5 Scriventon House Built in the early twentieth century, Scriventon House is an attractive Edwardian property which has been completely refurbished by the current owners over the last 7 years. The property is immaculately presented throughout and is situated in a quiet and elevated position, looking towards the pretty village of Speldhurst. The property is approached by an impressive tree and rhododendron lined avenue which sweeps past the garage block and concludes at a large parking and turning area in front of the house. The drive then continues to a secondary access. The beautifully presented accommodation is well laid out on the ground floor with a series of excellent reception rooms, all are accessed from the large and light entrance hall. Of particular note are the drawing room, sitting room and dining room, as well as the magnificent 38 ft kitchen/breakfast room. To the first floor is a superb master bedroom suite with dressing room and a spacious en suite bathroom. There are 2 further suites, 2 bedrooms and a family bathroom.
