Hunton RoadMarden, Tonbridge, Kent, TN12 9SH

This attractive semi detached Victorian cottage has been thoughtfully refurbished and extended in recent years to create a spacious yet contemporary home, set within a generous plot of over an acre in a delightful rural setting on the outskirts of Marden.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with a handsome wooden staircase and to the left, a useful study, ideal for home working. Beyond the hallway, the sense of space becomes apparent in the generous dining room, which enjoys double doors opening directly onto the garden. A striking dual aspect log burner provides a charming focal point, serving both the dining room and the adjoining sitting room. The two reception rooms are beautifully connected by glazed double doors, allowing the space to flow effortlessly for everyday living or entertaining, with oak flooring throughout enhancing the feeling of continuity.

The sitting room is triple aspect and benefits from further doors opening onto the garden, flooding the room with natural light. A staircase leads from here to an excellent guest suite with eaves storage and an en suite cloakroom. From this elevated position, the room enjoys stunning far reaching views across open countryside.

From the dining room, further glazed doors lead into a modern and spacious kitchen, which opens seamlessly into a cosy snug with a wood burner and fitted storage. The kitchen is exceptionally light, fitted with cream cabinetry, granite worktops, a butler sink and a range cooker, complemented by underfloor heating, three rooflights and a door opening onto the garden. A cloakroom, utility and laundry room is conveniently accessed from the kitchen.

The oak staircase rises to the first floor, where three well appointed bedrooms are arranged. The principal bedroom has a dual aspect outlook, beautiful countryside views and a generous en suite shower room incorporating a sauna. A modern family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation.

The gardens are a particularly special feature of 3 Gate House Cottages. Immediately surrounding the house is a formal garden with a terrace and three useful garden sheds, enhanced by mature planting including lilac and magnolia. Beyond this lies a more informal area of land, once an orchard, featuring a stunning pond with duck house and surrounding willows, creating a tranquil setting ideal for relaxation. The grounds are enriched by a variety of mature trees, including apple, oak, willow and magnolia, and enjoy lovely views extending over the surrounding rural landscape.
To the front of the property, a gravel driveway provides parking for several vehicles. Altogether, this is a charming and characterful cottage in a fabulous rural location, offering both beautiful surroundings and modern comfort.
