6 bed detached house for sale

Giggers Green, Aldington TN25

Detailed Description

Description
Sunshine Cottage was built for the current owner circa 1977 using materials salvaged from the original dwelling which stood on the site which accounts for the attractive ragstone façade and the exposed chimney breast in the sitting room. The property has suffered from a prolonged period of neglect and now requires an extensive programme of repair and refurbishment. The asking price reflects the requirement for some considerable expenditure and the property is considered well worthy of the investment required. It offers the potential to create an exceptional home in an idyllic location.

The accommodation, which could be reconfigured, currently comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, three double bedrooms (one with en-suite shower room) and a bathroom on the ground floor. The first floor provides one double and three single bedrooms and a further bathroom.

The property occupies a plot of approximately 0.38 of an acre with lawned gardens to the front and side. A generous driveway provides ample parking and access to the integral double garage.

For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
