THE HOUSE

Welcome to an incredible 4-bedroom detached family home situated in a completely secluded setting, yet still only moments from Harrietsham’s local amenities. Built in 2002, the owners have enjoyed creating and evolving their dream home over the last 20 years. If you’re looking for space to grow, a workshop, an outbuilding for a home business venture, or would like to dip your toe into letting a holiday annexe, this house could be just for you! 

Located on a quiet lane in Harrietsham, just a short distance from the green, you can find the beautiful property, Giddyhorn. Originally the name for the whole ½ acre plot, Giddyhorn was disregarded when bought by the owner’s Father just after WW2 and resurrected when the house was built. Designed by a local architect, traditional build methods and scope for future flexibility were imperative. Upon entering this completely versatile home, you are immediately welcomed by a lovely large hallway. Approximately 3,085 sqft in size, there is an abundance of opportunity to truly make this house your own. Moving into the spacious open-plan kitchen diner with a separate seating area, it is the perfect space for entertaining the whole family. Beautiful modern cabinetry is accentuated by a gorgeous wooden worktop and is complete with a central island. Bi-folding doors bring the outside in and lead out onto the decking with views across the garden. A wonderful double-aspect lounge with French doors and a log burner for the colder months creates a lovely relaxing environment after a long day. The ground floor is complete with a second reception room which could be used as an office or snug, a substantial utility room with access to the garden and a downstairs cloakroom. 

On the first floor, you can find four good-size double bedrooms, one with an ensuite, a family bathroom and a self-contained apartment. Built with separate access via a dedicated lobby in the garage, the apartment offers a lounge, dining area, kitchen, utility room and a separate bathroom.

THE GARDEN

Outside, the decking wraps around the rear of the property, providing the perfect area for soaking up the beautiful green landscape.  The extensive garden enjoys areas of wild flowering, a pond, a vegetable patch, a small orchard with several fruit trees, a summer house and a workshop. 

THE AMENITIES

The property has a main supply of electricity and water and is connected to mains drainage. The ground floor has zoned under-floor heating whilst upstairs benefits from radiators and the bathrooms have electric towel rails, all powered by an oil-fired boiler. The house is very economical to run and with solar panels installed on the workshop’s roof, it is no surprise Giddyhorn obtains an EPC rating of C. Superfast broadband connection is available and there is limited mobile voice and data signal across most networks indoors and there is likely signal outdoors. 

THE LOCATION

Centrally located to enjoy a semi-rural lifestyle but still benefit from lots of local amenities, this house is perfect for the best of both worlds. There is a doctor’s surgery, supermarket, newsagents, cricket club and village green all within walking distance. A local primary school rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Harrietsham train station is 1.1 miles away, with connections to London and Ashford, the M20 motorway is 4.1 miles away.
