Lilac House, Mill Lane, Sissinghurst, Cranbrook

Description

A detached non listed character cottage having been the subject of a useful side extension and loft conversion, improving the home drastically. Presented to a high standard with a wealth of character features throughout, with 3 double bedrooms (1 with en-suite) and a 4th smaller bedroom, accommodation set across 3 floors. The tasteful side extension has added a lovely entrance hall, downstairs WC and office space leading through to the living room and conservatory, a spacious kitchen/dining room opening to the pretty rear garden. The cottage has off road parking, lovely views to both the front and rear. Internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate what this cottage offers.


Situation

Set on the edge of the popular and pretty sought after village of Sissinghurst (well known for its historic castle and gardens), within a short walk of the village centre which has an excellent pub/restaurant, a village shop, church, tennis and cricket clubs as well as a primary school. Both Cranbrook and Tenterden Town centres are within easy driving distance, and collectively offer a comprehensive range of facilities, and amenities. The A21 and A229 road networks give access to the M25 for Gatwick and Heathrow airports, and the M20 to Dover and Ashford International Station. Staplehurst mainline station is about 6 miles and offers frequent services to London (the journey taking about 1 hour) and Ashford International. Set within the favoured C.S.C.A. Internal viewing is essential to appreciate exactly what is on offer, and a trip into Cranbrook is highly recommended....
