Garden Cottage is one of a pair of tile hung cottages which has just benefitted from an

extensive programme of refurbishment and is situated on the edge of the popular village

of Bidborough in a private road. Now comprises briefly of a large reception room with bi-

fold doors giving you access to the breath-taking views and gardens, a well fitted

kitchen in a traditional style but with all the modern details and a downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs is the master bedroom which has space to fit a bank of wardrobes, and an en-

suite shower room. Additionally there are two further bedrooms and an elegant family

bathroom with a claw foot freestanding tub.

Externally to the front, the property is approached via a five-bar gate leading to a long

section of gravel which provides parking for at least three vehicles. To the rear the

garden is mainly laid to lawn providing you with stunning far reaching views across the

Kent countryside. There is also the benefit of an outbuilding which was previously a

stable and could now be converted to a studio or similar and also space to construct a

garage if desired, subject to the usual consents and planning permission.

We have no hesitation in recommending an early inspection as properties of this calibre

and in such an enviable location are rarely available.
