House For Sale £895,000
Sitting on the outskirts of Groombridge near to the Enchanted Forest, this Grade II listed cottage is encompassed by its own gardens and retains a wealth of original charm and character with exposed timbers that flow throughout the majority of the property.
Looking out onto the surrounding greenery through leaded windows the reception rooms of the ground floor offer versatile space in which to relax and spend time together. An inglenook fireplace with a log burner is a focal point in the superb triple aspect drawing room, while a sitting area and dining room combine to create an open plan layout that opens onto the gardens from each end. Light and bright, the sympathetically styled kitchen/breakfast room is appointed with integrated appliances and has French doors that lead into a peaceful garden room that gives access to the integral garage. A shower room completes the ground floor.
The exposed timbers continue upstairs where four bedrooms provide flexible family accommodation. A principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a large en suite bathroom with a heated towel radiator and eaves storage. Two additional bedrooms, and a fourth bedroom with sloping ceilings is on the second floor. A family bathroom includes a full size bath with overhead shower.<br/><br/><b>Outside</b><br/><br/>Bordered by established lawns with mature shrubs, a gated gravel driveway leads up to the cottage offering an excellent amount of private off-road parking, while an integral garage has plumbing and currently acts as a part utility area with 2 freezers, washing machine and tumble dryer. Perfectly placed to enjoy far-reaching views of the landscape, a notably sized terrace is ideal for al fresco meals.
