Staplehurst, Kent

A unique opportunity to acquire a well-presented former stable block which has been sympathetically restored with a cat slide peg tiled roof with a lovely feature of a covered terraced area with exposed beam work.  Internally the cottage was fully refurbished in recent years although currently some light redecoration work would be prudent.  The position is outstanding in tranquillity and an internal inspection is highly recommended.  The cottage has the benefit of oil-fired central heating and replacement double glazed windows.  Additionally, the former farm building forms garaging for the cottage with useful adjacent store.

The property is set on the outskirts of the popular Wealden village of Staplehurst with its range of local amenities including post office, Sainsburys supermarket, primary school and mainline station providing commuter services to London Charing Cross, Waterloo, London Bridge and Cannon Street (approximately 55 minutes).  The County town of Maidstone is approximately 9 miles away providing a wider range of both shopping and leisure facilities.  The property falls within the Cranbrook School catchment area.
