Property description

A unique and exceptionally characterful period property offering over 2000 sq.ft of artistically appointed and particularly versatile accommodation spread over four floors.

The Cleves is situated in a sought-after location, nestled on the south face of the North Downs overlooking the Holmesdale valley. It was originally built in 1875 as the vicarage for the parish of Kemsing. It was named after Anne of Cleves, one of Henry viii's wives, whose family were gifted the parish of Kemsing by the King himself.

Sympathetically converted in 2010 into residential dwellings, the property forms part of a small and exclusive gated community. Each property has their own courtyard garden which leads onto an expanse of south-facing communal gardens, which have neatly laid lawn and an abundance of ancient trees, colourful flower beds and topiary hedging.

Internally the current owners have embraced the individuality of the property and enhanced every floor with their own creative flair for interior design, fine décor, bespoke joinery and natural materials. This all balances beautifully with the period features which include intricate cornicing, high ceilings and recently replaced bespoke sash windows.

The façade is an attractive combination of ragstone walls and mullion wooden windows. The handsome front door opens into an entrance hall with exceptionally beautiful ceilings and oak flooring. A charming sitting room sits at the rear which enjoys splendid views of the gardens and has been fitted with a bespoke bookcase across the full wall and surrounding the double internal doors.

On the ground floor there is also a guest bedroom with ensuite bathroom which can be accessed independently. From the central landing the elegant staircase runs both to the lower ground floor and to the first and second floors.

The kitchen and dining room are located on the lower ground floor. The quartz topped kitchen has an array of units integrating all main appliances including dishwasher, fridge freezer, washing machine, oven, microwave and gas hob. The space is further enhanced by high quality vinyl flooring and a large, Corian topped island.

The dining room is adjacent and there is rear access onto an enchanting courtyard which is flourishing in attractive shrubs and floral climbers. The kitchen/dining room space has the potential to be opened up further.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms, whilst on the second floor there is a 17ft double bedroom, with another shower room across a small hallway, where there are built in wardrobes.

Outside:

The Cleves is accessed via a wooded driveway which leads to the gated community. Number four has two parking spaces plus plenty of visitor parking.

The courtyard garden feels private and peaceful and has been laid with Indian sandstone patio tiles, which complement the abundance of greenery.

A little gate leads to almost an acre of wonderfully landscaped communal gardens which have delightful pockets of shade created by the ancient trees and mature shrubs.
