House For Sale £395,000
This beautiful Grade ll listed period cottage, believed to have been part of a Kentish Hall house, is situated in the picturesque village of Fordwich which is in fact Britain's smallest town. The property is situated in the heart of the village close to two local public houses and has easy access to wonderful countryside walks including the North Downs Way. The property is entered via a brace and batten door into a characterful and spacious sitting room which has a large inglenook fireplace at the far end with a bressumer beam carved with thistle, shield and Tudor rose motifs. There is an enclosed stairway to the first floor and a door into a small lobby area, which is open plan onto a small study/breakfast room area with a window overlooking the garden. There is also - unusually for a property of its type - a downstairs cloakroom with a brick floor. The kitchen is at the rear of the house and has period painted units including a free standing dresser topped with marble. It has a tiled floor, a built in double oven and gas hob and an oak drainer that spans the width of the kitchen inset with a Belfast style sink. On the first floor is a good sized landing with a period picket style balustrade and a loft hatch. There are two double bedrooms, both with exposed stud work to the walls and one with a fireplace. The bathroom is Victorian in style and has a free standing roll-top bath with mixer taps and a shower fitting. There is a high level wc with a painted bowl, a stripped floor, a large airing cupboard and a shower cubicle with electric shower. At the rear of the property is a very pretty cottage garden with a good sized lawn surrounded by flower and shrub beds and mature trees. There are brick pathways and a patio area, a brick built shed and a side access. At the bottom of the garden is a Victorian street light, which is in working order.
