Description

Straddling the River Medway in the centre of the picturesque village of Aylesford, this charming character home enjoys a central location with stunning views across the River Medway.

Opening into the entrance hall with wood panelling, the principal rooms take advantage of the riverside views. The dining room boasts a fireplace with log burner, whilst the sitting room is equally impressive, with an inglenook fireplace, an ornately carved bressummer beam above, and a further log burner.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of shaker-style cupboards, shaped quartz countertops, and a butler sink, complemented by a traditional Provençal garde-manger. The adjoining breakfast room features a Georgian fireplace with limestone flooring.

A further snug/office room, with an outlook to the river, is accessed from the kitchen.

Accessed via the boot room is a convenient ground floor bedroom complete with en suite shower room. Stairs from the boot room lead down to the cellar/utility room.

The upper floor provides the principal bedroom with en suite cloakroom, and 3 further bedrooms. There are 2 family bathrooms which service the first floor, as well as an attic room which offers useful storage space.

The separate cottage provides further accommodation, featuring a kitchen/dining room, sitting room, bedroom, bathroom, and shower room. Ideal for guests, it also offers excellent potential as a separate work area or independent living space for family.

Externally, this home provides a wealth of space to enjoy including terraced gardens with a number of established plant beds, and an expanse of lawn adjacent to the river. A paved terrace extending to the river provides an ideal area for al fresco entertaining.
