3 Bedroom Terraced House, Harbourne Lane, High Halden, TN26
Harbourne Lane, High Halden, TN26
Description
Originally built in the 1920's as one of three cottages for the servants at Harbourne Hall, this lovely unlisted cottage exudes character and warmth and has the feeling of a slower paced by-gone era. Having been a much loved home by the same family for almost 50 years, it would now benefit from some modernisation, but with its charming exterior, abundance of period character and beautiful gardens, it offers enormous potential and when finished, would make a very special home indeed. Due to the size of the garden and the fact that this cottage is at the end of the terrace, there is also huge scope for extension, subject of course to the necessary permissions. This property also benefits from a garage and off-street parking.
Located on the fringes of the pretty villages of High Halden and St Michael's, it is everything you could wish for in a rural retreat, and yet it benefits from being just over 2 miles from the beautiful Wealden town of Tenterden and 10 miles from the popular town of Ashford with its high speed rail link to London. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this lovely cottage and its stunning location have to offer.

Outside
As you approach this cottage, you are immediately struck by its rural location along a country lane which has largely remained unchanged for the past 100 years. To the front of the cottage is a picket fence and path that leads to the front door and side gate, which in turn takes you through to the beautiful rear garden. Wrapping round the cottage on two sides, this lovely garden, which is very well tended, is bordered by grazing land which only serves to accentuate the feeling of peace and tranquillity. For storage, there are two good size sheds and a timber summerhouse, and to the side of the property, there is a garage, to the front of which is an off-street parking space. AGENTS NOTE: At the end of the garden there is a separate path that leads to the back of the garaging. The neighbour has a pedestrian right of way over this to access their garage.
