Are you looking for a private, rural and secluded location, yet with the convenience of easy access to the M2/M20 motorway connections? Then look no further for this cottage certainly fits the bill. Located at the top of Stockbury Valley, just off the A249, the house is situated at the end of a long private unmade driveway and is surrounded by woodland and grounds extending in excess of two acres (unmeasured). Its proximity to the A249 means that there is direct access to the M2/M20 motorway connections and Maidstone and Sittingbourne town centres. The property is an attractive and established cottage that has been the subject of considerable extension works over the years and now provides deceptively spacious and well-planned family accommodation, which can only truly be appreciated with an internal inspection. There are four double bedrooms (two of which share an en-suite shower room), single fifth bedroom/study, an imposing lounge with feature bay window and fireplace, separate dining room, reception hall/sitting room, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, luxury family bathroom, downstairs cloakroom and a very attractive 25ft conservatory for chilling out and enjoying the garden views. The cottage has the benefit of an oil fired central heating system via radiators, double glazed window units and a detached triple garage, plus off road parking for numerous vehicles, caravan or boat. In addition to the attractive formal gardens with the sunken suntrap patio area, there are two paddocks plus surrounding woodland, which could also be utilised as paddock space and two 12ft x 12ft stables for the more equestrian minded clientele. This truly unique opportunity is sure to attract a good response in the market place, particularly bearing in mind the very realistic price range.
