Glebe Cottage

Uncompromising privacy sitting in its own private estate of approximately 2 acres of mature grounds. This truly is a rare opportunity to acquire this elegant period home with endless possibilities. Follow the meandering driveway through the woods and you will come across Glebe Cottage, one of the area’s best kept secrets. Sitting on the edge of Fawkham Valley the property affords stunning views over the surrounding area. Although giving total privacy the property has private access giving a 5 minute walk to the thriving village of Longfield and mainline railway station. The main house extends to approx. 3,750 square feet, which has been thoughtfully extended and remodelled by the current owners creating this perfect country home. The imposing vaulted and galleried reception hallway immediately gives you a feel of what’s to come. The spacious triple aspect lounge with feature south facing bay window has stone open fireplace. The dining room is ideal for entertaining with bi fold doors opening onto hallway, ideal for grand parties. The farmhouse air conditioned kitchen/family room is the real hub of the home with bespoke oak fitted kitchen by Andrew Stanley including an Aga. The family area has wood burning stove and twin sets of bi fold doors onto the gardens and pool area. There is walk in larder, utility, and boot room. A practical study and cloakroom/wc complete the ground floor.

The sumptuous master suite has air conditioning and an ensuite bathroom fitted by C P Hart of London. Stairs lead to large dressing room. The second bedroom is triple aspect and has an ensuite and there are two further double bedrooms on the first floor and the family bathroom. Stairs from the landing lead to two further rooms, the larger of which has air conditioning and is currently laid out as an office but would make an ideal teenage annex.

The swimming pool house comprises spacious lounge area with log burner. Bi fold doors open to patio and swimming pool. The kitchen area with bar hatch leads to shower and changing area. There are three further rooms, two of which have ensuite shower rooms. Outside there is driveway parking for numerous vehicles with four garages, a large garden shed, a greenhouse and workshops in addition to tractor shed.
