Description

Horsmonden is 0.25 of a mile away with a convenience store, pharmacy, gp surgery and public house.
Internally, the property boasts a wealth of charm and character with fine timbers and beams including a crown post, a king post, door casements and inglenook fireplace. The ground floor accommodation comprises; an entrance hall with minstrels' gallery and a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. A latch door leads through to the part vaulted study and adjacent, double panel doors open to the dual aspect sitting room with beautiful inglenook fireplace and log burner.
The kitchen/dining room enjoys a double aspect via oak casement windows and is fitted with a range of cupboards complimented by granite worksurfaces. A shower room concludes the ground floor accommodation.

Bedroom three also benefits from a staircase leading up to a versatile attic room with velux style window and eaves storage.
