Detached house for sale in Station Road, Charing TN27

For lovers of period architecture there is much to get excited about here. While part of this superb Grade II Listed house is thought to date back to the 15th Century, other parts are distinctly Victorian with later additions, which have been sympathetically added and updated over the years to make what is now a very special home. Although the proportions of the rooms and the square footage on offer (approx. 3,500 square feet in total) are already generous, the layout and large plot size offer further scope for extension if desired, subject of course to the necessary permissions.

Outside, there is is a wonderful park like garden to the rear, the size of which is rarely found so close to the centre of the village, providing a haven for children, keen gardeners, pets and nature lovers alike. The property also benefits from much kerb appeal, with a landscaped parterre garden, large gated driveway and sympathetically designed new double garage with further potential to the front.

This beautiful property would make the ideal home for a buyer wishing to be in a village location, close to all the local amenities, while still needing to be within a short distance of good towns, schools and transport links. Viewing is highly recommended.

A handy utility room leads off of this and gives access to the garden beyond.
