Coachmans Cottage is an attractive, white-painted and part flint-clad, double-fronted period family home thoughtfully configured for family living and entertaining.

The property blends character features—including sash and casement windows, exposed beams and original fireplaces—with modern amenities and neutral décor throughout.

The accommodation begins with an entrance porch featuring built-in seating, which—typical of homes of this age—opens directly into a spacious sitting and dining room. This charming space features quarry-tiled flooring and exposed brick chimney breasts at each end, one housing a wood-burning stove. A door leads to the rear-aspect kitchen/breakfast room, also with quarry-tiled flooring, offering a range of wall and base units, a bespoke breakfast bar, complementary work surfaces and splashbacks, and modern integrated appliances. Adjacent is a fitted utility room with an en suite cloakroom and access to the integral garage.

The kitchen opens into a rear hall with French doors to the terrace and leads through to a generous L-shaped drawing room, which enjoys a rear-aspect bay window and additional French doors opening to the rear terrace.

Stairs rise from the rear hall to the first floor which provides a vaulted principal bedroom with an en suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe with inter-connecting eaves storage, two further front aspect double bedrooms, a well-proportioned rear aspect bedroom with feature cast iron fireplace (currently configured as a study), and a modern family bathroom.

The property sits opposite open Kent Downs countryside and the Nailbourne, a small tributary of the Little Stour.

Set behind picket fencing and an area of level lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached over a tarmacadam side driveway, providing private parking and giving access to the integral garage and to a herringbone-paved path to the entrance porch.

The generous well-maintained enclosed garden to the rear is laid mainly to lawn and features mature planting. a garden pond, numerous seating areas, including a paved area part-covered by a pergola and a spacious block-paved wraparound terrace accessible from the drawing room and rear hall. The whole is screened by mature hedging and trees and is ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
