Description

Coming to the market for the first time in almost four decades, The Garden Cottage is a truly beautiful family home, full of character throughout with a number of period features including authentic tiled floor and open hearth fireplace.

The property is situated within the North Downs area of Kent 'The Garden of England' and offers an idyllic lifestyle, which the current owners have enjoyed for the almost 40 years.

This charming house comprises two floors. On the ground floor, an entrance hall, formal living room with open hearth fireplace, separate dining room, an open plan cottage style kitchen/dining room with Aga and bay window overlooking the rear gardens, traditional sun room and downstairs toilet/cloakroom. The second floor consists of a large principal bedroom with an en suite shower room, three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The property sits on a plot of just under an acre and benefits from extensive and beautifully-maintained gardens with established trees and shrubs providing a secluded setting. A patio to the rear is perfect for summer BBQs and designed to take advantage of the views available. An open fronted car barn (known as the Wagon Store) provides parking for multiple vehicles. To the side of the house is a well-established fruit orchard planted 30 years ago by the current owners offering a real taste of the Garden of England. In additional to the ample storage space around the property, there is also a lovely large summer house and shed as well as a home office in the gardens.

The property may have potential to further extend as well as an exciting development opportunity for the large barn known as The Wagon Store STPP.
