Borough Green is steeped in history going back many centuries and there are a number of historic houses here. One such house, found in a pretty location within the heart of the village, is Knole Cottage. This grade II listed home holds much character and history of its own, dating back we understand to the 1600's.
The home is found a very short walk from the High Street. Borough Green is a popular village with a good selection of local shops and cafes. The home is within the catchment area of several good/outstanding Primary schools and leading Grammar schools. There is a Library and medical centre as well as a large recreation ground. There are good transport links with the M20, M26 Motorways just a short drive away. The mainline railway station is also within easy walking distance and has regular services to London Bridge, Charing Cross and Victoria.
The moment you step inside there is abundance of character and charm including beamed ceilings and an inglenook fireplace. The Lounge is a large L-shaped room allowing for a reading or study area and a cosy area in front of the fireplace. The Dining Room is a wonderful space for entertaining and formal Dining and has pretty views overlooking the rear garden. Access to the cellar is from the Dining Room and offers plenty of storage possibilities although could be utilised in the future to be another room. The Kitchen is bright, modern and leads out onto the garden. Beyond the Kitchen is a storage/boiler room and beyond that is the old W.C.
Upstairs the first floor has 2 double bedrooms and a generous single. The Bathroom has a white suite that has been chosen for its country cottage style. The second floor is accessed via a secret door and houses a beautiful double bedroom with vaulted ceiling although is currently used as a home office space.
Outside the gardens are truly amazing and has something for everyone. For the green fingered, the front garden has space for a Kitchen Garden area while the large lawn will be a safe and enclosed area for children to play in. The rear garden would be ideal for relaxing or dining al-fresco. Beyond the rear garden is a driveway for 2 or more vehicles as well as a detached garage.
So if seeking that rare combination of a practical family home whilst having plenty of character and charm then this should be featuring high on your viewing list.
