4 bedroom house

Sweeping through the five bar gate onto the driveway that provides off road parking for up to three cars, you can enjoy your first glimpse of this extended period cottage that was originally built in 1801 and nestles in 1.49 acres of garden and paddocks. Set well back from the road it immediately exudes charm and character, with its ivy clad pitched roof porch, multi-pane windows, mellow brick work and Kent peg tiles.

Once inside you can feel the warm and friendly atmosphere that is enhanced even further as you see the large lounge with its inglenook fireplace, double aspect windows and central beam. This leads to an office with a large picture window overlooking the fishpond and a cloakroom with a door to the garden. There is a dining room with exposed ceiling beams, parquet flooring and an inset log burner as well as a walk-in larder and understairs storage and an open archway to the new extension that incorporates the attractive, country style kitchen/breakfast room. This has a range cooker and an island discreetly hiding laundry appliances as well as French doors to the large terrace and double aspect windows providing plenty of natural light.

Upstairs there is a family bathroom together with a single bedroom and three double bedrooms that all have fitted cupboards. The attractive master includes an en-suite shower and on the landing a pull down ladder gives access to the loft. Outside there are two good sized paddocks that back on to orchards and two garden storage sheds, a vegetable patch and a greenhouse. A large paved terrace leading directly from the kitchen is just the spot for al fresco dining and has steps to the rear lawn that continues around to the front. It includes the goldfish pond, shrub borders and the lawn that is interspersed with a variety of trees. The house also benefits from newly installed excellent double glazing.

What the Owner says:

"This house has been in our family since 1975 but we feel the time has come to move nearer to our children in London. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here and it has been a great place for the kids to grow up. Marshside offers a variety of wonderful country walks and the house is only a couple of minutes from the renowned Gate Inn".
