The White Cottage
A rare opportunity to purchase a lovely detached Victorian
residence nestled on a plot of approx. 1.3 acres complete
with useful outbuildings. The property has been run in the
past as a thriving bed and breakfast business, and it still has
the potential for this use or as an amazing family home. In
addition there is the possibility of the outbuildings being
developed into either an annexe or a holiday let complex
with it’s own separate vehicular access and gardens.
Currently the outbuildings are used as a studio and offices,
plus a double garage.
Inside the house are four bedrooms, two with en-suites and
the further two bedrooms have detached shower rooms
available for their use. The downstairs accommodation has a
lovely reception hallway with space for a study area, formal
drawing room and further sitting room with doors that
open onto the gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room is full of
working surfaces and cupboards, this leads through to a
good size utility room. The dining room has a wonderful box
bay window overlooking the gardens with a feature fireplace.
Outside the property has ample parking and you have
access to the outbuildings, as well formal landscaped gardens,
paddock and outdoor tennis court.
Located in Hawkenbury, a small rural hamlet between
Staplehurst and Headcorn, you are ideally placed to be able
to easily commute from either villages mainline station.
Shopping facilities are also available in the main villages,
however you are within walking distance to a country pub.
