Hatmill Lane, Brenchley, Tonbridge, Kent

Braufritz is a premier German manufacturer of high end, bespoke, eco-friendly modular homes, which also operates in the UK. Their houses are all individual and lean towards healthy living, looking to utilise natural, non-toxic materials, earning recognition for ecological and sustainable construction. This particular house has solar photo voltaic panels and the heating system is fuelled by wood pellets. It was built in around 2009 to a high specification and presents very well throughout today.

The overall impression is of a large family house, with spacious rooms and generous connecting spaces, which benefits from an abundance of natural light through the large windows and doors, nicely linking the internal accommodation with the mature ’park like’ surroundings.

Features include underfloor heating, automated external blinds to the southern elevation, programmable lighting, CAT wiring and ceiling speakers for Hi Fi, as well as a stylish modern kitchen and individually designed, well appointed bathrooms. The kitchen forms part of a very large, open-plan family space, featuring a double height seating area, complete with a glazed wood burning fireplace as a winter focal point. The kitchen features units along two walls, centred around a very large island and breakfast bar, incorporating appliances by Siemens.
There are tiled and wood flooring in all the reception areas and bathrooms and carpeting to the bedrooms.

The gated plot surrounds the house, with gardens, lawn and trees, including oaks, providing a country like outlook to the front and back, with a very secluded setting. Extensive outside terracing and balconies integrate well with the house, to provide a variety of entertaining areas, including a fabulous pool terrace out from the family room, which overlooks the tennis court.
