The Street, Egerton, Ashford, Kent, TN27

I was especially struck by the sense of space and how well the house flows. The garage at the end of the garden is another a great practical feature.

#TheGardenOfEngland

A charming and characterful cottage situated in the heart of a highly sought-after Kentish village, believed to date from the 16th century with later sympathetic additions. The property retains a wealth of original features and now provides three reception rooms and four bedrooms, together with a generous private garden and garage.

Offered with no onward chain.


Description
This particularly attractive home displays the classic Kentish vernacular, with brick and rendered ground floor elevations beneath decorative tile-hung first floor elevations and a traditional Kent peg-tiled roof, reflecting the origins of a medieval hall house.
As the photographs illustrate, the property retains many original features throughout. Particular highlights include a superb inglenook fireplace within the dining room, a charming breakfast room adjoining the kitchen, and a third reception room to the front of the house. The front-facing rooms enjoy delightful views towards the village church, whilst the rear rooms overlook the attractive lawned garden. The property also benefits from a useful cellar. To the first floor there are four double bedrooms, together with two separate shower rooms.

Situation
Egerton is a beautiful and historical rural village in the heart of the Kent countryside and is home to many listed properties and the local St James Church dates back to the 13th Century. The village comprises a Post Office, Millennium Village Hall and Egerton Church of England Primary School. There are many interconnecting footpaths to enjoy hours of scenic walks through and around the village, which is surrounded by unspoilt countryside.
The property is within easy reach of Ashford, just over 8 miles away, where you’ll find many shops and eateries in addition to Ashford International Railway Station, offering high-speed services into London’s St Pancras. The M20 is also nearby providing easy road access to London and Kent’s coastal towns.

A network of pretty villages surrounds the development, all with their own individual charm, with the most well serviced being Leham, Pluckley, Headcorn and Charing. These villages in particular have train stations providing with links to London stations, Canterbury and the coastline via Ashford International, a range of useful shops and food outlets.

Schooling options nearby include a number of well performing grammar schools for both girls and boys, including Highworth Grammar School and Norton Knatchbull School in Ashford and four Maidstone Grammar Schools. Coeducational independent schools Sutton Valence School and Ashford School are also both within easy reach and offer education from nursery all the way through to sixth form.
