A great opportunity for the restoration of this four bedroom detached period property.

Description

Cordwainers was the original saddle and leather manufacturers with the existing house dating from the 19th century with earlier origins. The property has been prepared for complete restoration and is situated in an ideal location at the heart of the village but away from passing traffic and enjoys outstanding views across the meadow to the church and Archbishops Palace.

The accommodation comprises: an entrance hall with stairs leading to the first floor and steps up to what is likely to become the kitchen/dining area with a delightful double aspect and French doors leading to the courtyard garden. A stud wall divides what is likely to become the utility room.

The sitting room could be beautiful, with windows overlooking the courtyard and featuring a fireplace with fitted cupboards and shelving to the recess. Also located on the ground floor is a flexible reception room which has been utilised as bedroom four with an adjoining shower room.

The first floor is currently configured as four rooms including a sizeable landing which could easily accommodate a library area, the two main bedrooms both enjoy a dual aspect. This floor could potentially incorporate three bedrooms and a bathroom but it could also be arranged to accommodate individual buyers requirements.

The annexe can be accessed externally from the courtyard or internally via the sitting room (if using as one dwelling this is the access you would use.) Currently it comprises a first floor studio/ bedroom with dual aspect, kitchenette and doors opening to the roof terrace, enjoying beautiful views across the meadow.

Cordwainers sits at the end of its own long private drive where it enjoys privacy and seclusion and features a stunning brick courtyard area providing off road parking. The property is located just off the high street and historic market square which has links to Henry VIII. Charing's greatest historical asset is The Archbishop's Palace, in the grounds of which stands a private residence, Palace Farm, just off the Market Place.
