Marden, Kent

DESCRIPTION
Beech Bridge House is believed to date back to the late 1800’s having been extended in later years and fully refurbished over a period of time.  

The property offers a unique opportunity to acquire a family residence but with the benefit of an attached and independent annexe suitable for relatives or children.  

Historically the property has been used for the keeping of horses and we are advised that there was a sand school.  The property has a separate side entrance leading to the paddocks to the rear, amounting to approximately 2 acres (unmeasured) with loose box, three bay tractor barn, garaging and sheds.

The property comes with an interesting file of historic documents and original deeds, all of which are included with the sale.

The property is set in the popular Wealden village of Marden with its range of local shopping facilities including village stores, butchers, bakers, post office, petrol station and shop.  There is an excellent primary school in the village and the mainline station offers commuter services to London Charing Cross and Cannon Street (approximately 50 minutes).  The County Town of Maidstone is approximately 8 miles away providing a wider range of both leisure and shopping facilities.
