Cuckoo Lane, Brenchley
4 bedroom detached house for sale
Originally understood to have been built as 2 cottages this beautifully appointed 4 bedroom detached house is built of mellow brick under a tiled roof and set in an elevated position within its own 2.4 acres of grounds in open countryside.
The house benefits from an abundance of light and a layout that creates great flow with the sitting room, dining room, playroom, kitchen and utility area being well connected to one another as well as via the central hallway. Upstairs is the master bedroom (with ensuite), three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. These are accessed via the central wrap-around landing that also provides in built storage and access to the eaves, over sailed by a roof light and exposed beams that offer good natural light and character.
The property also benefits from two unexpired planning permissions; the first proposes a two-storey dormer to create a new entrance arrangement on the west façade and a 2-storey side return on the north facade to create a new open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room with two large glazed doors to open onto the garden. Upstairs, an additional bedroom (en-suite) and new family bathroom are also proposed. The second planning permission enables much of the existing 4 bay garage to be used as a home office and gym (comprising shower room). These works have been partially completed to a good standard with the rear of the garage in use as a delightful home office.
Pond House has been well maintained by its current owners with all rooms painted in either Farrow and Ball or Little Greene, double glazed windows and LPG central heating system. An external 4g
Wi-Fi router is fitted to both the garage block and house to enable fast internet connection.
Situation & Location
The property is uniquely located being in a quiet rural position in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while also being in short reach of local towns, villages and trains that offer fast journey times to London.
Situated down a quiet country lane, Pond House creates its own secluded environment from its own woodland that fronts Cuckoo Lane and through which the property is accessed via a private driveway. The house enjoys an appealing elevated position that affords lovely views from the principal rooms over its own grounds and the neighbouring countryside.
Pond House is located between the sought-after villages of Brenchley, Horsemonden and Lamberhurst while also being conveniently located for access to Royal Tunbridge Wells (7 miles) and Tonbridge (9 miles) via the A21, and a short drive also to Paddock Wood (5 miles).
The A21 is within ¾ mile and connects to the south coast, London and M25 motorway network.
The house is well served for mainlines services to London via:
• Paddock Wood – London Bridge taking from 41 minutes (5 miles/ 10 minute drive)
• Tonbridge – London Bridge taking from 33 minutes (9 miles/ 15 minute drive)
In addition there are a number of nearby footpaths that can be accessed for routes through the local Orchards and fields which offer stunning views and a good route to some great local pubs!
