KEY FEATURES
SUMMARY
Grade II Listed, this property is the epitome of a quintessentially charming Kentish cottage, but with a contemporary twist. Beautifully presented throughout, this very stylish property, with its wonderful blend of modern living and period charm would make a most comfortable permanent / second home, "lock up and leave" property, holiday cottage or investment opportunity. The surprisingly spacious, well-proportioned accommodation includes a warm and welcoming sitting room with wood burner, a good size bespoke kitchen, which opens through to a lovely bright dining area and snug, and upstairs, a modern bathroom and three good size double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. The property also benefits from a pretty south facing walled courtyard garden, off-street parking for two cars, a garage / workshop and further attached outbuilding, currently used as a pottery studio. In addition, all of the many local amenities in this thriving village are on the doorstep, which is what makes this location so popular.

Snug
This second reception room, currently set up as a snug, could serve a number of different purposes and as it stands, serves to make the ground floor layout very flexible and family friendly.

OUTSIDE
GARDEN
The cottage is set in a wonderfully tucked away position towards the back of Church Square with views of the ancient Church. An iron railing to the front defines a small garden area which leads you to the front door. To the rear, there are two off-street parking spaces in front of a garage / workshop. Attached to this is a further outbuilding, currently divided into two spaces, and used as a pottery studio. This useful space which has power and light connected could, however, serve a number of different purposes.
