If you're house hunting at the moment (and can afford it), this impressive Georgian-style country property, sitting within its own carefully manicured gardens and grounds, is on the market for £5.5m.

Hookwood Farm at Shipbourne, which is up for sale with Jackson-Stops' Sevenoaks branch, is approached by a gravel drive leading to a stone pillared entrance and wrought iron gates.

Built by its present owners and completed in 2013, it comes complete with a handmade kitchen and elegant marble fireplaces and flooring.

In the kitchen/breakfast room, which has French doors to the east terrace, you'll find an island unit and appliances including two Agas - one electric one gas - as well as two fridges and dishwashers, a Miele coffee machine and a wine fridge.

It has seven generously-proportioned bedrooms, six bathrooms and four reception rooms, and, if you were thinking of working from home, there's two broadband lines, five landlines and 16 telephones.

Outside, there is a barn, stables and, if you were worried something was missing - even a chicken run with coop.

There is a kitchen garden, along with parkland grounds and a lake with an island and waterfall feeding into a smaller pond, while planting includes magnolias and more than 200 varieties of rhododendrons.
