This delightful period cottage boasts an abundance of Victorian features - from the original wooden floorboards; tiled kitchen floor; original internal doors; feature fireplaces and sash windows throughout almost every room. On entry via the conservatory door, from either the rear parking or back gate, you are greeted with a stunning elevated view of the farmer's field in front of the property. Leading through this triple-aspect room is a generous lounge with a working logburner fireplace and fitted cupboards on either side. Through here loops round to the kitchen/diner with a country-style kitchen with feature original exposed brick wall and benefitting from feature fireplace, and a small understairs cupboard. There is an excellent use of space here with space for the fridge/freezer or utilities running underneath the stairs allowing for additional worktop and storage space.

Leading upstairs is an impressive dual-aspect master bedroom which makes the most of the countryside views. This room also benefits from two in-built double wardrobes. To the rear is a bathroom with three-piece suite and a second bedroom which has built-in storage and also hosts the boiler.

Externally, the property is situated on a corner plot. The garden rear garden is elevated and surrounded by shrubbery, mature and is partly laid to lawn. Behind the garden, accessed via Mount Castle Lane, is a concrete driveway and double garage providing excellent storage. Opposite the property there is a heath for additional parking when/if needed.

The home is bright and airy throughout and has planning permission granted for a double storey extension to maximise the side plot and create two further bedrooms upstairs.

Location:
Lenham Heath is a small and tranquil hamlet in the Maidstone district of Kent, located just on the southern edge of the North Downs. Nestled halfway between Maidstone and Ashford, it sits near the M20 motorway and the A20. Despite its modest size, Lenham Heath enjoys good connectivity: the Stour Valley Walk winds through the community, and nearby Lenham railway station (about 2.5 miles away) links the hamlet with broader rail networks. The immediate surroundings are characterized by rolling fields, hedgerows, and woodland, giving residents a peaceful rural ambiance with easy access to major routes and public transport. Nearby is The Wishful Thinker: Elite Pubs and Chilston Park Hotel and with more amenities at local villages, Lenham and Charing.
