5 bed detached house for sale

Hockenden Lane, Swanley BR8

Hockenden House is a beautiful Grade 2 listed detached farmhouse dating back to circa 1650 and is wonderfully situated in formal grounds of approximately 4 acres. Beautifully proportioned and retaining many of its original features, the property has been well maintained by the current owners. It is gated and approached via a large circular driveway leading to the beautiful porch entrance of the house and also the paddock area with garages and outbuildings. For a number of years this was partly used as a day nursery and after a full renovation it now benefits from a self-contained one bedroom annexe. There is also a separate detached nursery room which contains a wc and sink unit suitable for an office or study room. The house itself offers a wonderful living space - the ground floor comprises of a beautiful entrance room, large triple aspect sitting room leading to a conservatory and gardens, dining room with original features and a generous kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is comprehensively furnished with a range of wall and base units with dishwasher, fridge and an electric oven and hob. There is also an additional oil fired 'Rayburn' boiler/cooker which is used for heating and cooking. There is a good sized utility room with direct access to the garden. To the first floor there are five double bedrooms - the dual aspect master bedroom benefits from a dressing room and a full en-suite bathroom. There are also two further bathrooms. Whilst enjoying a very rural setting, boasting beautiful sunsets, all major amenities can be found close by.
