Description
In addition, this property benefits from a sweeping gravel driveway providing extensive off-street parking, a brick built attached garage, large timber outbuilding with enclosed store and open bays for parking, a good size mature south-west facing garden and productive vegetable beds with greenhouse, that is perfectly in keeping with the feel of the property and would be a haven for children, pets, gardeners and nature lovers alike.
The location itself has a wonderful rural feel, and yet benefits from being in close proximity to the villages of Biddenden and Smarden and the towns of Tenterden and Cranbrook with their superb array of shops, schools and other amenities. Headcorn, which is only a 5 minute drive away, has a Sainsbury’s local store and a mainline station to London. Viewing is highly recommended.
