A charming and beautifully presented period cottage enjoying exceptional countryside views and a wealth of character throughout, a private garden together with a large garden shared with 6 other cottages and garage. Occupying an enviable position overlooking open fields and the River Medway, this delightful home combines period charm with practical modern living, offering a peaceful semi-rural lifestyle within easy reach of Tunbridge Wells.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully updated whilst retaining much of its original character. Exposed beams, brick fireplaces, timber detailing and cottage-style windows create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.
The heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen and living space. The kitchen has been fitted in a traditional shaker style with solid wood worktops and enjoys a wonderful outlook over the gardens, whilst the sitting area centres around an attractive brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point during the winter months.
The property offers well-balanced accommodation arranged over three floors. The bedrooms are all well-proportioned and full of character, with the principal rooms enjoying spectacular views across the surrounding countryside. From several windows, uninterrupted vistas stretch across the river and rolling fields beyond, creating a constantly changing backdrop throughout the seasons.
The family bathroom is fitted with both a bath and separate shower, combining practicality with period styling that complements the character of the home.
Outside, the property truly comes into its own. The private rear garden is complemented by a large communal garden, shared and maintained by 6 cottages, and provides a wonderful space for families, entertaining and enjoying the surrounding landscape. Mature trees, established planting and extensive lawned areas create a feeling of privacy and seclusion, whilst an elevated decked terrace provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and taking in the far-reaching views. We are informed by the vendor that the large communal garden area is owned by Chafford Bridge Residents Association Ltd and that the owner of cottage number 1 will own a 1/6 share in that company. The area is jointly used and managed on an informal basis between the six cottages . There are no service or maintenance charges.
Garage: There is a garage en-bloc with off road parking in front.
The setting is exceptionally peaceful, with the property enjoying an almost hidden position surrounded by greenery, yet remaining conveniently placed for access to Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and the surrounding villages.
