End terrace house for sale in The Street, Appledore TN26

On entering, you realise immediately that you are in a very special, unique home. Not only are you struck by its comfortable, vintage style lived in feel and beautiful period features, but by its deceptively generous proportions and the surprising number of rooms which are arranged over three floors.

To the ground floor, there is a spacious sitting room with wood burner, dining room with separate access from the outside, utility cum scullery, shower room and kitchen. Nb: The layout of this floor would certainly lend itself to some kind of commercial use, possibly a cafe or tea room, subject of course to any necessary permissions. To the first floor is a large landing with open fire, currently used as a study, two double bedrooms, a cloakroom and walk-in wardrobe, and to the second floor, two further bedrooms and a bathroom.

This property also benefits from off-street parking for a number of vehicles, a detached garage to the rear, timber outbuilding / studio and a very pretty hidden south facing courtyard garden. The village itself sits between the Cinque Port towns of Tenterden and Rye, close to the famous Military Canal, the wild and wonderful Romney Marshes and coast, which is what makes this location so very popular.
