Fairmans LaneBrenchley, Tonbridge, Kent, TN12 7AD

A former farm house with late seventeenth century origins, or earlier, remodelled or extended in the eighteenth century and again in the nineteenth and with further twentieth century changes too, featuring contrasting character, adding to the charm.

The elevations are of mellowed brickwork with some hanging tiles, under a pitched tiled roof, with the front elevation in particular, setting the scene for this important historical home.

Internally the house benefits from large, impressive rooms with good ceiling heights and benefits from lots of features, with differing period styles. The drawing room has a classical style, while the dining room is from an earlier period, complete with an inglenook fireplace. The farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room is also noteworthy, with its vaulted roof space and access into the later conservatory addition.

Upstairs, a library/study area to the landing creates a nice feeling of generous space, leading to three spacious principal bedrooms and two large bathrooms, one being en suite. On the second floor, there are two further good bedrooms, making five in total, and a further bathroom.

Outside, adjacent to the house, there is a detached cottage annexe with white weatherboard elevations, providing spacious additional accommodation, with a bedroom and bathroom downstairs and a large, vaulted reception room, fitted with an open-plan kitchen.

Outside, the gardens and grounds, laid mainly to lawn, are a feature in the overall scheme, with landscaping into mature hedged 'rooms' and a partly walled garden. These divisions provide for a heated outdoor swimming pool, with a stylish pool house, a former tennis lawn, pond, a rose garden and a small orchard.

At the rear of the plot, there is a detached four bay car port and double garage, as well as additional parking by the house and cottage.

A footpath directly off the garden leads up to the village via the Church yard, avoiding the need to walk on the road and another footpath to the rear, for country walks, is accessed along the main farm drive.
