Located in the centre of this popular village within easy walking distance of the local stores, school and bus stop.
Situation
Old Wheelwrights is located in The Street which is in the centre of the historic village of Pluckley.
Pluckley has two well regarded pub/restaurants, a village shop/Post office, butchers’ shop, and primary school. There is a pretty parish church as well as recreational amenities. On the edge of the village there is a mainline railway station with connections to both Ashford International and London stations. From Ashford, there are 37-minute journey times to London St Pancras with trains every half an hour via the HS1 service.
The thriving Market Town of Ashford is about 7 miles to the southeast and includes access to the M20 motorway at Junction 9 as well as excellent shopping and recreational amenities.
The wider area is well served by a choice of schools both in the state and independent sectors, including grammar schools for boys and girls at Ashford.
Old Wheelwrights
This is a wonderful unlisted period property which was originally a yard for making the old carriage wheels. The property was converted in the early 1970’s and the current owner has lived here since 1999. The property has been well maintained over the years and offers flexible and versatile accommodation. Of note is the particularly stunning vaulted ceiling in the open plan kitchen/dining room adding a blend of French chic to the property. To the front there is an entrance porch which then leads you into the kitchen/dining/sitting room. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units with worksurfaces over, integrated oven with grill, gas hob, space for a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. There is a useful pantry cupboard, shelved storage unit and plenty of space for a dining table and chairs. This flows into the generous sitting room area with feature fireplace, a wood burning stove and two sets of french doors, one opening onto the garden and the other into the conservatory/garden room. This is a fabulous extra reception room overlooking the beautiful garden. An inner hall with feature glass cabinet takes you through to the 3 bedrooms, all of which are generous doubles and with fitted wardrobes. One has an interconnecting door into the modern shower/wet room and conservatory/garden room. There is a separate family bathroom, two storage rooms and a good size utility with integral door into the large garage. There is plenty of potential to create a fourth bedroom and/or annexe facility.
Over the years the vendor has replaced the hot water cylinder, the electric/meters and the boiler has been overhauled.
Early viewing is highly recommended to not miss out on this unique property.
