Property description
LOCATION
Situated close to the picturesque Wealden village of Marden which offers a wide range of local amenities including a medical centre, chemist, village shops, pubs and restaurants. There is a sought after primary school and the property falls within the Cranbrook School Catchment Area. The mainline station which is just a few minutes’ drive away, offers an excellent commuter service to London (Charing Cross) in approximately 55 minutes. Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells, with their wider range of leisure and shopping facilities, are approximately 10 miles driving distance.
SPRINGBANK is a substantial traditional detached home, originally built in the 1950’s and as the family grew, it was extended with them! It now offers very spacious and adaptable accommodation. There is double glazing and oil fired central heating, however the property is now requiring general updating and redecoration. The long utility room is connected to the garage and this needs to be viewed to see the possible potential of making this into further accommodation. The garage is over 48’ long! The grounds of approximately 1 acre (unmeasured) are a real feature of this property and the gardens include an area of woodland with Cobnut trees which backs onto a garden nursery. The front of the property is secluded behind a high natural hedge boundary with a gravel driveway with off road parking for several vehicles. First time on the market in over 40 years, this is a delightful family home and we strongly urge your earliest viewing!
