eighbouring countryside and is complimented by a luxurious en-suite wet room. Bedroom two also with the benefits of dual aspect light, is also served by an equally impressive en-suite wet room.

Step Outside
The property stands proudly within a parkland style garden of approximately 0.8 of an acre with rolling lawns interspersed with mature shrubberies and imposing specimen trees making up its boarders. A grass bank rises to an elevated lawn that provides exceptional elevated views of the house and Kentish countryside off into the distance. A perfectly positioned sun terrace to the rear of the residence offers an ideal position in which to enjoy al fresco dining and again offers wonderful views over the neighbouring rolling hills and grazing farm animals. A large brick built outbuilding provides useful storage for garden tools and sit-on lawnmower.
Parking
A five bar wooden gate to the front of the home gives way to a driveway dressed in fine shingle, large enough to park several vehicles. An overflow parking area is conveniently located at the end of the rear garden.
Location
The village of Birling is considered to be very well positioned. At its heart is a beautiful ragstone church surrounded by equally appealing homes built of the same mellow material. The award winning market town of West Malling is just minutes away with an eclectic range of boutique shops, Gastro pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. The region is well served by schooling with the local village primary schools retaining their long standing high reputation. Senior schools are within easy reach, as are selective Grammar schools.
For those wishing to commute to London or the Continent it should be noted that this area is superbly blessed with transport links. The M20 & M25 are but a short drive, with train times to London of approximately 50 minutes from the nearby station. Continental travel by rail is accessible via either Ebbsfleet or Ashford International stations and cross channel services via The Channel Tunnel or coastal ferry terminals all within very easy reach
