3 bedroom apartment for sale

This delightful apartment is in the coach house in the grounds of the beautiful Dene Park estate designed by the renowned Victorian garden architect Edward Milner. It is approached through wrought iron gates that lead to the spacious communal grounds that includes sweeping lawns, magnificent trees, shrub beds, seating areas and a hard tennis court. The extensive drive provides access to the apartment's spacious frontage, with designated parking for two cars plus visitors parking.

There is an integral garage and an inset private front door surrounded by a stone architrave. This opens into an entrance hall with an understairs storage cupboard, access to the garage and the original staircase that leads up to the spacious galleried landing on the first floor. Here you can put a desk or have a seating area.

An elegant and spacious dual aspect sitting room includes a delightful Victorian style cast iron fireplace with attractive inset tiles and a coal effect gas fire, flanked by charming arched alcove shelving. While friends and family will enjoy eating in the separate dining room where they can also venture out through the French doors onto the balustraded balcony.

The modern kitchen includes painted wood shaker style units housing built in appliances. There is a cloakroom with a utility cupboard for laundry appliances, a family shower room and three bedrooms. These include a single that could also make a charming ‘snug' and two doubles with one having fitted cupboards and the principal with a wall of wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom.

As well as access to the delightful parkland there is a communal courtyard area that is ideal for barbecues and al fresco dining.

What the Owner says:
We have loved living here for the past seven years. It has been a special home in a wonderful location and we particularly like having the separate dining room with the balcony where we can really appreciate the quiet and peaceful surroundings. It has also been very enjoyable to be part of a friendly community but we feel it is time to move nearer to our daughter.
It is only about a mile to the popular and exclusive village of Shipbourne. As well as being in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the picturesque village centre is also in a Conservation and Special Landscape Area and is reputed to be one of the most sought after villages in Kent. There is a large village green looked after by Fairlawn Estates, an historic church and a charming village hall at the end of a Kentish Hall House as well as tennis courts, a good primary school, an excellent weekly farmer's market and the well-known Chaser Inn and restaurant. While, for golfing enthusiasts, the Poult Wood golf club is only half a mile from Dene Park.
It is just three miles to Tonbridge where you will find a variety of independent shops, hair and beauty salons, bars and restaurants with additional supermarkets and retail outlets on the outskirts of the town. There is a mainline station that is a junction for two railway lines so it is easy to take a train to places in Sussex, Kent and London while trains to London Bridge take about half an hour or 42 minutes to Charing Cross.
