This property offers an impressive blend of period charm and modern functionality, retaining many original features that enhance its character.

Located on the second floor, this Regency “penthouse” apartment is flooded with natural light and boasts360-degree views of the Kent South Downs and North Downs. A striking, steel-framed internal glazed lantern in the hall serves as the apartment’s central focal point, letting in light from a skylight in the loft space.
The open-plan living split level-layout, including a cosy library annex, gives the home a spacious, comfortable feel. Solid flooring throughout gives ease of maintenance and adds to the home’s ambiance where you can float from room to room.
The kitchen is highly functional and inviting with bespoke cabinetry and a double-sized opening Velux window, a floor to ceiling larder, ample storage space and integrated appliances including a 5-hob Range cooker with two ovens.
The large utility room is multi-functional and can be used as a separate workspace, a scullery (with butler’s sink and extra freezer) and a laundry with washer, dryer and ample room for hanging of boots and coats.
All bedrooms are generously sized, the principal enhanced by a superior ensuite with shower over the bath and a well-lit walk-in wardrobe. The remaining two bedrooms both have floor to ceiling built in wardrobes and are bright and airy. The third bedroom is currently used as a home office.
The main bathroom has been remodelled to an exceptional standard with a high end walk in shower. There is plenty of additional storage in an easily accessed, partially boarded loft space.
The owner has achieved something truly unique, making grand use of the space and natural light available with a refreshingly beautiful flow to it.
