Set towards the edge of the sought-after and historic village of Westerham and close to lovely open, National Trust protected countryside, a fine, detached house of quality surrounded by lovely, mature gardens. Believed to date from the 1930s, the house displays many of the characteristics synonymous with the period and yet has been sympathetically and seamlessly refurbished by the present owners. With accommodation extending to in excess of 4,800 square feet, external elevations are of white painted render under a pitched tiled roof with leaded light double glazed windows, which have external shutters and the characterful accommodation is elegantly arranged over two floors, providing sociable family areas as well as rooms that are more formal. Period detailing includes the marvellous parquet flooring in the family room along with the distinctive red brick fireplace, tall ceilings and the handsome staircase, whilst newer features include the polished Karndean flooring, which flows through the reception hall to the dining room and kitchen/breakfast area. Reception rooms are gracious, all enjoying a fine prospect over the gardens with the dual aspect sitting room with large bay window having bespoke book shelving and a gas fire, whilst the family room was once a large, formal drawing room to the original house and has a triple aspect, opening through to the garden room, where there is access to the temperature controlled, spiral wine cellar. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively furnished with a range of wall and base units arranged to include two islands, one as a breakfast area. There are granite and wooden work surfaces and integrated appliances by Bosch and AEG as well as a walk-in pantry. The five/six bedrooms are laid out over the first floor and are supported by four bath/shower rooms, three of which are en-suite. The principal bedroom is essentially a suite of rooms, which allow for a large bedroom along with a fully fitted dressing room, en-s

The house sits towards the end of a private access lane and is approached via a sweeping drive, leading to a large parking and turning area and the double garage, which includes an electric vehicle charging point. Extending to just under an acre, the lovely gardens have been landscaped to ensure privacy and include a wide variety of mature trees, specimen shrubs and colourful herbaceous borders, wide swathes of well-tended, level lawn and a rose garden. Terracing adjoins the rear of the house with a second terrace surrounding the heated swimming pool.
Situation
Westerham is a vibrant and thriving community, rightly proud of its heritage and position, nestling at the foot of the North Downs. Illustrious former residents include the sixteenth century religious reformer John Frith, Major General James Wolfe and of course Sir Winston Churchill, who chose Chartwell as his family home and lived there until he died. There is a charming mix of restaurants, cafes, local shops and boutiques, attracting visitors with its quaint atmosphere and historic associations. The immediate countryside is lovely, providing for marvellous walks and riding, whilst there are many tennis, rugby and soccer clubs locally along with various golf clubs such as Westerham and Tandridge. The nearby the towns of Oxted (approx. 5 miles) and Sevenoaks (approx. 7 miles) have more comprehensive facilities as well as fast train services to the City of London and the West End. The area is well known for having a fine selection of schools in both the state and private sectors including Churchill Primary School Westerham, Woldingham School for Girls, Sevenoaks School, a wide variety of preparatory schools and the Kent grammar schools.
