Brock House, Charing – Exceptional Country Home Set in ~1.5 Acres

Brock House is a distinctive and characterful detached home, originally built in 1961 as a Colt House with a tiled roof, now beautifully modernised throughout. Set within approximately 1.5 acres of landscaped gardens, it offers spacious and versatile accommodation ideal for family living and entertaining.

Accessed via a private gated driveway, the property opens onto a large parking and turning area for multiple vehicles, creating an immediate sense of privacy and arrival.

Ground Floor

A generous entrance porch leads into a welcoming hallway with cloakroom and under-stairs storage. The main living room is a standout feature, centred around a woodburning stove and flooded with natural light via full-width bi-fold doors opening onto the garden.

A separate dining room with dual aspect and French doors connects seamlessly to the well-appointed kitchen, which includes modern units, integrated appliances (fridge freezer, dishwasher, Neff induction hob and twin ovens), ample storage, and garden access.

A utility room leads to a highly versatile additional reception space with patio doors and an ensuite wet room—ideal as a fifth bedroom, guest suite, or self-contained annex.

The grounds are a key highlight, with terraced landscaping, varied planting, and peaceful seating areas. A cedar-clad garden cabin provides an ideal home office with power and lighting.

A unique upper-level “beach-style” garden adds charm, while a superb garden room currently used as a gym includes a heated swimming pool with resistance system and full-width sliding doors for indoor-outdoor living.

Further features include a large outbuilding with twin stables and storage, leading to a paddock with a former sand school. There is also lapsed planning permission for a detached two-bedroom annex, offering future potential (subject to consents).
