Growing numbers of celebrities appear to be influencing prospective homebuyers to trade in their urban lifestyles for idyllic rural life, by purchasing luxury rural residences. A rise in flexible working has reduced the need for commutes and has led to city dwellers relocating, creating a higher demand for countryside homes.
Offering the very best of luxurious living in the quaint Kent countryside, Blackwood House by Millwood Designer Homes in Brenchley is a detached, five-bedroom family home, where London leavers have the opportunity to secure the very last property available at the exclusive Tibbs Court Farm development.
Occupying a scenic position backing onto orchard land, Tibbs Court Farm is an enchanting hamlet of properties just a short walk from the medieval village of Brenchley, and just six miles from the larger town of Tunbridge Wells. As the last remaining property on the popular development of luxe farmstead homes, Blackwood House offers the epitome of rural living, and is an appealing option for families looking to upsize to a detached five-bedroom property that is idyllic but not isolated.
Philip Brown, Sales and Marketing Director at Millwood Designer Homes, comments: “Tibbs Court Farm is a traditional country-style development offering prospective buyers all the convenience and practicality of modern urban living, with an elite country lifestyle. With ample space inside and out, Blackwood House is perfect for buyers looking to leave the city and embark on a more rural pace of life without being isolated, with the property’s copious amounts of indoor space and private landscaped garden both ideal for entertaining friends and family. Blackwood House ticks all the boxes in providing the ultimate country home, and – as the only remaining property at Tibbs Court Farm – interested parties should act fast to register their interest.”
Upon entry to Blackwood House, residents are welcomed by a generous hallway and wide staircase. The open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room includes a utility room and bi fold doors that lead out onto the impressive rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor cabinets with stone worktops and fully integrated appliances including an induction hob, electric oven, full height fridge/freezer, dishwasher, wine cooler and hot tap.
Each room in Blackwood House is finished to the highest standard. Situated to the right of the kitchen is a drawing room with traditional Inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove. More quality finishes include full glazed doors to the kitchen/breakfast room and a separate dining room. Upstairs there are three of them with en suites plus a family bathroom. In the master bedroom, expansive windows bathe the room in natural lighting and provide a view of the north-west facing landscaped garden with its feature planting. The spacious nature of these rooms allows for flexibility for prospective buyers to repurpose the space into a home office or gym as required.
Blackwood House also enjoys a large double garage with electronically operated doors and the provisions for an electric car charger.
The picturesque village of Brenchley is a five minute drive from Tibbs Court Farm, and offers a small selection of everyday amenities, including a butcher, post office, café, doctors surgery and dentist as well as the local country pub, The Halfway House. For all other necessities, the vibrant town of Tunbridge Wells is a 20-minute drive away and offers a selection of well-known high street retailers, boutique shops, bars, restaurants and coffee shops, in addition to Sainsbury’s, Asda and Tesco supermarkets, and a Waitrose in Paddock Wood.
