BROAD ACRES
Tucked away on the Fawkham, Ash borders, Broad Acres is an exceptional and rarely available detached residence offering over 4,000 sq ft of versatile living accommodation, set within a private gated plot approaching two acres. Originally built in the 1950s and thoughtfully extended over time, this unique three-storey chalet-style home effortlessly blends spacious family living with incredible lifestyle flexibility.
A welcoming porch entrance leads into a spacious and bright entrance hall with a cloakroom/WC, setting the tone for the generous proportions found throughout. The heart of the home is the beautiful kitchen/breakfast/dining room, thoughtfully designed with a central island and finished to a high standard. Bi-fold doors open directly to the garden, creating a seamless flow for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining, while the space continues into a light-filled conservatory overlooking the grounds. Just off the kitchen there is a cosy snug to grab a coffee during the day with visiting guests and a separate drawing room or study which both provide further flexibility and elegance on the ground floor, while a main sitting room offers the perfect retreat for relaxed evenings.
The main house features four generously sized bedrooms arranged across the upper floors. To the first floor, the principal suite is a standout feature, offering a substantial bedroom space complemented by a stunning ensuite bathroom and a staircase leading to the second floor his and hers dressing rooms. Both the main bedroom and bedroom two enjoy access to a 43 ft terrace that spans the width of the rear of property, providing a peaceful setting to take in the views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. Bedroom two also benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, while bedroom three has the added advantage of an adjoining storage room which could be used for multi purposes. On the second floor, the fourth bedroom offers a quiet and private retreat and includes its own ensuite and lounge area, making it ideal for guests, older children, or live-in help.
Beyond the main accommodation, this home truly comes into its own with an outstanding collection of substantial outbuildings. An additional 1,046 sq ft annexe store outbuilding provides two beautifully appointed one bedroom annexes — ideal for extended family, visiting guests, or even as a potential rental opportunity. In addition, a remarkable 1,925 sq ft leisure suite includes a large gym, dance studio, bar and games area, as well as a wine cellar — a rare and luxurious addition offering endless possibilities for wellness, work, or entertainment.
The exterior grounds are equally impressive. A generous driveway provides extensive off-street parking and leads to garaging and storage. The formal gardens are wellmaintained, with sweeping lawns and mature planting giving way to two paddocks, one fully enclosed and perfect for dogs, all enjoying open rear views across rolling countryside — a tranquil backdrop that enhances the sense of seclusion and rural charm.

Seller Insight
The views and setting were what sold it to us instantly,’ say the owners of this beautifully refurbished 1950s chalet-style home. “You’ve got total privacy to the rear with countryside stretching as far as the eye can see, yet Ebbsfleet, the M25, Bluewater and excellent schools are all within easy reach.”
Set on a private, gated plot of two acres, the home combines rural tranquillity with modern living. “We’ve reimagined the house from top to bottom to suit how we live—everything has been upgraded to a high standard.” Arranged over three floors, the main house offers generous space for families and guests. “There are three bedrooms on the second floor, including a primary with en suite and connected his and hers dressing rooms, and a separate loft conversion housing a serene bedroom with lounge and en suite. You can even soak in the bath while gazing out over the fields— it’s our favourite place to unwind.”
The open-plan kitchen/diner and adjoining conservatory are at the heart of the home. “This space is perfect for family breakfasts or hosting friends,” the owners say. “We added air conditioning to key rooms, a pressure-boosted water system, and even a safe room—everything is designed for comfort and practicality.” The leisure wing, once a pool house, is now a standout feature. It’s a fully air-conditioned gym/dance studio, games room and temperature-controlled wine cellar and tasting room —probably the biggest domestic gym most people will see,” they note. Meanwhile, the converted stables now offer luxury guest accommodation with two en suite rooms, one featuring its own lounge and mini kitchen. “We’ve found that heated bathroom floors and high-spec finishes make it ideal for visitors or multi-generational living.”
Outdoors, the two-acre plot includes a large front driveway, formal rear gardens, and fully enclosed paddocks, “great for dogs,” say the owners. “Evenings on the terrace, watching the sun go down with a glass of wine, are just magical.”
“The space, comfort and flow of the house make it perfect year-round—whether hosting Christmas, summer barbecues in the outdoor kitchen, or simply enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning. We’ll really miss the peacefulness, the lifestyle, and even the gentle hum of Brands Hatch on race days— we get complimentary tickets!” say the owners. “This house has been an amazing sanctuary and place to create memories. It’s a home that truly offers it all.”*
