Set within a picturesque Kent landscape between the Kent Downs and High Weald, this double-fronted family home blends period character with practical living. Original fireplaces, exposed wall and ceiling beams and casement glazing give the principal reception rooms an authentic cottage feel, while parquet and quarry-tiled floors and a two-oven Aga add usable, attractive detail.
The layout provides flexible accommodation across two floors: two principal reception rooms, a dual-aspect kitchen with part-vaulted ceiling and Velux windows, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outdoors the mature, well-stocked gardens include a paved terrace, greenhouse, workshop, contemporary circular glazed garden pod and a swimming pool — excellent for entertaining and enjoying countryside views. Parking is generous with an electric-gated block-paved drive, oak-framed double carport and detached garage.
Practical points to note: heating is by an oil-fired boiler and radiators; the glazing dates from before 2002; exterior cavity walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed). These factors may affect running costs and future improvement planning. Also, one data field notes a “semi-detached” built form while the description and layout present a detached, double-fronted house — buyers should confirm title/plan details.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character-rich family house in a quiet village setting with space for outdoor leisure, potential for sympathetic updating and strong transport links to Maidstone, Headcorn and the wider region.
