Period cottage set in the most idyllic location with wonderful gardens & countryside views.
Fernhill Cottage is a most unique period property with later additions and situated in an idyllic countryside position.
The property has almost 2,000 square feet of accommodation arranged over two floors and has undergone significant updating in 2023 by the current owners, to include reconfiguration of the ground floor incorporating a new open-plan kitchen/breakfast/sitting room and externally finished in larch cladding with high thermal specification double glazed windows.
The property enjoys delightful established gardens, garaging, off road parking and storage. Of particular note is the wonderful rural location and open countryside views, yet is under five miles from Sevenoaks town.
The reception rooms comprise a family room with double doors leading through to the main reception space where there is spacious sitting room with wood burning stove and dining room with sets of sliding doors providing wonderful views over the gardens and beyond.
The kitchen/breakfast room connects the sitting room and dining room and altogether is a wonderful entertaining space. The kitchen comprises a range of base units and space for appliances with a central breakfast island.
There are two well-proportioned ground floor bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom and a entrance hall/boot room. Over the first floor a vaulted bedroom with wonderful views completes the accommodation.
The property is approached over a farm track leading to the private drive which provides parking and substantial double garage with adjoining log store. A post and rail fence and five bar gates lead through to the gardens which are a delightful feature of the property being principally laid to lawn with a variety of trees and shrubs. To the south is a paved terrace providing an ideal area for al fresco entertaining and to enjoy with views. Within the garden is a timber outbuilding providing excellent garage storage. The gardens are enclosed in part by post and rail fencing which allows uninterrupted views over the surrounding farmland and countryside.

The most idyllic of locations, rural but still convenient with a short drive back to Sevenoaks.
