Charming Grade II listed property with excellent ancillary accommodation, set within delightful grounds of over 3 acres with a detached barn, just 0.8 miles from Chiddingstone Causeway.
The Horseshoes is believed to date from the 16th century with later sympathetic extensions, and with character features including a wealth of exposed ceiling beams and timbers, inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and some casement windows.
Principal reception rooms comprise a sitting room, dining room and family room which flow in turn and provide a charming, entertaining space. Features include the inglenook fireplace inset with a wood burning stove to the sitting room and double doors from the family room leading out to the gardens.
The kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with a range of wall and base units with a peninsular breakfast bar and integral appliances. A door leads to the rear terrace. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.
To the first floor, there are three bedrooms, the principal benefitting from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, with a family bathroom serving the others. A staircase leads to the second floor where there is a fourth bedroom with a study area and adjoining shower room.
Externally the property enjoys its own enclosed garden with a paved terrace ideal for al fresco dining and lawned gardens with mature trees, shrubs and borders. A pathway leads to the listed timber barn which is located within the garden and there are further tucked away terraces and a pond.
To the front, the gated driveway provides parking for several vehicles and the former garage has been converted into an excellent studio annexe with a bedroom, wet room and kitchenette, providing ancillary accommodation.
Isobels Stables is an attractive timber framed property, set back from the road with its own gated drive leading to a gravel driveway with ample space for parking.
Completed in 2022, internally the accommodation is beautifully finished throughout in a contemporary style, comprising a central open-plan kitchen/sitting/dining room with a wealth of exposed beams, bi-fold doors spanning the width of room and opening to the rear gardens, a vaulted ceiling to the kitchen and a roof lantern to the entertaining space. The kitchen is excellently fitted with a range of stylish wall and base units with island incorporating a breakfast bar and integral appliances. There is also a useful cloaks cupboard. Located off the central space are four bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes, all served by two bath/shower rooms (one also interconnecting two bedrooms).
The gardens comprise a paved terrace and an area of lawn which spans two sides of the property with post and railing fencing to the perimeter and views over a paddock to the rear, which amounts to about 0.38 acres. There is also a secluded area to the front of the property where there is a summerhouse.
Gated access to the side of Isobels Stables leads past the first paddock to a second paddock of about 1.88 acres.
