Set in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with far reaching views down to the Kent coast as far as Dungeness, Timber Lodge offers a modern, comfortable and contemporary living space, with the benefit of landscaped gardens overlooking fields and a large roof terrace to take advantage of the superb outlook.
A uniquely designed detached family home, which has been extensively renovated and updated by the present owners to create an interesting and inviting property. With reversed accommodation arranged over two floors to make the most of the far reaching views, there are such notable benefits as a 24'10" kitchen/diner with gloss white units and oak worktops, cloakroom, living room with double patio doors overlooking the gardens and an 18'11" television/reception room. To the lower ground floor, there is a master bedroom suite with en-suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room, a single bedroom/study, an additional family shower room and boiler/utility room.
Outside, there is a wonderful roof terrace ideal for al-fresco dining and relaxing, offering superb views over the well tended rear gardens, neighbouring fields and down to the coast. To the front, there is a driveway with parking for numerous vehicles with steps leading down to the front of the property and side access to the rear gardens. We also understand from the Vendor that there is the possibility of purchasing additional land to the rear.
The property is located to the North side of the village centre of Charing. The village sits between the foot of the North Downs with the Pilgrim's Way and the Green Sand Ridge, a rural area rich in farming, some 5.5 miles west of the larger market town of Ashford and 13 miles east of Maidstone. Charing enjoys an interesting mix of village shops, pubs, restaurants, church, primary school and doctor's surgery.
Transport links are well supported with a main line railway station in the village, providing access to London Victoria and Ashford International station which benefits from the High Speed train service to London St Pancras, with a journey time of just 37 minutes. Junction 9 of the M20 motorway is some 5 miles distant and junction 8, some 8 miles distant, both providing direct access to London and the Kent coast. Properties of this type are rare to the area and we would strongly urge your earliest viewing.
