The cellar has also been maintained and is a workable space for storage.

This room leads through to the astounding living room which runs the entire depth of the house and is beautifully lit by the four Edwardian windows and the triple aspect. With the bay window to the front and double doors to the back the sun shines right the way through the house. An authentic original fireplace proves to be the focal point in this room and the hard wood flooring compliments this perfectly.
Also accessed via the entrance hall is the study - ideal for those that require a work from home space - the downstairs cloakroom and a convenient boot room which is absolutely perfect for kicking off the muddy boots after a lovely afternoon walk in the countryside.
The kitchen/dining room is situated at the back of the property and was originally two separate rooms but the current owners made the wise decision to open this room right up into a stunning open plan kitchen/dining room. This room has a luxury fitted kitchen in stylish neutral tones with plenty of wall and base units for storage. Integrated appliances include; a Bosch five burner gas hob with an extractor fitted above, an eyelevel double oven and microwave, a dishwasher and a fridge freezer.

On the opposite side of the room is access through to the striking en-suite bathroom which has a separate shower cubicle and a freestanding roll top bath. Also to this floor are three other double bedrooms, two of which are double aspect with one of these rooms having another ornate fireplace and the other with a vanity unit and sink. There is another bathroom, a separate cloakroom and an airing cupboard.
To the top floor is the gorgeous loft conversion, ideal for an older child that enjoys a bit of separate space. This room comes with those stunning far reaching views through any of the six windows and has plenty of storage that has been built into the eaves.

Location: Charing is a small but lively village in the Ashford District of Kent, situated at the foot of the North Downs. The village is sited on the Pilgrims' Way from London to Canterbury and is still surrounded by farmland, but the good transport links have also led to the area becoming a popular commuter village. Charing station has connecting services to London St Pancras via Ashford International in an hour or London Victoria station in approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. The village has a strong community life and the locals organise regular fairs, community and charity events. On the High Street and surrounding streets you will find a wide variety of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and services. Charing surgery and chemist are less than 0.1 miles from the property and Charing Church of England Primary School is just over half a mile away. Charing's most famous building is the Archbishop's Palace, which lies by the church and was an ancient possession of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The market town of Ashford is just a short drive away where there are excellent shopping opportunities with the McArthur Glen designer outlet. Supermarkets include a Waitrose and a large Sainsbury's.
