This unique and beautifully presented home enjoys a desirable setting in the popular village of Kemsing and within approximately 1.6 miles of Otford station. The property forms part of an exclusive gated development converted in 2010 to an exceedingly high standard. Originally built in 1875 as the vicarage, it was named after Anne of Cleves, one of Henry VIII’s wives – the family were gifted Kemsing parish by the king. Each property has a wealth of original features such as cornicing, high ceilings and sash windows as well as enjoying communal gardens of one acre and their own private courtyard garden. The current owners have skilfully combined the original features and unique feel of the property with inspired interior design resulting in a truly lovely, warm and inviting home.
The ground floor is accessed via a welcoming entrance hall with beautiful ceilings and oak flooring. A light filled sitting room enjoys wonderful views of the gardens and has been fitted with a bespoke bookcase across the full wall that surround the double internal doors. There is a bedroom with ensuite bathroom on this floor as well as a beautiful staircase which accesses all floors. The staircase leads down to the lower ground floor to the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen has a range of wall and base units, integrated appliances, a quartz worktop, a central Corian topped island and decorative vinyl flooring. The dining room is located to the rear with access to the beautiful courtyard and communal gardens beyond.
On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms, whilst on the second floor there is a 17ft double bedroom, with another shower room across a small hallway, where there are built in wardrobes.
