Main Road, Knockholt, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN14

A charming link-detached character property with southerly facing garden and off-road parking in this popular village

DESCRIPTION

Park Cottage is believed to have originally been a pair of 18th Century flintstone cottages, combined into one and extended in the middle of the twentieth century to provide a well balanced three bedroom house.

The house is not listed despite having an abundance of character including feature fireplaces (the vendors currently only used one in the sitting room, which houses a woodburning stove), multi-pane casement windows and two bay windows in the sitting room, drop latch doors and wooden floorboards to much of the first floor.

The house benefits from secondary glazing, off-road parking to the side of the house and a lovely, secluded cottage garden to the rear, which is primarily South-East facing. There is a former garage building with concrete base, currently used as a garden store. There is also a greenhouse in the garden.

The house is barely attached via a cupboard on the first floor to its neighbouring former stable building (now another house) on the rear corner. The same first floor cupboard technically has a flying freehold over the neighbour's side access path.

Taller parties should note, the ceiling height in the kitchen of this property is just over 6'.
