Description
A deceptively spacious early Victorian link-detached family home offering extended and refurbished ground and first floor accommodation, beautiful gardens, outbuildings and gated off road parking facilities, situated close to the centre of the sought after historic semi-rural village of Charing.
As the name suggests, this substantial property was the former doctors surgery for Charing village until it was replaced by the nearby modern doctors surgery some years ago. It offers much larger accommodation than the front of the property would lead you to believe and is ideal for a family and those wishing to work from home. The accommodation is arranged over two floors comprising entrance hall which leads through to a snug/study, a recently improved open plan kitchen/dining room complimented by a large separate utility room, inner hallway, downstairs cloakroom and a real feature of the home - a 24' x 18'3 double aspect sitting room with French doors leading onto the landscaped rear garden. The first floor enjoys a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. There is a second bedroom with study area, two further bedrooms and a shower room.
Outside, a private driveway from Station Road leads through double gates into an off road parking area with the principal parking being to the rear of the property accessed via an electric sliding gate leading to a detached garage. The generously proportioned landscaped rear garden boasts a large paved patio area, a detached insulated 27' timber office/gym, secure metal bike storage shed.
Locality
Charing 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. The village enjoys an interesting mix of village shops, a micro pub, churches, primary school and doctor's surgery.
Transport links are well supported with a main line railway station, providing access to London Victoria and Ashford International stations, whilst junction 9 of the M20 motorway is some 5 miles distant. The village is also just 5 miles west of the market town of Ashford, with its excellent shopping and leisure facilities, choice of schools and Ashford International station which benefits from the High Speed train service to London St Pancras with a journey time of only 37 minutes.
