Property Description: Guide Price £600,000 - £650,000. This large, detached family home is set back from the road and located in the desirable location of Charing Heath. Previously two separate cottages dating back to 1840, the property has original features throughout including exposed beams, flagstone flooring, and brick fireplaces. With an abundance of living space this property combines traditional charm with modern conveniences.
Entering the property over flagstone flooring there is a dining room and an impressive hallway with stairs to the first floor. The spacious living room has exposed beams and is dual aspect spanning the length of the property with double door opening onto the garden. This room is perfect for relaxing with family or entertaining guests. For added flexibility, a family room with an exposed brick fireplace (non functional) provides additional space which could be used as a home office, playroom or separate snug.
The modern kitchen has ample storage and worktop space with a ceramic hob and space for freestanding appliances.
Upstairs there are four generously sized bedrooms, three of which are doubles, and one large single. The main bedroom has fitted wardrobes, and there is an additional loft room. A family bathroom and a recently refurbished ground floor shower room provide convenience and comfort for everyday living.
Outside: One of the standout features of this property is its beautiful wrap-around landscaped gardens, extending across approximately 0.2 acres. The spacious lawn and large raised terrace with a bar provide a wonderful space for outdoor gatherings, summer barbecues, or simply unwinding amidst nature. The potential to convert the garage with an attached workshop into an annex (subject to planning permission) creates an opportunity for additional living space. There is also a large front garden and off-road parking for several vehicles.
Location: Charing is a small sought after village in the Ashford District of Kent, situated at the foot of the North Downs. The village is sited on the Pilgrims' Way from London to Canterbury and is still surrounded by farmland, but the good transport links have also led to the area becoming a popular commuter village. Charing station has connecting services to London St Pancras via Ashford International or London Victoria station is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. The village has a strong community life and the locals organise regular fairs, community and charity events. On the High Street and surrounding streets you will find a wide variety of shops, restaurants and services. Charing Church of England Primary School is just over a mile away. The Red Lion, a family run 16th Century country pub is within walking distance and is a relaxed, homely place to savour exceptional ales, wines and spirits, plus a delicious menu of home-cooked country style food. Charing’s most famous building is the Archbishop's Palace, which lies by the church and was an ancient possession of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The palace was an important building in the diocese of Canterbury and counted amongst its guests King Henry VIII. It has been a farmhouse for the last 300 years. In 2004, the palace was an unsuccessful contestant in the BBC television programme, Restoration, where several potential restoration projects throughout the UK competed for funds. The church is said to contain the stone on which John the Baptist was beheaded.
