If you dream of living the rural idyll in the peace and quiet of the Kent countryside adjacent to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near the end of the North Downs, then The this property should be top of your list. It is located at the top of sprawling grounds of 5.23 acres including a stunning three acre lake surrounded by trees and shrubs. The owner purchased the property about twelve years ago and, at the time, it was in a derelict state and stripped back to bare brick so, internally, everything is less than twelve years old and includes all the 'mod cons' associated with an upmarket 21st century property. The house has an attractive frontage with a pitched roof porch, chimney stack and unusual pointed arched windows and oak front. The pointed arch design is also reflected in the pointed archways found throughout the property including in the spacious reception hall that has open archways to the 'snug' area, the inner hallway and cloakroom as well as to the lounge and the very useful study. This has a wall of shelving and fitted desk units and a wide square arch to the vast dining room where you could happily entertain more than a dozen guests. The dining room includes two French doors to the balustraded upper decked terrace where you can sit and admire the views as well as direct access to the kitchen. This has a range cooker and a raft of attractive Shaker style units housing a dishwasher while the walk-in pantry includes a fridge freezer. On the other side of the house is the large, triple aspect lounge that spans the depth of the property. It includes a charming brick fireplace with a log burner and has French doors to the upper terrace. On the first floor there is a spacious galleried landing with large airing cupboard, an archway to a quiet reading/study area and the contemporary family bathroom as well as to four bedrooms. These include a single and double as well as a guest double with an en suite shower room and wide windows providing excellent views and the impressive, triple aspect main suite. This has an en suite bathroom and a large dressing room with fitted cupboards that also has a door to the landing so could become an additional bedroom if required.What the Owner says:I bought this house twelve years ago and it has been a labour of love to restore it and create a unique home but feel it is now time to downsize. I love the quiet and beauty of the countryside but, at the same time, I can be in Canterbury in just over 15 minutes and Ashford in under 20 minutes for the high speed train that can whisk me to London in 36 minutes so, door to door, I can be in central London in under an hour.

This five-bedroom detached house of over 4,000 sq ft lies in Ightham, Kent, surrounded by over half an acre of meadowed grounds. Built in the 1980s, it was remodelled and extended by the current owners, who have ensured strong connections between indoors and out. Although Ightham has a rural, secluded feel and is within the Kent Downs AONB, nearby Borough Green Station runs services to London Victoria in under 50 minutes, while Sevenoaks Station, a 13-minute drive away, connects to London Bridge in just 23 minutes. The Tour Set behind a set of automatic gates and a sweeping driveway, the house's profile is shaped by a complementary pairing of black composite cladding and red brick. A solid black door is beneath a storm porch that opens to an internal hall laid with five-finger parquet flooring. From here, a circling staircase descends to the living room, lending the space a sunken 'conversation pit' feel. A double-height, mono-pitch ceiling creates an airy yet cosy feel. At the far end, glazed doors open to a flagstone patio - great for summertime hosting, although a gas fire inside ensures year-round functionality. A wide opening off the hallway leads into the dining room, laid with grey stone tiles and with white walls and a second gas fire. The dialogue between the internal plan and the outdoors is maintained by more sliding doors that open to the garden. The kitchen beyond has been conceived with day-to-day needs in mind. White cabinetry takes a U-shape, snaking around the room's generous proportions, and is topped with a grey stone countertop; integrated appliances include a black Miele induction hob, a wine cooler, twin Neff ovens and a steel sink. A useful island adds counter space and subtly demarcates the room. Opposite, the current owners have arranged more casual dining and sitting areas, although the room's versatility lends itself to various configurations. An oriel picture window with a window seat looks over the lawn outside and works with roof lights to fill the space with light. Above, a steel beam painted a fluorescent yellow exemplifies the playfully practical approach to decoration across the plan. A well-considered utility room and study complete the ground-floor plan. In the latter, floor-to-ceiling windows, a built-in desk and open bookshelves make for a comfortable working-from-home environment. Back towards the entrance of the house is a staircase that ascends to a small landing with two double bedrooms opposite one another. In the front room, double-aspect windows overlook neighbouring woodland, while the rear room has a glazed door opening to a patio. The latter also has useful built-in wardrobes. An immaculate bathroom between the bedrooms is finished with fluted windows, grey rubber flooring, antique brass taps and metro tiles and has a free-standing bath and a walk-in shower. Upstairs are three further double bedrooms, all with green outlooks. The main bedroom has wide black-framed sliding doors that open to a slender terrace with views towards the bucolic North Downs. Plenty of storage is concealed behind muted grey shaker-style pocket doors and there is an en suite with a walk-in shower. One of the two further bedrooms has a bank of built-in wardrobes. Both are served by a generous bathroom with a walk-in shower. A basement, accessed from an internal lobby, has been wonderfully adapted for a range of functions. Arranged with lounge seating, it offers a further reception area and has a separate office or, as it's currently used, a crafting area, complete with a built-in L-shaped desk. Outdoor Space Bates Hill has a generous and varied provision of outdoor space. Extensive grounds of around half an acre encompass a large double garage with an EV charging point and a hot/tub training pool. A thoughtful approach to planting is immediately apparent; along the long driveway are mature trees, including oak, hawthorn and ivy, as well as planted beds that teem with grasses and ferns. A planted bed in front of the ground-floor bedroom has red-leaved grass, verbena, camelia, ferns and grasses. The garden connects to the indoors via sliding doors. It is divided between areas of lawn and terraces, including a steel-framed pergola from the dining room and a flagstone-laid patio area currently arranged with lounge seating beneath a steel-framed sunshade. A family of rabbits call this spot home too, and can often be seen frolicking in the garden. A second part of the garden abuts the church's woodland; predominantly lawn, it also has a lovely seating area thoughtfully placed beneath a sloping roof section next to the living room. A glass 'igloo' in the main garden is a wonderful spot to enjoy the warmth on a summer's day. The Area Ightham is a pretty village in the Kent Downs Area of Natural Beauty, around four miles east of Sevenoaks and six miles north of Tonbridge. Surrounded by rolling Kentish hills, Ightham is perhaps best known for Ightam Mote, a 14th-century moated manor house set amid extensive and landscaped gardens. The village has a handy shop, an art gallery - Pratt Contemporary - and Greenacres garden centre. A cosy timber-framed local, George and Dragon, is in the heart of Ightham; there is also a village hall that hosts events throughout the year. Sevenoaks can be reached in around 14 minutes by car. At one end of the town is the beautiful Knole Park, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest with 43 acres of grounds, a country house and two different types of deer. The town itself has a range of shops, restaurants and coffee shops, including Basil and Life on High.

The New Beacon School and Walthamstow Preparatory School are also nearby. Ightham sits around 28 miles south-east of London; as a result, connections into the city are quick and frequent. Borough Green Station is just over a mile away and runs services to London Charing Cross, London Bridge and London Blackfriars; from Sevenoaks Station, a 13-minute drive away, services arrive at London Bridge in 23 minutes, with services also connecting to Charing Cross and Cannon Street.
