This period property is approached down a long farm track and is set in the heart of a lovely old Kentish apple orchard. While you may feel remote, you are less than a mile from both Chart Sutton, which has a village shop and cafe, and Sutton Valence, which has pubs, a post office and a petrol station. It is also home to Sutton Valence Castle, the ruins of a small Norman keep dating from the 12th century. The country town of Maidstone is 6 miles away and trains to London take only 45 minutes.
The ground floor of this welcoming property includes a cosy lounge with an ornamental fireplace, original beams, comfortable sofas and a TV. This leads to a kitchen with a quarry-tiled floor, another ornamental fireplace that was originally a bread oven, and a table and chairs seating four people. When you’re ready for bed, head up carpeted stairs to the three bedrooms. Two of these rooms are singles, and the third is a 4’ double. A refreshing shower room completes the interiors of the cottage.
The garden has a patio area with a table and chairs, overlooking the orchard. Dine out here on sunny days and admire the views.
