Spout Lane, Brenchley, Tonbridge, Kent, TN12

A charming home with a generous layout and pretty views located on the outskirts of the highly-regarded village of Brenchley, well-placed for village amenities & choice of neighbouring towns

Description

4 Spout Lane is a delightful and deceptively spacious Victorian, semi-detached cottage, in this semi-rural location on the edge of Brenchley village, which has been extended and updated over time, most recently to reflect the need for energy efficiency with both Air Source Heat Pump installation and solar panels. The light, spacious, well-presented accommodation is set across three floors and provides much flexibility and all floors benefit from the view of the neighbouring orchards and woodland.

A welcoming entrance porch leads into a comfortable sitting room where exposed beams, timber flooring and a wood-burning stove create a warm focal point. To the rear of the house, the kitchen is arranged in a traditional farmhouse style and provides lots of storage and preparation space and is fitted with a Rangemaster cooker and breakfast bar, forming the heart of the home. The kitchen opens to a family room with doors opening directly onto the terrace beyond. A separate dining room also opens onto the terrace, creating a very sociable layout for entertaining. A cloakroom and useful storage space completes the ground floor.

The first floor is home to the spacious principal bedroom with outlook over Spout Lane, there is a second double bedroom on this floor with views to the rear and the family bathroom. The second floor is home to two further single bedrooms, one of which is currently used by our clients as a study, ideal for today's working from home needs, if required.

Outside - 4 Spout Lane enjoys a pretty and established rear garden, with a sunny orientation that has been landscaped with ease of maintenance in mind, geared towards outdoor dining and entertaining. The terrace has space for a large table, there is a stone BBQ, a charming pond/water feature and colourful and attractive planting to the boundaries, with lovely uninterrupted views of the neighbouring orchards. To the front of the property there is driveway parking with an EV charging point.

Brenchley offers a post office, dentist, doctors' surgery and dispensary, along with a fine church, primary school, The Little Bull Café & Bar and Grey’s Cafe.
