Description

A grade II listed cottage, situated in the village of Bilsington, with renowned pub The White Horse opposite, enjoying character in abundance with beams, original floorboards & inglenook fireplaces. Parking for two cars on the driveway, a double garage and further space if required.

This charming cottage enjoys a central position within the village, close by to the renowned pub loved by many; The White Horse. The village itself is a popular choice with plenty of countryside walking available close-by, and good road links to the coast, the surround villages and back into Ashford.

Stepping inside you’ll see this home oozes charm and character. Exposed beams, floorboards and an impressive Inglenook fireplace will catch your attention in the Living Room. Wandering around, the room size is unlike many cottages with a generous living space on offer. The Dining Room, much like the Living Room is a great size, also featuring exposed beams and with a practical flagstone floor laid. To the rear of the cottage is the kitchen, a modern design with integrated appliances and the conveniences of modern living, tastefully installed to compliment this home. Rounding off the downstairs is the bathroom.

Upstairs on the first floor are two generous sized bedrooms, each providing great storage space with built-in wardrobes. The original floorboards and the quaint cottage windows add charm to the bedrooms. A useful storage cupboard is found off the landing and a staircase rises from here to the Attic Room.
The Attic Room could be used in practical terms as a bedroom, much like how the current owners use this space, but could also be used for a number of uses, including a home office, workspace or craft/hobby room.

That’s not all, outside the space on offer is equally as impressive. Finding a cottage in a village with a generous garden is a rare find, as is having a driveway, let alone a double garage. You’ll see each of these here, and more. The driveway currently offers space to park two cars, however there is further space to the side which could be utilized giving more parking if required. The double garage offers secure and covered parking or could be used for a workshop/store if desired. Furthermore, two brick-built outhouses are also within the properties boundary and offer fantastic storage for garden furniture, bikes, lawnmowers and log storage.
