Description
St John's is a large late Victorian semidetached house built around 1897 situated in a private road near to the centre of the historic village of Charing. Properties of this era seldom come to the market and we strongly recommend viewing.
This extended property provides ideal family accommodation whilst retaining many attractive period features including marble and cast-iron fireplaces, high skirting boards, coved ceilings and picture rails.
The accommodation includes entrance hall, cloakroom, boot room, sitting room with bi-folding doors, dining room, drawing room, utility room and large kitchen/breakfast/family room also with bi-folding doors to the rear garden. To the first floor there are two bedrooms, dressing room/bedroom 4 and a large luxury bathroom with roll top bath and separate walk-in shower. The second floor provides a master bedroom with en-suite shower room.
Outside there is a driveway edged with box privet hedge and plant borders to the front. A rear garden with lawn and sandstone terraces provides a pleasant entertaining space with mature trees, shrubs and flower borders.
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.
