5 bed detached house for sale

Maidstone Road, Horsmonden TN12

Set on the rural outskirts of Horsmonden with countryside outlooks, this charming Chapel has all the period and architectural features one would expect including vaulted ceilings, stone mullioned arched windows and a magnificent stone fireplace. It has a versatile layout to suit differing family set-ups with a first floor family/TV room and study overlooking the double height sitting room and a ground floor bedroom and bathroom as well as four bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.

The pretty entrance porch opens into the fabulous double height sitting room with a dramatic vaulted ceiling, a stone fireplace with log burner and tall arched windows on both sides. This is a fabulous space for entertaining and is incredibly light and bright being double aspect whilst the original rafters bear witness to its Baptist Chapel origins. An oak staircase leads to the first floor where the family/TV room and adjacent study have minstrels’ galleries overlooking the sitting room.

Arched doors lead through to the kitchen on one side which is well-fitted with shaker style cabinetry and outlooks to the garden and there is a door through to the adjacent dining room which has tall windows overlooking open countryside. A spacious inner hallway gives access to a playroom/gym which lends itself to being a ground floor bedroom as there is a most attractive bathroom on the ground floor with a freestanding bath and generous shower cubicle as well as a walk-in wardrobe and useful utility room.

One staircase then leads to the principal bedroom on the first floor and the other leads to three first floor bedrooms which are well-served by an attractive shower room. The afore-mentioned family/ TV room and large study both have minstrels’ galleries overlooking the magnificent sitting room.
