A period five-bedroom semi-detached cottage set in a rural location with lovely views, a short drive drive from Edenbridge and Crockham Hill. This spaciously deceptive family home was built in 1850 and was formally two cottages. Our current sellers have been in occupancy for 50 years and have thoroughly enjoyed living at the property with its rural views and pleasant neighbours. Appearances can be deceiving as this house is much larger than you may think, with three reception rooms, two bathrooms, five good-sized bedrooms, and a pleasant rear garden that enjoys the Westerly sun. You would expect a plethora of period features from a house of this age and this property does not disappoint, high ceilings, feature fireplaces, and exposed beams are just a few of what this house has to offer. Externally the property has allocated parking, a driveway to the front, and a lovely, well-manicured garden to the rear with a garden shed, greenhouse, and a summer house Over the years our sellers also bought and created a rear access path leading to the off-street parking area. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the size and lovely features this house has to offer. Call us now, we are Open 8 am – 8 pm 7 Days a Week

Edenbridge has a great range of shops, restaurants, and supermarkets, as well as a host of traditional town and country pubs which are dotted in and around the town and local villages. There is an excellent selection of primary schools in Edenbridge and many secondary education options including Grammar, state, and private, all just a short bus or train journey from the Town.
