Staplehurst, Kent

An outstanding example of an important village semi-detached cottage formerly part of the Loddenden Manor Estate, having been refurbished with great care to retain many of the beautiful period features with a wealth of exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and quality fitted kitchens and bathrooms.  An internal inspection is highly recommended.  The property benefits from full gas-fired central heating.  The garden is nicely secluded and landscaped.

The property is set within 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.

From our Staplehurst office proceed a short way along the High Street in the northern direction and the cottage will be found a short way along on the right-hand side with our For Sale board outside
