Description
If you're dreaming of countryside living without compromising on convenience, this enchanting period cottage could be your perfect match. Just a five-minute drive from Edenbridge Town Centre — with its array of shops, cafes, and nearby villages — this beautifully maintained two-bedroom home blends rural charm with accessibility. Nestled open fields, the setting is truly idyllic. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking to downsize, this home offers a peaceful retreat without feeling remote.
As you approach, a gravel driveway provides generous off-street parking for multiple vehicles. The flagstone path leads through a manicured lawn that offers privacy and a sense of seclusion. You’ll also benefit from a garage, offering versatile additional space. Stepping inside, you’re welcomed into a warm and inviting living room with a charming period fireplace, neutral décor, and solid wooden flooring. Within the living room, there are stairs to the first floor as well as a door leading through to the heart of the home — the kitchen/dining room.
The farmhouse kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring handmade shaker-style wall and base units, solid oak worktops carved from a single Oak tree, and a stunning reclaimed herringbone floor sourced from a former church school. Integrated appliances include a double oven, gas hob, wine cooler, and dishwasher. A feature wall of exposed brick adds even more character and warmth. Adjacent to the kitchen is a serene and thoughtfully designed shower room, finished with stone-effect tiles, brushed gold fittings, and a walk-in waterfall shower. The freestanding sink sits on a lime-washed wooden bench, creating a spa-like ambiance. The ground floor is also equipped with elegant cast iron radiators, and the home benefits from a modern, three-year-old boiler. Upstairs, you’ll find two well-proportioned bedrooms, both decorated in soft, neutral tones to create a calm and restful atmosphere. Both bedrooms have wonderful views over the open countryside.
The rear garden is a true highlight — a fantastic space for those who enjoy the outdoors. Step out from the kitchen onto an Indian sandstone patio, ideal for alfresco dining or summer barbecues, with uninterrupted views over the rolling countryside. The garden features a lawned area, an outbuilding currently used as a workshop and utility room (complete with washer, dryer, and a slate workbench), and a charming summer house, currently set up as an outdoor dining room but easily adapted into a studio or home office. The double garage, currently serving as a home gym and storage space, offers even more flexibility for future owners. Call us now for more information; we are *Open 8am - 8pm 7 Days a Week*
