Located on the edge of Horton Kirby, a charming Kent village with a rich history and thriving community including the nearby cricket club, this wonderful period cottage has been extensively updated by its current owners and provides a fine mix of living and entertaining space surrounded by a walled and landscaped garden.

The property is approached along a quiet country lane and entered through an electric sliding entrance gate into a gravel parking area at the front of the house with ample turning space and a double garage with electric roller shutter door and built in store room. An entrance lobby leads through to a fine entrance hallway with oak flooring alongside access to a remodelled utility room, coat cupboard/store room and separate guest WC. The living room, originally the oldest part of the house, is bookended by two imposing inglenook fireplaces, one fitted with a log burner. The original oak panelling with carvings matches the exposed oak timbers but also the updated interior décor and carpeting. All of the doors are of solid oak wood.

At the eastern edge of the house the current owners have extended the original kitchen to create a magnificent open plan kitchen dining area with oak framed extension (with zoned underfloor heating) incorporating 2 pairs of bi-folding doors opening up to the terrace and garden. The kitchen is handmade with quartz stone worktops, integrated appliances, twin ovens, a 5-ring gas hob, a separate breakfast larder and a large central island.

Upstairs the house provides four double bedrooms over the first and second floors together with a pair of family sized bathrooms. The newly created master bathroom includes a large walk-in shower alongside a freestanding bath and underfloor heating whilst the guest/second bathroom has also been updated. Within the house the current owners have added a new boiler with pressurised hot water and updated central heating system (with elegant cast iron radiators) along with a water softener and Nest smart thermostats. The lighting has been changed to LED lights throughout the property and all the bedrooms have been fitted with built in cupboards and wardrobes.

Outside the kitchen/dining room opens up onto a wrap around terrace, perfect for al-fresco dining and entertaining. Alongside, the garden is ideal for families, set to grass with a post and rail fencing/large hedging border and providing enough space for the most boisterous of children. The house also has a recently fitted EV charger.
