Description
Location.
Parsley Cottage sits on the edge of the small hamlet of Chart Sutton, midway between the County Town of Maidstone and the popular village of Staplehurst, collectively an abundance of facilities for shopping and schooling including mainline stations. The house, originally one of 5 farmworkers cottages built around 1875, was extensively extended 45 years ago by the present owners to provide a charming and substantial family home set over 3 floors, offering over 2350 sq ft of beautifully presented living space. Sympathetically retaining the cottage character, whilst offering a contemporary feel, this is a truly unique and welcoming family home.
Description.
Lested Lane was the access to the original Orchard Farm and is now a private roadway serving only the 10 properties there with no through traffic. The properties enjoy an exceptionally private and tranquil setting and are set in open countryside, with views across to the North Downs. Parsley Cottage backs onto an open field, regularly home to sheep from the adjacent farm. Set within nearly a quarter of an acre, the property enjoys spacious, well tended external areas with mature planting and lawned rear garden. Extensive patio and decking areas provide ample space for outside seating and entertainment. With the sun rising directly at the due East rear of the house, it enjoys sunshine through most of the day.
Accommodation.
Internally the new section is carefully blended with the original house to provide spacious and modern, light accommodation retaining the character feel throughout. Entering through the oak framed porch, the entrance hall offers a cloakroom and opens to the wonderful large front to back, double aspect drawing room with an open stone fireplace and patio doors providing garden views and access to the rear patio and garden. The dining room occupies part of the original cottage with original brick fireplace and access to the open oak staircase to the upper floors. The bright rear kitchen provides the essential heart to the house fitted with bespoke modern units topped with Brazilian granite and beautiful Jerusalem stone floor, with underfloor heating. A compact utility area houses the fridge/ freezer and spaces for washing/drying facilities.
Opening out from the kitchen is the stunning bespoke wood framed garden room which provides wonderful views over the garden in both winter and summer. Bathed in natural light with the same beautiful Jerusalem stone floor, also with underfloor heating, this is the most popular room in the house.
The first floor offers 3 bedrooms, one double has a pretty brick fireplace, the main double bedroom is stunning with double aspect to the front and back with a generous ensuite, and the 3rd bedroom is a small double/generous single. This floor is completed with a recently modernised family bathroom,
The second floor provides an interesting and versatile double bedroom with an open seating area which provide access to a spacious walk in storage room. Potential to create a second ensuite or home office.
External areas.
Externally the front in and out 4 car drive provides access to the large double garage with a pitched tiled roof offering useful storage space. The wide side passageway provides a log store and bin area and access to the rear garden. Two wood sheds are included, both with power and light, one of which is presently fitted out for dog grooming by the owner.
Summary.
Parsley Cottage offers something different and unique. A spacious and stylish family home in a peaceful private rural location yet with easy access to excellent local schools, supermarkets, shopping and transport links as well as the lovely Kent countryside on your doorstep. Internal viewing is essential in order to appreciate exactly what is being offered.
