Description
Before entering the house you get a real sense of village life situated opposite the local store in this wonderful Kent Village of Plaxtol. Sitting on the main street that runs through the centre of the hamlet you can see the history and different periods of buildings, the change of usage of some of them and adaptations to meet modern needs, but without losing the charm of when they were first built.
The property offers all that you would expect from a cottage, a door from the street leads into the first reception room with a feature fireplace with a brick surround and wood burning stove. A great start to the tour! A door leads to the second reception area which has been opened to a kitchen giving a sociably connected space that many are looking for. The dining area has storage cupboards and is of good size to accommodate a table and chairs. Stairs run to the first floor back towards the front of the property from this area. A good sized kitchen for a cottage sits at the end of this space that has mage clever use of the wall space to incorporate good storage. Tiled floors and splashback areas make for good functionality as does the sink overlooking the window to the garden. A central skylight offers great light to the kitchen which is also borrowed by the dining space. A further door leads to a rear lobby that gives access to the garden and includes a storage cupboard. The bathroom is on the ground floor as so many cottages of this period are and has been modernised at the turn of the century.
Upstairs offers a simple layout with two double bedrooms off a small landing with the main room to the front. A period fireplace with alcoves either side gives potential for built in storage / wardrobe space. The second bedroom looks out over the rear and has a built in cupboard using the space over the stair well.
The garden is private and enclosed and access from the rear via the parking bay allocated to the house. A winding pathway and feature beds lead from the house to a centrally located summer house.
