This generous family home offers flexible, well-presented accommodation over two floors, covering just over 4000 sq ft, plus the studio room above the garage. However, it feels even bigger because of the huge open-plan first floor reception space, nearing almost 40 ft in length and benefitting from underfloor heating, with its spectacular pitched ceiling which makes for a stunning principal reception space and acting as a focal point in the heart of the house. Here there is an aspect on three sides, giving a tremendous feeling of space and light, together with doors to a decked roof terrace which overlooks the swimming pool courtyard, with outside stairs lowering down.

One end of the impressive reception space is fitted with a bespoke painted kitchen, finished with white and grey fleck marble work surfaces, complete with an extensive run of base units on three sides and a large central island unit, including a breakfast bar to one end. Appliances include a three oven programmable electric Aga, dishwasher, fridge and wine fridge. In the centre of this space there is a large Inglenook fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove, providing for an informal sitting area as well as space for a dining area too, with built in banquette seating along one wall. To the other end of the room, there are two open roundels, one with a cosy TV sitting area and one which is used as a studio/work room.

The rest of the accommodation is nicely spaced out, with the principal bedroom having bespoke painted wardrobes and a stylishly appointed, large roundel bathroom with underfloor heating, a separate walk-in shower and twin sink units. There are up to a further seven bedrooms, if required, with four bathrooms or shower rooms in all. Other useful spaces include the boot room on the ground floor and the generous utility space upstairs, with all of the accommodation benefitting from a Lutron lighting system including programmable lighting in key areas, together with a Bang & Olufsen entertainment system to the family room, sitting room, playroom and principal bedroom which is available via separate negotiation.

Outside, the electric gated drive sweeps in from the lane, with a paddock to the right leading up to the tennis court. The drive then crosses a delightful bridge continuing on to the property and leading to the generous parking area. The triple garage building has two open bays and a large insulated studio room above with outside steps up, currently arranged as a gym, giving potential for a variety of uses subject to any necessary consents.

To the rear, there is a beautiful walled swimming pool courtyard, complete with a electric safety covered heated pool set into to a large York stone terrace, with a gazebo covered seating area and fitted barbecue kitchen, all benefitting from the extensive mature planting.

In addition, there are wonderful established gardens and grounds, with terracing by the house onto an expansive and level lawned garden, with a central oak tree providing shade, a landscaped pond overlooked by a raised deck and an inspirational treehouse den, built by Highlife Treehouses for children's play. Beyond here, there is a large parterre planted with roses and surrounded by hedging and feature topiary. This overlooks a less formal lawn which is used for children's sports, screened off with trees and hedging, with a stable block tucked behind comprising two stables and a hay store. There are two paddocks, one with a tennis court accessed at the entrance to the house drive, and the second one being separate from the rest of the land, accessed directly from Clay Hill Road and with an initial farm track/public footpath which runs along the left, heading off towards to Furnace Mill and Lamberhurst.
