Description
Hidden behind electric double gates this detached family home in the pretty village of Pluckley offers spacious and attractive accommodation combined with a well-tended private 0.54 acre plot backing onto woodland.
This beautiful home has been owned and improved by the current vendor for over twenty years - a testament to what a comfortable home it has been in that time, an ideal place to raise a family with the countryside on your doorstep yet having the convenience of transport connections for road and rail. A new boiler was fitted in 2024 and there are also solar panels greatly reducing running costs that can also be sold back to the national grid. There is also lapsed planning permission for a first storey extension over the kitchen breakfast room which could potentially be reinstated.
The attractive and spacious accommodation comprises entrance hall, cloakroom, large sitting room with ornate fireplace and box bay window, dining room with box bay, study, cloakroom, a superb 28'10 kitchen/breakfast room with an orignal German Poggenpohl
kitchen and a separate utility room.
Upon arriving at the property you are greeted by full height closed board electric double gates that welcome you to an extensive shingle driveway with off road parking for several vehicles leading to a detached double garage with a most useful full size lean-to at the rear.
The gardens are predominently laid to lawn to both the front and rear with a wide variety of inset shrubs, borders and trees. An extensive flagstone terrace area offers a wonderful place to relax and perhaps enjoy some alfresco dining. In addition there is a pretty summerhouse and a recently installed garden shed.
The rear garden backs onto a private coppice that in the spring produces bluebells - a wonderful outlook.
