Description
Dormer Cottage is a beautifully presented 16th Century Grade II listed home, centrally located within the Conservation Area of the pretty village of Kemsing. The current owners have added a stunning oak-framed barn with underfloor heating, which complements the original building, providing a beautiful living space arranged over two floors.

Arranged over the ground floor of the main house are two reception rooms, one with views over and access to the rear garden and the other with an impressive inglenook fireplace inset with a wood burning stove.

The triple aspect kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base cabinetry, butler sink, integral dishwasher and Rangemaster oven. The kitchen has access to a sunny rear terrace, well-appointed utility room, cloakroom and useful office area.

Accessed via an oak staircase within the kitchen is a guest bedroom/studio with a striking vaulted ceiling and views over the rear garden.

Arranged over the first floor of the main house are two generous double bedrooms, both with fitted storage and loft access, and one served by a stylish en suite bathroom. An equally stylish family bathroom completes the accommodation.

The attractive rear garden has a westerly aspect and forms a lovely backdrop, with a flagstone terrace ideal for al-fresco entertaining.

An adjoining area of level lawn is bordered with well-stocked borders planted with herbaceous shrubs, evergreen and deciduous trees.

Within the garden are four ponds, a characterful brick-built outhouse, an insulated summerhouse currently used as an office, two sheds, an enclosed chicken run and a small orchard area. In total, the plot amounts to about 0.25 of an acre.

To the front, the property is approached via a brick path and a brick and stone edged shaped bed planted with spring bulbs and perennials. An adjacent brick paved driveway provides ample parking and there is a EV charger.
