Vine House, Horsmonden, Kent
£1,495,000
A beautiful four bedroom, four bathroom bespoke oak framed home on the edge of the pretty village of Horsmonden, Kent.
Beautifully crafted, newly built Border Oak home
Combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary living, this detached home is set behind a south-west facing garden and comes with a three-bay garage and car port, store above, and generous driveway parking.
Exposed oak framing and natural materials sit alongside the technologies you’d expect of a 21st century home – an air source heat pump, solar panels, underfloor heating, triple glazing and an EV charger – so the character of the frame is matched by a genuinely low-energy way of living. Wide expanses of glass draw natural light through the rooms, while carefully judged proportions give the whole house a quiet, considered feel: warm, but never fussy.
At the heart of the house is an open plan kitchen, breakfast and family room – bespoke cabinetry, a useful pantry and a substantial central island, with extensive triple glazing bringing in the light. A garden room adjoins, with French doors opening directly onto the south-west facing terrace. Exposed oak beams run throughout the living spaces, complemented by a separate sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, and double doors leading through to a triple aspect study. A generous utility and boot room, again with bespoke cabinetry, is served by an adjoining shower room and WC.
Upstairs, a wide galleried landing with a charming window seat and storage area gives on to four well-proportioned bedrooms. Two have en-suite facilities and vaulted ceilings that add real character to the space, while the remaining two are well served by a family bathroom with roll-top bath and a large shower cubicle.
Vine House sits on a generous plot, with a landscaped sunny garden – paved terracing spans the rear of the house, giving way to a wide swathe of lawn bordered by fencing and countryside hedgerow. To the front, a large gravel driveway provides parking for three to four vehicles alongside an EV charging point, and a three-bay garage and car port with a storage room above, which offers potential to convert into an office or bedroom.
