The cottage is surrounded by fields and has a spacious driveway flanked by a lawn where you can park numerous vehicles. The delightful dual aspect sitting room has a beamed ceiling, a brick fireplace and log burner as well as hard wearing wood effect flooring that flows through double pine doors into the beamed dining room. This has built in bookshelves, access to the inner hall and French doors to a decked terrace with footings for a potential garden room.

The first floor landing leads to the family bathroom and three double bedrooms including the dual aspect main bedroom, while on the top floor there is a dressing area/study and an attractive double bedroom/playroom. The garden lawn is bordered by high trees and includes a summerhouse and access to the detached office that is currently configured as a sitting room, a kitchenette/diner and toilet.

What the Owner says:
This cottage is on a 2000 year lease and still has over 1810 years to run so, although it is technically a leasehold property, it realistically comes under the category of a ‘Virtual Freehold.’ We moved here 25 years ago and have renovated and extended the property including creating the second floor accommodation, underpinning the house, renewing plumbing and electrics and building the annexe and have planning permission for a garden room and two porches. Sadly a change in circumstances mean we must move but hope to stay in the area. It is not far to Lyminge with its shops, surgery, post office, pharmacy and primary school and Elham is also within easy reach. There are plenty of places for walking, cycling and riding including Lyminge Forest and two golf courses nearby. While Sandling station is not far away with fast trains to St Pancras taking just over an hour.
