The ground floor comprises a large entrance hall with an elegant sitting room with large inglenook fireplace and woodburning stove overlooking the front garden through a bay window. The large dining room, with all its original period features has a fireplace with a smaller wood burning stove. To the rear of the property is a beautifully finished fully fitted kitchen with modern Aga and a range of wall and base units and drawers under worktops with island and space for a large kitchen breakfast table, with views and access to the garden. There is an additional snug room to the rear of the property with double doors opening on to the garden, currently used as a TV room, but also ideal as a playroom, home office or music room.

The immediately adjacent paddock could be made available to rent.
Edenbridge town is located in the Kent countryside and developed from a river crossing in Roman times. Subsequently it evolved into a market town where it became a vital part of the Weald iron industry. The town is surrounded by greenbelt countryside and is famous for the historic and attractive buildings that line the High Street.
The town boasts two railway stations with a journey time to and from London Bridge of around 40-45 minutes. Nearby is Hever Castle, many National Trust attractions, and numerous delightful pubs. Edenbridge has good local facilities including a range of small independent shops, a Waitrose supermarket, leisure centre with pool and quality eateries. For more extensive shopping, it is but a short drive to Sevenoaks, Oxted, East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells, or to Bluewater Shopping Centre. Several prestigious golf clubs and a selection of fine schools add to the attraction of this location.
