The Street, Appledore, TN26

Set in the heart of the sought after village of Appledore, this charming Grade II Listed four double bedroom semi-detached home is full of character, period detail and timeless appeal. Beautifully complemented by generous cottage gardens, a detached brick-built outbuilding and off-street parking, it offers a wonderful combination of village living and country surroundings.

Appledore is a delightful village with a strong sense of community, while its location makes it ideally placed for enjoying both the historic picturesque Cinque Port towns of Rye and Tenterden, each approximately six miles away. This is a home with real warmth and individuality, offering plenty of space both inside and out.

Accommodation

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and is filled with beautiful period features. On entering, a lobby area provides a useful place for coats and shoes before opening into the heart of the house. The central dining hall is a particularly impressive space, with the proportions and character of a traditional period home and plenty of room for a large dining table. It creates a wonderful setting for both everyday family meals and entertaining.

The sitting room is a delightful double aspect room, filled with natural light and centred around a beautiful inglenook fireplace, creating a warm and inviting focal point.

The kitchen occupies what was formerly the dining room and has been thoughtfully updated to provide a more contemporary space, while still sitting comfortably within the character of the house. French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a lovely connection between the kitchen and outside space.

A cloakroom is also conveniently located on this floor.

A characterful landing on the first floor leads to the main bedrooms, with a beautiful old oak staircase continuing upwards to the second floor. The principal bedroom is a lovely double aspect room, enjoying plenty of natural light and featuring its own inglenook fireplace. A walk-in storage area provides useful additional space. Bedroom two is another double with vaulted ceiling and extensive built-in storage. The lovely family bathroom has a traditional feel, with a roll-top bath. The beautiful oak staircase continues to a superb second floor landing with a full height ceiling, creating a wonderful sense of space and character. From here, two further double bedrooms are accessed, one of which benefits from built-in storage. These rooms provide excellent flexibility, whether used for family, guests, hobbies or home working, and together complete the four bedroom accommodation.

Outside

The property is approached through an attractive picket gate, which opens onto a driveway which has a lawn and rose trellis to one side and established rose and shrub borders to the other. A brick wall provides privacy to the rear, while a gate leads through to the house, detached outbuilding and beautiful cottage style gardens.

The gardens are a real feature of the property, being generous in size and well stocked with a wonderful variety of flowers, shrubs and established fruit trees. They have been thoughtfully arranged into two distinct areas, creating different spaces to enjoy throughout the day. There are also paved terraces providing plenty of opportunity for outdoor dining and entertaining, together with a BBQ / fire pit area.

Detached Outbuilding

Detached from the house is a charming brick outbuilding, originally built as a garage but now arranged as a highly practical utility, boot room and store. It has a sink unit, space and plumbing for appliances, with the boiler also located here. With its useful facilities and separate position, it could continue in its current role or be adapted to suit a variety of needs, including a home office, hobby room, studio or garden room.
