5 Bedroom Detached House, Market Place, Charing, TN27

The front door opens into a welcoming hallway where original wooden flooring adds warmth. Three steps lead up to the kitchen / dining room, while stairs give access to a split level landing where there is a shower room and then continue on to the first floor. Large feature arched window, matching arches over front doorway and one sitting room window.

This lovely space, with its French grey shaker style kitchen, spacious dining area and triple glazed French doors onto the courtyard garden, really is the heart of this home. To one end of the room is the newly fitted kitchen with its lovely silestone quartz worktops and high end integrated Bosch appliances including: larder style fridge / freezer; gas hob with extractor above and oven under; and dishwasher. Inset one and a half bowl sink with mixer tap. Combi Boiler. To the other end of the room is a large brick alcove which is where the original forge would have been. Wooden floors and exposed beams through out this space give it character and charm.

The generous sitting room has a most elegant feel. A fireplace with built-in storage to either side makes an interesting focal point in the room. Windows across the east wall let the morning sun flood in and give wonderful vistas over the pretty courtyard garden and Church. A door gives access to the south wing of the house.

Handily located on the mezzanine level of the north wing, this modern shower room comprises: enclosed shower; vanity unit with basin and storage below; WC and heated towel rail. Underfloor heating.

A very large landing which gives access to the three bedrooms and family bathroom on this floor. This unexpectedly large space has in the past been used as a library. It would also make a wonderful study or home office space or even somewhere to sleep additional guests.

This spacious double aspect bedroom, with built-in wardrobes, feature fireplace, exposed beams and glorious views, is a lovely place to relax at the end of the day.

A spacious double bedroom with south and east facing views over the garden and meadow beyond. A part vaulted ceiling with exposed beams makes this room feel even more spacious and airy.

A pretty bedroom with skylight and exposed beams. Ideal as a nursery, child's room or guest bedroom.

A luxury bathroom with double ended bath, top range vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail. Underfloor heating. A large skylight in the vaulted ceiling is perfect for star gazing while relaxing in the bath!

A separate outdoor entrance from the courtyard leads into the lobby area which gives access to the annexe wing as well as the sitting room in the main part of the house. NB: This wing of the house has its own water heating system and electric radiators.

This versatile space could be used as a double bedroom or as an additional living space. A window to the side gives courtyard views and a special vista of the Church over the wall.

This handy shower room serves bedroom 4 and also acts as a utility area with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.

Although currently used as a bedroom, this space would make the perfect living area for the annexe as there is a small built-in kitchenette with sink, fridge and storage. Low French doors open onto a balcony which has the most amazing views over Cleward's Meadow towards the Church and North Downs. The ideal place for sundowner drinks or just to sit and take in one of the best views in the village.

The property is approached over a driveway where there are two five bar gates. Inside the second gate is an area which could be used for parking. On a slightly lower level is the main courtyard garden area which is beautiful and low maintenance. Surrounded on three sides by the house with a flanking brick wall to the other side, this is a very enclosed garden which has the advantage of privacy, but also benefits from unrivalled views.
