House For Sale £400,000
Church Walk, Headcorn
Property Description: Guide Price £400,000 - £425,000. Bless Cottage is one of a handful of medieval cottages sitting proudly along Church Walk. This quiet footpath was once the main road out of Headcorn, it is now a mindful stroll through 500 years of English history towards the High Street with an abundance of amenities. The location is unbelievably quiet and peaceful considering its only 30 seconds away from the High Street – it feels like you are in the middle of the countryside yet everything you need is right on your doorstep. As you stand outside the cottage looking through the leaded casement windows you are instantly drawn to its charm and romantic ideal. Once inside the property you are blown away by the endless character, warmth and soul it has. To one side of the entrance hall is the welcoming living room with its open fireplace and log burner. You can just imagine yourself snuggling up in front of the fire admiring the picture perfect views over the churchyard. The country style kitchen with mosaic tiles and parquet floored dining room also enjoy these stunning views. The cottage is built from the very bedrock of our society, using local materials with Kent peg tiles, red and grey brick in Flemish bond, magnificent oak beams and latch down doors. The bedrooms are a real treat, there is a fantastic sized main bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a second bedroom which is also a double. Both rooms have a wealth of exposed beams utilised as shelves and features throughout. This beautiful cottage is aptly named as one would feel truly “blessed” to call it home.
Outside: The rear garden is a fantastic size and the perfect addition to this beautiful cottage. It is so large that one of the previous residents held her wedding reception in the garden after getting married in the Church. There is a lovely patio with space for a bistro table and chairs to enjoy a morning coffee and listen to the birdsong. The rest of the garden is laid to lawn with a variety of shrubs and plants along the borders to add a splash of colour throughout the seasons. At the bottom of the garden there is a kitchen garden to grow your own fruit and vegetables, much like our ancestors would have done all those years ago when the property was built. There is also a shed providing useful storage space. There is parking for the cottages available on the lane approaching the local Village Hall just a few steps away.
Location: Headcorn is a highly sought-after village in the heart of the Weald of Kent. It is well connected with its own mainline station offering services to Charing Cross and Cannon Street in approximately one hour, or 14 minutes to Ashford International for the coast or high speed services into Stratford and St Pancras in 38 minutes. The thriving high street supports numerous independent shops, (including an extensive hardware store, a photo printing shop and an antique store), bars, restaurants and cafes such as Foodies Emporium, Village tearooms, Krishna Indian restaurant and the popular Tap 17 micropub. There are two further pubs, a takeaway Chinese, a fish & chip shop, a hair salon and a florist. Other recognisable outlets include a Sainsburys local, a Costa, a Post Office and an Original Factory Shop. Headcorn is also home to the famous Big Cat Sanctuary with a variety of big cat species just 2 miles away - you can sometimes hear a roar on a quiet night from the village! As well as a village primary school, the area is particularly well known for the quality of schools, both in the private and state sectors. Notable schools in the area include Benenden, Sutton Valence, St Ronans, Dulwich Prep and Marlborough House. Excellent Grammar Schools can be found in Cranbrook, Maidstone, Tenterden, Tonbridge and Ashford making it an ideal location for families.
