Agents comment

We were totally impressed by the size and quality of this property and feel that it ticks all the boxes for modern family living. There are so many good sized rooms for family members to have their own space but the layout also offers the opportunity for great family gatherings.  One that has to be viewed to be appreciated. ( make sure you take the virtual tour to get a feel for property, then view it for yourself.

When it comes to dining out, you don't need to go far from The Parsonage, with a choice of two friendly pub restaurants, The West End Tavern and The Unicorn, as well as two Indian restaurants, Marden Tandoori and Taj of Kent, right on your doorstep in the village itself. There's lots more choice in the surrounding villages too, with Jumerira Indian Restaurant at Staplehurst, The Mulberry Tree at Boughton Monchelsea, The Hawkenbury Inn in Hawkenbury and The Wild Duck at nearby Marden Thorn all highly recommended. Head into Maidstone or Royal Tonbridge Wells for an even wider selection, with something for everyone, from a family treat at a famous chain to an intimate romantic dinner for two.
