Watery Lane, Kemsing

Built in 1759, Ivy Cottage is a meticulously maintained turnkey home that blends 18th-century character with sophisticated 21st-century amenities. The property includes a versatile detached annexe, a wellness cabin with sauna and hot tub, and double glazing throughout, all set along a scenic rural lane with views over open countryside. The ground floor is accessed via a porch leading into a central hallway with electric underfloor heating. The sitting room is rich in character, centred around a substantial brick-lined fireplace with a wood-burning stove. An open timber-framed wall connects this space to the dining room/office, creating a natural sense of flow. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with country-style shaker units, wooden work surfaces, a butler sink and a range cooker. Modern infrastructure has been thoughtfully integrated throughout, including double glazing and app-controlled Hive heating. The ground floor is completed by a well-appointed family bathroom featuring underfloor heating, a freestanding roll-top bath and a separate shower. On the first floor, the landing leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and elevated views across neighbouring fields and hills.
