Property description
Pretty end of terrace cottage dating back to circa 1870, and formerly, together with the adjoining property, the local bakers. Nestled in the centre of Five Oak Green village, with accommodation comprising entrance hall, large sitting room with open fire, dining room, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and modern bathroom on the first floor. Garden to the rear overlooking orchards.
DESCRIPTION
A delightful end of terrace cottage which offers excellent accommodation and good room sizes. The front bedroom has double aspect windows and we believe is large enough to be divided into two. The current owners have made some worthwhile refurbishments to this surprisingly spacious property including a fitted kitchen plus triple glazed windows and double glazed doors. On the first floor is a contemporary bathroom and two double bedrooms plus an impressive amount of storage. Downstairs is a modern kitchen, separate dining room and a charming fireplace in the cosy sitting room. The pretty garden to the rear adjoins orchards and has a lovely outlook. VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
LOCATION
Located in the heart of Five Oak Green village which is almost mid way between Paddock Wood & Tonbridge, approximately two and four miles distant respectively. This period cottage is within walking distance of a bus stop and the village post office/general stores. Conveniently situated for Capel Gym (private gym with membership fee) and other recreational facilities. Capel Primary School and the Montessori pre-school are both in Five Oak Green. Paddock Wood offers a wide variety of shops, schools and recreational facilities, including Waitrose & Tesco supermarkets, Barsleys department store, banks, library and several independent shops, together with Woodlands health centre and Putlands sports centre. Paddock Wood main line station is a popular choice for commuters with its direct services to London Charing Cross, Cannon Street, Waterloo East & London Bridge, Ashford and the Kent coast. The nearby towns of Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone offer an impressive variety of shops and schools (including grammar), plus a choice of other facilities.
