Somerby is a characterful five bedroom period home where 18th century charm meets contemporary 21st century living. The property, which enjoys established gardens and paddock of over 1.2 acres, is situated under 1 mile from Hawkhurst and in the sought-after Cranbrook School catchment area.

The current owners have reconfigured, updated and extended the house which now includes an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, the heart of the home, designed for the practicalities of modern day to day living, working from home and entertaining both family and friends. This striking space combines an eclectic blend of old and new; period brickwork, an open fireplace and oak parquet flooring complement the stylish finishes of the kitchen cabinetry with various integral appliances including two wall-mounted Smeg double ovens, a microwave and integral dishwasher. The dining/family area features bespoke banquette seating and bi fold doors open onto the terrace with the garden, bar area and hot tub deck beyond, creating an indoor-outdoor entertaining space.

Further flexible reception spaces, include a sitting/playroom and a reception hall/dining area with fitted cupboards and an open fireplace. A separate study provides a practical space for home working, whilst a utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, five bedrooms are served by three bath/shower rooms, two being en suite. The principal bedroom enjoys a double aspect with an outlook over the rear garden together with a dressing area and fitted cupboards. The en suite bathroom is a particular highlight, with a freestanding bath, waterfall shower, attractive tiling and a contemporary finish.

Outside, to the front, there is off road parking for several cars and access to the double garage. To the rear, the gardens have been landscaped, with lawns framed by mature trees and established planting. The terrace leads to the outdoor bar, hot tub and decked entertaining area, while beyond the main garden the land continues into a paddock flanked by neighbouring orchards.
