Ifield Rectory presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful property in a rural setting. Occupying an impressive plot, the property offers considerable scope for those seeking space and the opportunity to own a truly individual home.

Situated along Church Road in the desirable Cobham area of Gravesend, the property enjoys a countryside setting while remaining conveniently positioned for access to Gravesend, Meopham and the wider Kent and London transport network.

Approached through double electric gates to a gravel drive with a circular turning area in parkland grounds, Ifield Rectory has an established presence and offers a rare combination of character, generous outside space and potential.

The Victorian property is believed to have been constructed in 1849 and was previously the Rectory to St Margaret's Church and used as a Sunday school until it was purchased approximately 50 years ago by the current family still occupying the home.

Of brick construction under a peg tiled roof the property is entered through an attractive entrance porch to the reception hall with an elegant staircase to the first floor and doors off. The property is full of period features including window shutters, deep skirting boards, dado and picture rails, moulded ceiling cornices, panelled doors and stained glass windows.

The dining room is light and bright with casement windows to the front overlooking the drive and an attractive fireplace with stone surround. The elegant sitting room has casement windows to the side, a stone fireplace and ceiling timbers. The breakfast room has gothic shaped French doors leading onto the terrace, parquet flooring, access to the pantry and a door to the kitchen. The kitchen is triple aspect with a good range of base units under granite worktops housing ample appliances including a range cooker. A laundry room, office and bathroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

The stairs from the entrance hall have a stained glass window over and leads to the landing with doors off. The principal bedroom has views over the drive and has plentiful fitted wardrobe cupboards. The four further bedrooms have glorious countryside views and a substantial family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation.

One of the property's principal attractions is its generous plot. The expansive stone terrace wraps around the property and provides an excellent entertaining area perfect for alfresco dining and relaxation. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees. There is a double garage with a one bedroom annexe above accessed via an outdoor staircase.

The surrounding countryside is a delightful backdrop and reinforces the property's appealing rural character.
