Description
A three bedroom period cottage located just north of Wateringbury village offering attractive accommodation with superb views of the neighbouring countryside. 2 Phoenix Yard Cottages was believed to be originally constructed as a hop picker's cottage and lies in a tucked-away position offering an excellent retreat to the country, yet maintaining access to main transport links and shopping facilities. The current owners have gone to great lengths to create a warm and welcoming cosy cottage which, in our opinion, is very well presented throughout.
The accommodation is arranged to include an entrance porch, sitting/dining room with wood burning stove, fitted pine kitchen with granite worktops, master bedroom with excellent views over the gardens and neighbouring countryside, second bedroom, third bedroom/study and first floor bathroom. Outside, there is a courtyard garden to the rear of the property with the main garden lying predominantly to the front of the property.
The attractive village of Wateringbury lies just 4.9 miles from the centre of the county town of Maidstone and offers a train station with connections to Paddock Wood and Tonbridge with further connections to London. There is also a post office and a selection of local shops. Maidstone offers a wide range of shopping and entertainment facilities with two mainline stations and easy access to the M20 motorway. Properties in this location offering such views are rare to the market so we would strongly advise any interested parties to make immediate arrangements to view.
