Une Belle Maison Familiale De 6 Chambres Classée Grade II Avec Une Grande Salle De Divertissement Encadrée En Chêne

Nestled in the picturesque Kent countryside, this family home has been lovingly restored over the past 20 years. Originally a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century, subsequently converted into two cottages in the 19th century before being returned to a single residence in the early 1960s.

Old Chegs is a handsome Flemish bond brick and part tile-hung family home offering almost 3,400sq. ft. of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged in an L-shaped configuration over three floors. The property presents a wealth of retained character features including leaded glazing, exposed strut, wall and ceiling beams and some original fireplaces.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a gabled porch and welcoming reception hall with wooden flooring, feature fireplace with wood burning stove and cloakroom. The large sitting room offers a cozy feel with its exposed brick open fireplace. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room provides a spectacular view over the rear of the garden; included is an electric navy blue four-oven AGA, modern integrated appliances, and walk-in larder.
Adjacent is a versatile light filled family room with underfloor heating and a neighbouring fitted utility room with second larder and door to a laundry room and access to the rear of the garage.

Stairs rise from the reception hall to the first floor on which much more of the original 17th century structure is exposed. The first floor features a large landing ideal as a home office, leading to four generous bedrooms. The principal suite includes window seating, a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with whirlpool bath. There are three further generous bedrooms, one with window seating and all with built-in storage, and a contemporary family shower room. The second floor is accessible by two staircases, one of which is made of a rare survival of original quarter-log baulks.

The vaulted second floor houses the property’s two remaining bedrooms and a central playroom.
