Coldharbour Lane sits in one of Hildenborough’s oldest settled areas, with homes recorded here since the early 1800s. Period cottages and Victorian houses still line the lane, reflecting its rural origins before the railway arrived in 1868.
The Barley House, a mock-Tudor four-bedroom detached home, echoes this historic charm with its applied half-timbered exterior. Inside, the character continues with an open vaulted ceiling, exposed timber trusses, decorative framing, and an inglenook fireplace.
On entering the property, you are welcomed into a generous hallway featuring classic herringbone parquet flooring, double-leaf internal doors, a downstairs WC and direct access to the rear garden. The impressive living room enjoys a grand open-vaulted ceiling, a striking feature fireplace, and large Tudor-style doors opening to the garden, along with internal access to the garage. The herringbone flooring continues into the dining room, offering an elegant setting for entertaining with its own decorative fireplace.
A standout feature of the home is the triple-aspect open-plan kitchen and dining room, flooded with natural light through full-height glazed doors overlooking the garden. The vaulted ceiling with exposed timber trusses creates an exceptional sense of space, while terracotta floor tiles complement the bespoke solid-wood cabinetry, central island with inset sink, and extensive worktop areas. Multiple doors open directly onto the terrace, making this an ideal space for family living and entertaining.
Downstairs also includes a well-proportioned bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom, as well as a number of useful storage cupboards throughout.
Upstairs offers two double bedrooms with built-in storage, together with a self-contained principal bedroom featuring distinctive mock-Tudor styling. Decorative exposed beams, sloped ceilings and a dormer window add character and charm, creating a warm and inviting space.
The rear garden is a spacious and beautifully private setting, with a large lawn bordered by mature trees and established shrubs. A wide wraparound terrace provides generous areas for outdoor dining and relaxation, with several sets of doors connecting seamlessly to the main living areas. Additional external storage is also available via the large shed.
To the front, the property benefits from off-road parking for multiple vehicles, a mature landscaped garden, and access to both the garage and a side passage leading to the rear garden.
