#TheGardenOfEngland
A substantial detached home set back from the road behind the village build line, within walking distance of the village centre and train station, offering approximately 3,300 sq ft of accommodation. The property enjoys wonderful countryside views, ample parking, a garage and gardens of around 0.5 acres.
No onward chain.
The property
This interesting home dates from the 1920s and was later extended in the late 1960s. In 2011 a further addition was completed, creating an enviable principal bedroom suite comprising a large bedroom, dressing room and dedicated bathroom. At the same time, the heating and plumbing systems were upgraded and an air source heat pump and solar thermal panels were installed.
As the photographs demonstrate, Bramley is presented for sale in excellent condition and offers spacious and versatile accommodation with scope for further alterations if desired. One of the most striking features is the 32 ft x 18 ft sitting room, with a dramatic vaulted ceiling, access to the garden and a period fireplace with log-burning stove. Above, a minstrels’ gallery overlooks the room and leads to a useable attic room with lighting, heating and built in storage and excellent views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. Subject to the necessary consents, this could be formalised as part of the main accommodation and provide an appealing home office, studio or playroom.
Outside, the garden and grounds extend to just over half an acre, mainly laid to lawn. There is also an established collection of planting beds and a well-designed vegetable garden with accompanying greenhouse.
The driveway and garage are positioned on the roadside, providing additional privacy for the house and garden beyond.
Situation
Charing is a historic and well-regarded village within the Ashford borough of Kent, set at the foot of the North Downs along the ancient route between London and the Channel ports. Much of its early history is linked to the Archbishops of Canterbury, who once owned the manor and left a rich architectural legacy that can still be seen today.
At the heart of the village is an attractive high street lined with a charming mix of period buildings, the most notable being the Archbishop’s Palace, a striking medieval structure where Henry VIII is believed to have stayed. Despite its historic character, Charing is a lively and well-served community.
The village offers a range of everyday amenities including independent shops, a butchers, a doctor’s surgery, a library and a well-regarded Church of England primary school, and micro pub/bar.
For more extensive shopping, leisure and professional services, the thriving town of Ashford lies around six miles away. Ashford International also provides High Speed rail services to London St Pancras in around 37 minutes. The cathedral city of Canterbury and the county town of Maidstone can both be reached within approximately 30 minutes by road.
Charing also has its own railway station within walking distance, offering regular services to London Victoria and Ashford, with journey times to central London of around 1 hour 20 minutes.
Surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the North Downs National Landscape, the area provides excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors.
