If you’re looking for a home that will really impress your guests - and you’ve got £4.25m to spare - this detached country house could be perfect for you.
The striking seven-bedroom home, nestled in the village of Wrotham, near Sevenoaks, is the ultimate in luxury living.
Perhaps one of its most unique and exciting features is the large underground swimming pool.
Part of the home’s leisure suite, which also includes a lounge area, steam room, shower and plant room, the large, fully-tiled swimming pool is hidden below the rest of the home.
From the outside, the only giveaway that there is even a pool at all is its glass-panelled roof, planted in the garden’s lawn, which allows a stream of natural light to beam in as you swim.
And if this extraordinary feature isn’t enough to make this home stand out, the rest of the country estate is sure to win you over.
With seven bedrooms, including two en-suite rooms, a spacious kitchen and breakfast room with a four-oven gas-fired Aga, and five bathrooms with fittings from Villeroy and Boch, this beautiful home has been filled with first-rate designs and appliances.
However, the house has managed to maintain much of its rich history.
With origins dating back to medieval times, this incredible Grade II listed site has been used in the past by Archbishops of Canterbury as a stopping point on their journey to and from Canterbury.
Some of the historical features remaining at the property include the windows, a number of which date back to the 16th century, the medieval oak floor boards, exposed timbers and oak latched doors.
The main house isn’t the only attraction at the grounds. A visit to the cottage, where you’ll find an inviting fireplace, fitted kitchen and two bedrooms, and the summer house, which has bathroom facilities and is a great spot for barbecues and summer evenings, is a must.
As you check out these additional outbuildings, you’ll stroll through six acres of picturesque grounds and paddocks, including vast lawns, blossoming fruit trees, colourful flowers and shrubs, a greenhouse and a grand driveway with a six-bay garage.
If you step a little further afield, you’ll find yourself in the quiet village of Wrotham or, by car, you can reach the nearby towns of Sevenoaks and Tonbridge with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to choose from.
Enjoy the perfect blend of modern luxury and historic charm at this magnificent country home.
