Skinners Lane, Edenbridge, Kent, TN8

If you are looking to escape to the countryside but not quite ready to give up living close to amenities, then this is the perfect property for you. Just a five-minute drive from Edenbridge Town Centre (as well as other established nearby towns and villages) this wonderful period cottage will be just perfect for you. The current owners really have put the work into this property, as you will see with your viewing.

Surrounded by rolling hills and all you can see fields, this two-bedroom cottage really is idyllic and the perfect home for a first-time buyer or for someone who is looking to downsize.

Approaching the property, you will notice the gravel drive with ample room for multiple cars to park. You will also notice the flag stone pathway which leads you up to the white front door. Not only is there room for off street parking, you also have a lawned area and mature fir trees for added privacy. Along with this, you also have access to the garage.

Through the front door, you walk into the living room which has a wonderful period feature fireplace. This is a good-sized room with neutral tones and wooden flooring. Stairs to the first floor can be found in this room as well as a door that will lead you through to the kitchen/dining room.

The kitchen/ dining room is a good space with a fully equipped kitchen with wall hung and under counter handmade shaker style units which are complemented with a solid wooden worktop that has been carved from the trunk of an oak tree and solid wooden herringbone flooring which has been upcycled and renovated originally used in a church school. Integrated appliances include double oven, gas hob, wine cooler and dishwasher. The exposed brick work feature wall really does add to the character of the property. Through from the kitchen, you will find the property’s shower room. This really is a tranquil space with stone effect tiles and neutral tones which have been complemented with brushed gold accessories and taps. The shower suite consists of a walk-in shower which has been equipped with a waterfall style shower with wand, a tabletop sink positioned on a lime washed wooden bench and toilet with hidden cistern. The property has a 3-year-old boiler and downstairs is equipped with cast iron radiators.

Using the stairs located in the living room you will ascend to find the property’s two bedrooms. These are both good sized rooms which again have been dressed in neutral tones.

This home has a fantastic garden for anyone who likes outside space! From the kitchen you walk onto an Indian sandstone paved area which overlooks a lawned area and on to rolling hills beyond. This is a perfect spot for alfresco dining during the BBQ season whilst entertaining family and friends. Just across from the kitchen, you will find an outbuilding which the current owners use as a workshop and utility room. It houses washing machine and tumble dryer as well as a good-sized workbench made from rainbow slate. You also have the luxury of a summer house which is currently utilised as a dining room but could be used as another space such as a home office or studio.

The current owners are currently using the double garage as storage and a home gym but this could easily be used to house cars.
