Hunters are delighted to welcome to the market, this charming, former farm workers period three bedroom semi detached cottage, occupying a lovely plot in the rural village of Charing. Offering the next owners an opportunity to really add their stamp to make this their own home. The home has been in the same family for over 2 decades and is being brought to the market with no onward chain complications. The terminology 'blank canvass' is largely over used in estate agency, however. it rings true here. Boasting a real one off opportunity to create a home to your own taste, lies this unassuming period home, set back from the road, behind a 5 bar wooden gate, offering plenty of parking to the front, as well as a mature, established pretty green rear garden that you can see has been nurtured and cared for over the many years by the family.

Whilst offering scope for extensions and alterations subject to nessacery planning permissions, behind the charming white weather boarded frontage lies a home that you really can make you're own. From the off street parking for multiple vehicles, through the front door past the large picture window overlooking the mature front plot is a handy entrance hall, the perfect space to kick off your shoes after one of the many walks that are found on the doorstep of your new home. There's a handy downstairs utility room that serves it's purpose providing essential storage, easing the strain on all that comes with family life. Through the internal door, you'll find a welcoming space, with focal fireplace with charming wood beams, a note to the homes age. You'll find a slight level change from the homes open plan reception rooms, to the dining section found before the kitchen, whilst new fixtures and fittings could be required it's a great space and offers you the chance to put in the exact kitchen of your choice!

Lounge - 3.74 x 3.58 (12'3" x 11'8") -

Dinning Area - 3.83 x 2.95 (12'6" x 9'8") -

Kitchen - 2.92 x 2.01 (9'6" x 6'7") -

Bedroom 1 - 3.79 x 3.58 (12'5" x 11'8") -

Bedroom 2 - 2.92 x 3.58 (9'6" x 11'8") -

Bedroom 3 (Single) - 3.46 x 1.53 (11'4" x 5'0") -

Climb the stairs, where you will discover three bedrooms & family bathroom. The bedrooms offer space for double beds, with the smaller being the 3rd single bedroom, which can be utilised as a well proportioned study offering the chance to gaze out of the window to front to enjoy those wonderful views. There's a family bathroom across the hall, similarly to the kitchen, you'll find the chance to update to your taste whilst currently offering a wash hand basin, W/C and bath tub. The master lies at the front of the home, and offers a great view over the front plot as well as the charming brickwork & fireplace that this room enjoys along with built in storage, eliminating the need for further free standing furniture, the guest bedroom is an ample size double and allows you to gaze into the rear garden beyond.

Step out-side and enjoy the wonderful plot the property resides within, from the dinning section there is access out into the homes rear garden, a wonderful spot in our opinion, you can tell that this has been a much loved space and can see the care and attention that the garden has had over the years. There are many established bushes, tree's and shrubs that line the boundary, with a generous laid to lawn section. There's also a handy out-building, that although requiring some attention and TLC, could prove to be a hidden gem with the opportunity to restore to it's former glory as a garden shed/playhouse! It must be noted that part of the property has been listed since it's build, but over the years neighbouring properties have carefully refurbished their homes along the road, and the once listed-restriction has been lifted, allowing the chance to turn your hand and complete some of the works that the neighbouring properties have. It should be noted that the front elevation is single skinned, however, houses along the road have been adapted and updated over the recent years and you could certainly follow suit. The property does also require a new heating system and is on mains drainage.

The home is found within Charing Village, a semi rural country lane within the hamlet of Westwell Leacon, some 1.1 miles east of the larger village of Charing with its interesting mix of village shops, micropub, church, primary school and doctor's surgery. Transport links are well supported with a main line railway station in the village, providing access to London Victoria and Ashford International station which benefits from the High Speed train service to London St Pancras, with a journey time of just 37 minutes, whilst junction 9 of the M20 motorway is some 5 miles distant. The only way to fully appreciate the charm of this property is to make arrangements to view internally.
