Description
Coombe Cottage is a charming period property offering a wealth of character and interesting features, nestled on the edge of the picturesque village of Fordcombe. This property dates back to the 1600s and 1800s with later additions in the 1960s, and while it is not listed, it presents a unique opportunity for a new owner to renovate and modernize this sizeable family home to suit contemporary living standards, subject to the necessary consents.
The house features three generous reception rooms, including a large sitting room, family room, and dining room, all opening onto a paved terrace that encircles the property, ideal for outdoor entertainment. There is a kitchen/breakfast room with a larder cupboard, and additional utility space with a ground floor WC. Two smaller rooms on the ground floor could be repurposed as needed.
Upstairs, the property offers three double bedrooms, a dressing room/fourth bedroom, two family bathrooms, and a separate WC. The house is set in a generous established plot of approximately 0.73 acres, with a wraparound paved terrace, a large lawn area with mature trees and a pond, and a brick and tiled roof outbuilding that could be converted into additional living space, such as an office, gym, or studio, subject to planning permission.
Coombe Cottage benefits from a right of way to a parking area with space for several vehicles and a detached double garage. The property is situated in a semi-rural location with wonderful views over the gardens and countryside, and is well-placed for local amenities, including highly-regarded village primary schools, dog-friendly pubs, and community events.
The village of Fordcombe is within easy reach of larger towns such as Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, and Sevenoaks, each offering a range of shops, restaurants, and well-regarded schools, including grammar schools and private institutions. The property is also well-connected for transport links, with mainline train stations nearby providing access to London Charing Cross, London Bridge, and Cannon Street. This is a unique opportunity to create a beautiful family home in a desirable location with plenty of scope for personalization and modernization.
