More extensive shopping can be found in Sittingbourne, Maidstone and Ashford. Bluewater shopping is located just off the M25 Junction 2 (A2/M2).
Rail services run from Hollingbourne to London Victoria in about 1 hour 12 mins, or trains to London St Pancras, Cannon Street, or Victoria can be found at Sittingbourne station (from 55 mins to 1 hr 10 mins). Ebbsfleet International (23 miles) has fast services to London St Pancras in about 20 mins. Ashford has a high speed train service to London St Pancras in about 37 minutes.
Like many parts of Kent there is an excellent selection of schools in the area. In the state sector there are grammar schools for boys and girls in Sittingbourne, Maidstone, Cranbrook and Tonbridge. Independent girls and boys schools in the private sector include Sutton Valence, King's Canterbury, Lorenden, St Edmunds and Tonbridge at junior and senior level.
There is easy access to the M20 (Junction 8) and M2 providing links to Gatwick and Heathrow airport and other motorway networks.
Description
Pilgrims Croft is a fine Edwardian home which is surrounded by mature gardens to the south and its own paddock to the north which could be ideal for keeping a pony, sheep or for camping adventures.
The current owners have made it their home for over 37 years and are now moving less than a mile away to a smaller property. The house is well presented and will no doubt undergo cosmetic updates to suit ones taste.
The ground floor accommodation is generous with ample entertaining and living space for all seasons. The kitchen flows into a large conservatory addition which opens to the garden. The first floor is given over to five bedrooms and two bathrooms whilst the second floor is currently used a gym and four storage rooms but could be used as a children's floor.
A very generous brick paved drive to the front and side of the house leads to a large double garage with further storage space.
The paddock is well fenced with a further small fenced area with a stable.
Square Footage: 4323 sq ft
Acreage: 1.95 Acres
