4 bedroom detached house for sale

GUIDE PRICE £1,250,000 - £1,350,000.
Summeryards occupies a truly idyllic position on Cotmans Ash Lane, nestled within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and enjoying a private plot extending to just over 4.6 acres of gardens and woodland. Approached via a discreet entrance, the property is surrounded by nature and offers far-reaching, unspoiled views of the valley that capture the very essence of countryside living.

The detached cottage currently provides well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. A welcoming kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home, leading into an impressive L-shaped reception room with doors framing the garden. Upstairs are four bedrooms, complemented by a family bathroom and an additional WC, ideal for a growing family or those seeking a peaceful retreat.

Planning permission has been granted to extend and remodel the house, with CGI imagery available to illustrate the potential for a striking transformation. This allows buyers the rare opportunity to create a bespoke residence within an exceptional setting, whether enhancing the existing home or taking advantage of the generous plot to realise a completely new vision.

Outside, Summeryards excels. Expansive lawns give way to woodland walks, with the plot having a centre piece of a Koi pond providing a tranquil focal point from the house. For entertaining, the garden is arranged with a swimming pool, a wood-fired hot tub and an Asado Argentinian-style barbecue with bar area, a perfect space for gathering family and friends. A detached studio with adjoining single garage offers flexibility for those working from home or seeking creative space, while a generous sized outbuilding (previously a double garage) provides further storage. Solar panels are already installed, contributing to the home’s sustainability and efficiency.

Summeryards represents a rare chance to secure a substantial plot in one of Kent’s most picturesque settings. With existing character, modern comforts, and planning permission in place, it offers a unique blend of lifestyle and potential, promising a home as special as its surroundings.
