A substantial four-bedroom detached property offering almost 2000 sq.ft of spacious and versatile accommodation set within a quiet close in the village of Harrietsham.
Primrose Cottage has seen many improvements over the years as well as reconfiguration of the downstairs space to create a large family kitchen dining area which connects directly to the conservatory with bifold doors, also added by the current owners.
The modern composite front door welcomes you into a large entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, a convenient cloakroom, and storage cupboards.
To the left there is a dual aspect sitting room with Aga wood burning stove set within a decorative mantle and exposed brick chimney breast. The window to the front is dressed in contemporary white shutters whilst to the other end of the room there are French doors that lead onto the West facing garden.
The kitchen breakfast room has been reconfigured to incorporate a large island/breakfast bar which has been finished in rich granite that matches the work tops. The curved solid wood units integrate all main appliances and include additional luxuries such as a Quooker boiling tap, insinkerator and wine cooler.
The space has been beautifully finished with brick tiles and under pelmet lighting. The space is so vast that there is also room for a breakfast table which overlooks the garden and is adjacent to the pitched roof conservatory.
The kitchen is complemented by a utility room which also leads through to the garage.
The downstairs space is further enhanced by two more reception rooms and an additional office which leads through to the utility. The accommodation is exceptionally versatile with the option to open up more rooms, create a ground floor bedroom or playroom.
To the first floor there is an impressive galleried landing which leads to four double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The main bedroom has a stylish ensuite shower room and walk-in wardrobe and views of the village church.
Outside:
Primrose cottage is set back from the road is this quiet close.
An attractive front garden provides a wonderful first impression, beautifully manicured with established shrubs and a Mirabelle plum tree, the greenery surrounds the driveway which leads to a double garage.
The house feels wonderfully connected to this private and peaceful west facing garden with French doors leading off many rooms as well as the impressive bi-fold doors opening fully from the conservatory.
The patio runs the full width of the house and spills out onto the circular shaped lawn and several flower beds.
There is an array of young trees including a pear tree as well as several established climbers.
A hot tub with recently installed wooden shelter and bar has been positioned in the far corner and will be left with the sale of the property along with the convenient storage shed.
