Characterful period cottage with a contemporary finish throughout, situated in a delightful rural setting, with off road parking
1 Stone Cottages is located on the edge of the picturesque village of Penshurst, which is famous for its 14th century stately home, Penshurst Place, once owned by Henry VIII, and benefits from beautiful walks and nature on the doorstep.
The property has been beautifully updated by the current owners to provide contemporary living accommodation arranged over two floors with the benefit of outbuildings providing versatility and additional space.
Points of note include exposed stone walls, stylish kitchen and bathroom suite, off road parking and a lovely rural outlook.
A superb open-plan sitting/dining room enjoys a southerly aspect, double doors to the garden and a fireplace inset with a woodburning stove.
The kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with a range of wall and base units, integral appliances and striking exposed stone walls. A door from the kitchen leads to the conservatory which is currently used as an entrance hall/boot room.
Stairs rise to the first floor where there are two bedrooms with rural views and one with recently fitted wardrobes. A stylish shower room completes the accommodation.
Externally there is road parking for two vehicles. A gate leads to the gardens which are fence enclosed and wraparound the property to three sides. There is a terrace ideal for al fresco dining and lawns arranged over two levels. Outbuildings comprise a versatile timber summerhouse with power and light connected, currently used as a home office, together with an attractive stone outhouse currently used for garden storage.
The current owners were granted planning permission in July 2023 (now lapsed) for a two storey extension which would create a reception room in place of the conservatory and a third bedroom. Enquiries can be made to Sevenoaks District Council.
