Description
GUIDE PRICE £700,000 - £750,000
Ivy Cottage, a charming and interesting four bedroom extended detached house is set within the heart of the popular historic village of Horton Kirby. The original part of the house is believed to be one of the oldest properties in the village which has since been extended into to what is now a unique family home. The property boasts bags of character with the original part of the house being predominantly flint fronted with decorative brick work with later more recent additions to the side and rear. On entering the house you will find that you truly have found something a little out of the ordinary. Comprising of spacious entrance hall, cloakroom/wc, shower bathroom, drawing room with inglenook fireplace, sitting room and a rear kitchen dining room completes the ground floor accommodation. To the first floor, the property offers a gallery landing that leads to the four bedrooms, with many of the existing parts of the house having exposed beams. The fourth bedroom/study would make an ideal space for those needing to work from home and there’s a family bathroom which leads to a useful storeroom. The garden is generously proportioned but is a manageable size with patio and lawn area with mature boundaries making it a secluded space with a large versatile garden room which that could be ideal for entertaining friends and family or as a home office or garden gym. Also in the garden is a detached garage accessed from the electric gated gravel driveway to the side offering lots of off street parking. This charming, period property is enviably located in one of Horton Kirby’s most sought after locations with ‘The Street’ running parallel to the River Darent, offering riverside walks, wonderful family pubs as well as idyllic views of the village. This vacant possession home is now looking for a new custodian that will now refresh its interior and is sure to suit an array of buyers, including growing families or those from London looking for an ‘escape to the country’ and a 'get away from it all' experience and yet is still conveniently located for road and rail links into central London. The historic village falls in the Sevenoaks District of Kent and dates back to Roman times.
