Offered chain free, this charming period cottage is an entirely unique proposition, providing a stylish and quirky take on single storey living.
Located in the heart of the picturesque village of Brasted, with local amenities on hand and the vibrant commuter haunt of Sevenoaks just 3.5 miles away, the property has been the subject of a painstaking restoration and enlargement overseen by riba architect Jonathon Connolly (), to create versatile accommodation which plays to the strength of its characterful credentials.
Externally, a sheltered courtyard garden bathes in sunlight afforded by its favourable south-facing aspect, whilst an upper gated garden area – complete with electric car charging point – provides valuable off-street parking.
