4 Bedroom Detached House

Property Description: Guide Price £550,000 - £600,000. Set back from the road in the sought after village of Petham, this semi-detached converted granary combines the character of its original building with a wonderfully rural setting. Arranged across three floors, the house is beautifully presented throughout and backs onto open countryside, with far-reaching views to the rear that form a backdrop to much of the home.

The approach immediately gives a sense of the property's setting, with off-road parking for two cars to the front and the distinctive dark weatherboarded elevations reflecting its agricultural origins. Step inside and there are further reminders of the building's past, with exposed brickwork and timbers appearing throughout the accommodation.

The ground floor is where the house really comes into its own. The kitchen is a substantial room in its own right, extending to over 17 feet and fitted with an extensive range of timber cabinetry, generous work surfaces and integrated appliances. A separate utility room keeps the practical side of everyday life tucked away.

From here, the accommodation opens into an impressive living and dining room, which is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the house. A vaulted ceiling, exposed brick and timber detailing give the room real character, while a wood-burning stove creates a natural focal point. It is the rear elevation, however, that makes the room particularly special. Full-width bi-fold doors open almost the entire room onto the terrace, creating an uninterrupted connection with the garden and the countryside beyond. Even with the doors closed, the large glazed opening frames the landscape, while in warmer weather the living space and terrace can function almost as one.

The first floor has two bedrooms alongside the first of the property's two bathrooms and a separate cloakroom. Continue to the second floor and there are two further bedrooms and another bathroom, creating a flexible arrangement spread across the upper floors. The bedrooms retain plenty of the granary's individual character, with exposed beams and varied ceiling lines, while the rear-facing principal bedroom has a particularly impressive outlook across the surrounding countryside.

Outside: The garden reinforces just how rural the setting feels the rear garden and is arranged to make the most of the setting. A paved terrace immediately behind the house provides space for outdoor seating and entertaining, with the lawn continuing beyond. The open landscape behind creates a wonderful sense of space, with far-reaching countryside views and very little to interrupt them.

The property is already comfortable and ready to move into, while still leaving scope for a future owner to put their own stamp on it. The vendors have also identified potential for further development to the side, together with additional parking or a car port, subject of course to the necessary planning permissions.
