High Street, Bidborough, TN3

An absolutely delightful three-bedroom, detached, period cottage, full of character and charm and set in this very popular Kent village. Deceptively spacious inside with excellent renovations and decorated and maintained to a high standard. Wonderful rural views and well positioned for village amenities and access to local towns.

This charming property, believed to date from the late-1800s, sits in an elevated position and is accessed via a few steps up to the front door. This opens straight into the reception hall, a versatile space with its boarded floor, beautiful feature fireplace, windows to the front with window seat, and currently used as a dining space. There is a study to the rear of the property which has double doors leading to the rear courtyard garden. Cleverly installed in this room is a separate WC, and adjacent is a large utility cupboard, housing the washing machine and dryer.

The second and main reception room is a very well sized space and enjoys a double aspect to the front and side with double doors leading to the raised terrace and spectacular westerly views across the countryside. The wooden floor continues, and the room has a beautiful open fireplace and a fitted cupboards to the side.

The kitchen is a lovely space, well designed to create plentiful storage and worktop space, with a breakfast bar, quality integrated appliances and granite worktops. The room is light and bright thanks to its triple aspect, which includes double doors to the rear courtyard, and an understairs cupboard provides further larder space.

On the first floor are the three bedrooms and family bathroom. The double aspect master suite has stunning views to the front, a beautiful feature fireplace, access to eaves storage and an en suite shower room. Both of the other two bedrooms are doubles: the room to the front with fitted storage and a feature fireplace, and the bedroom to the rear has high-level storage and lovely views of the village church.

There are two outdoor areas with this house. To the rear is a private paved and walled courtyard accessed from the study and kitchen, as well as via the side return. To the front is a raised terrace with storage beneath and well established and pretty shrubs affording privacy. This area has beautiful views over the surrounding countryside.

The allocated off-street parking space is a real bonus in this pretty village, which is perfectly positioned for access to all the schools and amenities of both Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, to include its mainline station with fast and frequent trains to London.
