Description

High Chimneys is an elegant attached four bedroom property, which occupies a well screened, tucked away position on the outskirts of the village of Rolvenden, and only 3 miles to the west of the historic town of Tenterden, with its tree-lined high street and excellent range of shops and amenities.

Coming to the market for the first time in 50 years, this most attractive home enjoys lovely far reaching views to the east over its level lawns and internally retains a wealth of period features with well proportioned rooms, the majority with sash windows, high ceilings, deep skirtings, six panel doors with brass fittings and several marble fireplaces. The property now offers a wonderful opportunity for potential purchasers to update.

Accommodation comprises a covered porch leading to the reception hall, off which are two reception rooms including the lovely drawing room with full length sash windows to the east elevation, a light kitchen/breakfast room with a good range painted cupboards, marble work surfaces, double butler sink, a three oven AGA, halogen hob and electric oven. Multi paned doors open to the adjoining conservatory with French doors leading out to the pretty walled garden to the rear. Completing the ground floor is a boot room, a larder and a WC.

A turned staircase with lovely vistas from the split landing leads up to the first floor where there are a total of four good sized bedrooms, served by a shower room and a family bathroom.

High Chimneys is approached via a gravel drive bordered by evergreen hedging and opening out to an expansive area of lawn with stable and lovely distant views. There is parking for several cars, and a path leads via one covered side of the house to the very pretty walled garden to the rear with ancient mulberry tree, various shrubs and, at the top of the garden, access to a useful workshop and garden shed.
