Description
This spacious second floor two bedroom apartment provides an opportunity to live in the delightful village of Pluckley with its convenient main line railway station making commuting to London and countryside living a real possibility.
The apartment forms the top part of a former shooting lodge once owned by the Dering estate with its well known arched windows and ragstone construction.
The apartment shares a communal entrance hall with one other property, a staircase leading up to a private entrance door and attractively decorated stairway up to a long hallway with opening to the recently fitted contemporary kitchen and open plan sitting/dining room. There is also a surprisingly spacious main bedroom with a second double bedroom and contemporary shower room.
