About this property
This pristine five-bedroom house is surrounded by three acres of land in Knockholt, Kent, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Clean geometric lines and neat brickwork define this home, which extends to over 4,100 sq ft of space. Inside, a magnificent double-height living space captures views of the greenery beyond, while an expansive mezzanine is well-suited as a home office. The area is brimming with countryside walks, while being excellently positioned for travel into London. Orpington rail station is a 15-minute drive away, with services to London Bridge in around 15 minutes.
The Tour
A secure gated entrance bordered by mature trees forms the approach to Clifton Farm. The main entrance is accessed from a courtyard at the rear of the plan. Inside, a raised platform descends to a vast open-plan living space with a soaring double-height ceiling. Tall vertical windows on three sides amplify the sense of space, framing serene views of the trees beyond. A spiral staircase ascends to a large mezzanine, currently used as a home office.
In the kitchen, hand made teak cabinetry in a warm hue is topped with marble work surfaces. A combination of pendants and track lighting run overhead, while sliding doors unfold onto the dining terrace. An adjacent pantry is fitted with additional storage, wine fridges and has room for appliances as well as access to the dining area. A peaceful sitting room has a log burner and access to the rear of the house. On this floor there is also a large double bedroom and a study with views of the surrounding woodland, and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a bathtub.
Four additional bedrooms are found on the first floor. A voluminous principal suite has a dressing room with floor-to-ceiling storage and a striking picture window. The bedroom is filled with light from glazing on two sides, including a sliding door with a Juliette balcony. An immaculate bathroom has an egg-shaped bathtub, a dual sink and a walk-in shower. Three additional double bedrooms have en suite shower rooms, while all bathrooms are complete with high quality Hansgrohe fittings.
The first floor also has a convenient utility room fitted with appliances by Bosch.
Outdoor Space
Clifton Farm is in a secluded spot, surrounded by approximately three acres of lawn and woodlands. A variety of mature trees border the garden, which stretch into expansive woodlands, creating a sense of privacy and remove. An outdoor terrace adjacent to the kitchen is perfect for outdoor dining during the warmer months, with a second terrace also for entertaining. Additionally, there is a large gravelled driveway with a covered area which provides parking for several cars.
