Horseshoe Cottage, Charing Heath

A charming Grade II Listed four bedroom, three reception room detached family home with extensive driveway and double garage, occupying landscaped private gardens of 0.7 acre on the edge of the semi-rural hamlet of Charing Heath.
Horseshoe Cottage is believed to have started out as a considerably smaller cottage and has been extended over the years to create extensive accommodation arranged over two floors including an entrance porch, entrance hallway, downstairs cloakroom, utility room, snug with inglenook fireplace, sitting room, dining room and bespoke fitted kitchen, four bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside, the property is approached via remote controlled electric gates onto a private driveway leading to a detached double garage and workshop along with beautifully landscaped private gardens with woodland walk, vegetable plot, greenhouse and shed and far reaching views over the eastern boundary across open farmland.
The property benefits from oil fired central heating and private septic tank drainage.
The property is located on the edge of the hamlet of Charing Heath, a small rural community which enjoys its own Church and Public House, located some 1.5 miles south west of the larger village of Charing with its interesting mix of shops, restaurants, public houses, churches, primary school and doctors' surgery. The property is located within the catchment area for the sought after Egerton Primary School.
Transport links are well supported with a mainline railway station in Charing providing access to London Victoria and Ashford International Stations with its high speed 37 minute service to London St Pancras.
Junction 9 of the M20 motorway is some 6 miles distant and junction 8 just 9 miles, the village of Charing is also just 5 miles west of the market town of Ashford with its wide range of excellent shopping and leisure facilities and choice of primary and secondary schools.
Delightful character properties like this are rarely available for long and we recommend interested applicants make immediate arrangements to view to avoid disappointment.
