted wardrobe is dual aspect and Bedroom Three under the eaves has had planning permission for revised bedroom and bathroom (lapsed January 2024.) Together with Bedrooms One, Two and Three, the family bathroom with under floor heating leads from the landing.
Outside: Rushlye Farmhouse enjoys a generous plot, surrounded by the landscaped and established gardens, with herbaceous borders and specimen planting. A paved south facing terrace spans the width of the house to the rear providing a wonderful, sheltered and well-screened space for outdoor entertaining whilst enjoying the view over the neighbouring countryside to the rear.
A large wooden outbuilding houses the light and airy garden room and shed.
The house is approached via a gated, gravelled driveway with parking for several cars and a detached double garage.
