Description

The Cottage is a charming family home of great character, situated within this sought after and picturesque village. The versatile and well-proportioned accommodation is beautifully presented throughout, seamlessly blending period features with a stylish, contemporary finish and creating idea areas for entertaining and family living. Salient points include modern kitchen and bathroom suites, four double bedrooms, attractive fireplaces, exposed ceiling timbers, casement windows and a south facing rear garden. Plaxtol offers an active and traditional village community, with a country pub, church, village store, post office and a primary school, and is well located for Borough Green and Tonbridge stations, 3.2 miles and 5.3 miles respectively.

There are two bright reception rooms, both featuring square bay windows with view to the front, fireplaces inset with a wood burning stove and ample fitted storage. One of these rooms is currently utilised as a playroom.

The double aspect kitchen/dining/family room is a superb space, perfect for informal entertaining and family life. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of stylish wall and base units, a matching island unit and integral appliances by Neff.

A study features a square bay window providing lovely views over the rear garden and a bank of fitted storage. An adjoining utility room offers additional storage, space for appliances and a W.C.

Arranged over the first floor is the principal suite, comprising a double aspect bedroom, a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite bathroom with twin basins and a separate shower.

Completing the accommodation are four further double bedrooms, one with a bay window and another with fitted wardrobes and a modern family bathroom.

The rear garden has a southerly aspect and creates a lovely backdrop to the property. A paved terrace is a perfect spot for al fresco entertaining, and has a connecting paved path with runs down one side of the garden, culminating in a childrens play area and a garden implement store.

A level area of lawn is flanked on both sides by well-stocked borders planted with a wide variety of herbaceous shrubs and specimen trees, all creating year round interest and a high degree of privacy. A pedestrian gate allows access to the front of the property.
