Stonehill, Sellindge

Mapps Estates are delighted to bring to the market this charming detached cottage set in beautiful gardens in a semi-rural location, yet within a short drive of Ashford for high speed access to central London. This well-appointed home is finished to a high quality throughout while losing none of its period character. The well proportioned accommodation is surprisingly spacious, comprising a front porch and reception hall, a sitting room with an open fire, a dining room with a cast iron log burner, a country kitchen with a stable door, and a large modern conservatory to the ground floor, while upstairs you will find the two double bedrooms and spacious bathroom with both a corner bath and a separate shower cubicle. An outbuilding to the rear offers a utility room and WC. The generous rear garden complements the property beautifully and backs onto open fields to the rear. With a gravelled driveway completing this delightful home, an early viewing comes highly recommended.
