Laburnum Cottage, Hilders Lane, Edenbridge, Kent, TN8

A must view four bedroom character Victorian Cottage situated in a fantastic location. This is a highly desirable area of Edenbridge, within walking distance of the countryside, the high street, two train stations and just two minutes drive to shops. The perfect home with lots of character to enjoy family life away from the hustle and bustle.

The property is set well back from the road with a gravel driveway. The current owner has kept the front garden in keeping with the cottage personality, with perennial flowers and mature seasonal flowering shrubs. The house is approached through the front garden along a herringbone brick paved pathway, to a centrally-located front door which opens into an entrance porch. From here you walk into the property’s dining room, a spacious room which can accommodate a 6-8 seater dining table. At the rear of this room, the staircase rises to the first floor. The house benefits from three reception rooms. A door at the end leads into the study and another to the right leads into a large bright living room which has a working fireplace with brick and stone hearth. From the living room, a hallway leads to the downstairs bathroom, recently refitted with shower over bath, glass shower screen, wall hung sink and low-level toilet. The hallway also leads to the study, a good-sized room with a gas fireplace and brick hearth, with an under-stairs storage area. This room would also make a fantastic playroom or snug. The kitchen is at the rear of the property, overlooking the garden. This is a spacious, modern L-shaped kitchen with lots of worktop space, shaker style units, induction hob and eye-level electric oven, plus spaces for other appliances such as dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washing machine. A door from the kitchen gives access to the garden.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms, two with built-in cupboards and feature fireplaces, whilst the third bedroom has Sharps fully fitted wall to wall wardrobes. The main bathroom includes a bath with power shower, folding glass shower screen, pedestal sink, low level toilet and electric blind.

Up the stairs to the second floor is a fabulous sized bedroom which spans the whole floor. This is an especially light and spacious room with eaves storage cupboards and two large skylights giving far reaching views to the High Chart.

The property has a lovely rear garden, accessible both from the kitchen and gated access from the front garden. There is something for everyone, with an area of lawn, a paved patio seating area, a tranquil area with water feature, a vegetable growing area with several raised beds and a large shed and covered storage area. The garden is planted with mature shrubs and trees, offering exceptional privacy.

Location:
Edenbridge is a traditional small market town set in the stunningly beautiful Eden Valley countryside on the Kent/Surrey border by the River Medway and close to the River Eden tributary from which its name is derived.

Edenbridge benefits from two mainline train stations with good links to central London. The M25 is a short drive and Gatwick airport can be reached in 25 minutes. Edenbridge offers residents a relaxed and peaceful way of life, and with Brighton being less than an hour away it's perfect for beach lovers and anyone looking to enjoy a more diverse cultural experience.

Edenbridge has a great range of shops, restaurants and supermarkets, as well as a host of traditional town and country pubs which are dotted in and around the town and local villages. A market is also held every Thursday in the town in Market Yard, where you can purchase a wide selection of locally grown produce from this English garden of Eden.

There is an excellent selection of primary schools in Edenbridge and many secondary education options including Grammar, state and private, all just a short bus or train journey from the Town.
