Chain free and presented to a particularly high standard, a most impressive Grade II listed, two bedroom, period, end terrace cottage. Arranged over three storeys and boasting excellent bedroom sizes, the property's period features have been retained and enhanced to include good areas of exposed wood work plus the tasteful use of 'Farrow & Ball' paints. Once home to Joseph Ballard, a Kent clock and watch maker in the late 1700s, the cottage has an inglenook fireplace to the lounge with inset cast iron wood burner and a contemporary fitted kitchen with a wood block surface. A glance at the attached photographs and floorplan, will give an indication as to the quality of this proposition and indeed the high standards of maintenance and presentation by the current owner. Externally, the property has a pleasant featherboard fenced rear garden set principally to lawn with good areas of both raised decking and paved areas affording space for table, chairs and entertaining as well as an impressive detached garden room of a high standard of construction offering a variety of uses including home office, home gym or indeed further comfortable living space.
