Glebe House is a substantial detached property
offering more than 3,000 square feet of
beautifully presented accommodation arranged
over two floors. The accommodation is light
and airy throughout, with French doors opening
from all the reception rooms onto the rear
garden, which faces south and looks out across
the stunning Kent Downs Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty. There is a splendid living room/games room and conservatory, measuring 30ft in total and with wooden flooring, a fireplace and a large ceiling lantern skylight as well as panoramic windows overlooking the garden. There is also a useful study, a comfortable snug, a formal dining room and a light and spacious open-plan kitchen and sitting area with wooden floors and underfloor
heating. There are six bedrooms on the first floor, four of which are generous doubles with south-facing windows overlooking the rear garden and the lovely views of the countryside beyond. The luxury principal bedroom has its own dressing room, an en-suite bathroom and a sunny balcony with beautiful far-reaching views. Three further bedrooms each have fitted storage. The first floor also has the family bathroom with its separate shower unit.

The property benefits from planning permission to complete current renovations by remodelling front elevations in line with rear elevations and increasing internal floor space. There is also potential to adapt the plans to increase floor space even further based on 2015 changes in planning rules, subject to additional planning approval.
