Heathleigh Cottage offers superb presentation nestled in the heart of Horsmonden village. Grade II listed with a plethora of character throughout - once the post mistress's house for Horsmonden built circa 1785. This property has benefited from a complete renovation over the years with the provision of work to the original garage (now a reception room). Accommodation comprising entrance hall, double aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace, beautifully refurbished kitchen with range cooker and open aspect to dining room offering a further inglenook fireplace. To the first floor master bedroom with en-suite shower, two further bedrooms, walk-in wardrobe/cupboard and large family bathroom. Stunning landscaped garden/patio to the rear and large enclosed garden to the front.
Location
Horsmonden is a thriving village boasting several buildings of architectural and historical interest around the picturesque village green. Local amenities include Heath Stores, a village pub, a chemist, a doctor's surgery, nursery and primary school - which we understand are much sought after - tennis and cricket clubs, wi and village hall. The village offers many countryside walks, including around the grounds of the National Trust property of Sprivers, and bus services also connect Horsmonden to several neighbouring towns and villages. The nearest mainline railway station is just over 4 miles away at Paddock Wood and is very popular with commuters to London and the coast. Paddock Wood town offers a good range of facilities including a Waitrose supermarket, Tesco Local, Barsleys department store, NatWest bank, butchers, bakers, library, Jempson's/ post office and sports centre with running track, modern medical centre plus schools for all ages. The larger towns of Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone are approximately 8,9 & 13 miles distant and each offers an even wider variety of excellent shopping, educational and recreational choices.'
