Property description
This picturesque cottage is reported to be one of the oldest properties in the village and is offered for sale with its very own Red Telephone Box.
Well known Landscape Artist Rowland Hilder is quoted as saying “what a joy it was to spend a whole halfpenny on sweets in the little shop near the Bull” when he stayed in Birling with his grandparents as a child. The cottage was also rumoured to have been an Ironmongers amid its history. Full of charm and character, original beams and the Inglenook fireplace in the lounge are particularly striking features. The floor in the lounge is of high quality Finnish Timbers and the staircase is made of Parana Pine.
The current owners have restored their home carefully retaining a charming period ambience. They have enjoyed many family suppers in the great size kitchen/diner.
The washing machine and recycling you will be pleased to know can be quietly hidden away with the laundry in a great size utility/shower room. No short of storage or work top space here. Take a peek upstairs and 3 good size bedroom greet you. Pretty windows let the light flood in and offer you charming views of the village and panoramic beautiful surrounding countryside.
Birling is quite simply the type of village you would aspire to live in.
What the Owner says:
I have loved living here. The gardens are captivating and I have carefully stocked them to create an attractive 'country cottage' garden. Take your pick when it comes to seating areas and a small fishpond, the garden benefits from more than one shed and a driveway accessed through double gates.
Located in the very heart of the village, Birling is a very special village that is really popular for its exceptional location and proximity to local and regional amenities.
The surrounding countryside is quite breath taking with the nearby North Downs an excellent destination for cyclists and walkers alike.
