Maidstone Road, Horsmonden, TN12

This charming Grade II listed cottage is set near the centre of Horsmonden and has been considerably renovated and upgraded by the current owners whilst being sympathetic to the character and heritage of the building.

The pretty entrance porch leads through to a generous sitting room with a wide inglenook fireplace and exposed beams and from here there is a door to the triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room which spans the width of the house. Mellow brick flooring compliments the pale shaker style cabinetry under quartz work surfaces with an Aga providing a marvellous focal point and with plenty of space for a table and chairs and French doors out to the garden, this is a fabulous, light-filled space. An adjoining double aspect dining room to the front of the house provides an elegant area for more formal entertaining and there is a useful utility area to the rear. An attractive study with bespoke bookshelves and a stone fireplace surround with log-burner to the rear of the house completes the ground floor accommodation.

Stairs lead from the kitchen to the first floor where there are three bedrooms; two to the front of the house, one of which has an elegant en suite bath/shower room with large shower enclosure and free-standing bath whilst the principal to the rear has a generous walk-through dressing room, en-suite shower room and steps up to the double aspect bedroom. An enclosed staircase leads up to the second floor where there is a further double bedroom and family bathroom.

Outside

Set behind low picket fencing, there is a wide parking and turning area with a pathway leading to the front porch with an area of lawn and established flower borders with the driveway leading to the detached tandem garage. To the rear of this is an excellent studio/garden room with French doors out to the rear garden. This has wide swathes of lawn with specimen trees and is bordered by mature hedging and close board fencing. Outside the kitchen/breakfast room is a charming, paved terrace with pergola – an ideal spot for relaxing and entertaining.
