House For Sale £800,000
Believed to date from the 16th century with 18th century elevations, with possible origins as a hall house, Rory Cottage is a red brick family home offering attractive, light-filled accommodation arranged over three floors. Configured to provide an ideal family and entertaining space, the property combines the amenities of modern living with character features including casement windows and a wealth of exposed wall and ceiling beams.
The welcoming rear aspect reception hall, with quarry-tiled flooring and useful storage, leads to the spacious sitting and dining rooms, the two areas separated by a Inglenook fireplace, and to a family room with front aspect window seating, a side door to the garden and a fully-tiled en suite family bathroom. The well-proportioned rear aspect kitchen has a range of bespoke wall and base units, an Aga and space for a table for more informal meals.
Stairs rise from the reception hall to a generous first floor landing leading to a spacious principal bedroom with built-in storage and large en suite bathroom, one further double bedroom with a fireplace and built-in storage and a family bathroom. Stairs rise from the second bedroom to the property’s remaining bedroom and to a generous study, suitable for use as an additional bedroom if required.
Trottiscliffe is a charming Kentish village with a good community spirit and a range of day-to-day amenities including local shopping, two village pubs, The George and The Plough (the Plough is run by The villagers, with great success) and popular primary school. The nearby historic market town of West Malling offers an eclectic range of boutique shops, coffee shops, public houses and restaurants as well as a gp surgery and mainline train station with services to London Victoria. Slightly further afield, Sevenoaks offers more extensive shopping, service, leisure and recreational amenities. Local leisure facilities include golf at Wrotham Heath and West Malling, a David Lloyd Leisure Centre, Trosley Country Park and motor racing at Brands Hatch. Communications links are excellent: The nearby M20 and connecting M26 and the M2 provide easy access to the M25 and national motorway network, Ashford International, the Port of Dover and Channel Tunnel at Folkestone offer regular services to the Continent and Borough Green & Wrotham station offers regular services to central London in around 45 minutes.
The area offers a good selection of state schooling including Trottiscliffe C of E Primary School in the village, Wrotham School and Meopham School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted), together with grammar schooling in Maidstone, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells and a number of noted independent schools including Cobham Hall, St. Andrew’s, Rochester Independent College, King’s and Gad’s Hill.
Having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached over a paved side driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to the detached garage and workshop, steps rising to a pedestrian gate leading to the rear aspect reception hall and garden. The well-maintained wraparound garden is laid mainly to level lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds and features a large split-level paved terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, the whole screened by mature shrubs and trees. There is a large cellar, accessed from outside.
