SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES This quintessentially English cottage is beautifully secluded on a quiet road, surrounded by picturesque Kent countryside.

With a pretty garden opening into allotment gardens to grow your own fruit and vegetables, you could easily forget that you are close to excellent transport links, popular schools and the bustling town centre.

A neat painted brick exterior with part glazed garage and entrance doors welcome you in.

The living room which delivers fabulous relaxing and entertaining space is effortlessly charming with an exposed brick chimney breast with log burning stove and warm wooden flooring contrasting beautifully with the neutral walls.

The dining area has plenty of room for a table and chairs and being open to the kitchen it means that you can chat to friends and family as you prepare dinner. The L shaped room also offers family space at the rear that offers garden views, its bi-fold doors extending the living space into the garden in the warmer months.

A lobby at the front gives access to a useful guest cloakroom and the integral garage that has lighting and electricity and room for additional appliances.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are three bedrooms, two doubles, all flooded with light from their pretty windows. A stylish and contemporary family bathroom with separate shower cubicle completes the first floor.
