Hosey Rigge House, Westerham

Set in the highly desirable and historic village of Westerham, this exceptional detached home offers a perfect blend of classic charm and modern sophistication. Situated close to protected National Trust countryside, the property occupies a generous plot of just under an acre, with beautifully landscaped gardens ensuring privacy and tranquility.
Dating back to the 1930s, this fine home has been meticulously refurbished by the current owners, retaining period features while incorporating modern comforts. The property spans over 4,800 square feet, with elegant accommodation arranged across two floors. External elevations of white painted render, a pitched tiled roof, and leaded light windows with external shutters all contribute to the home’s timeless appeal.
Inside, the layout is both gracious and practical, with formal and informal living spaces. The welcoming reception hall flows seamlessly into the dining room and spacious kitchen/breakfast room, which features granite and wooden work surfaces, integrated Bosch and AEG appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The heart of the home, however, is the dual aspect sitting room with a large bay window, bespoke shelving, and a gas fire. The family room, originally a grand drawing room, enjoys a triple aspect and opens onto the garden room, where a spiral wine cellar adds an extra touch of luxury.
The first floor houses five/six bedrooms, including a principal suite with a large bedroom, fitted dressing room, and ensuite bathroom. There are four bath/shower rooms, three of which are ensuite, offering ample space and privacy for the whole family.
