5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Station Road, Cowden, Edenbridge, Kent TN8

Little Friendly Green is a splendid period home in an idyllic rural setting just outside the village of Cowden, positioned between the sought-after towns of Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead and within easy reach of Edenbridge. The property offers a flexible layout with three well-presented reception rooms and over 2,300 sq. Ft of characterful accommodation arranged across two floors.

The welcoming reception hall, with terracotta floor tiles, leads to three main reception rooms, all overlooking the south-facing gardens. These include a generous sitting room with a brick-built open fireplace, a formal dining room with parquet flooring, brick fireplace and doors to the rear patio, and a versatile study, ideal for home working. All three rooms provide plenty of space in which to relax or entertain, and all with splendid views across the gardens. Also on the ground floor, the kitchen features wooden units to base and wall level, as well as integrated appliances, including an oven, an induction hob and an extractor hood. The side lobby provides access to the utility room and the larder, both of which offer valuable additional storage space.

Upstairs there are five well-presented double bedrooms, three of which overlook the rear gardens. These include the principal bedroom with its extensive built-in wardrobes. The first floor also has a family bathroom with an over-bath shower and a heated chrome towel rail, and a separate shower room with a large walk-in shower.

A shared singletrack access lane provides to the property, with the block-paved driveway at the front providing plenty of parking space for several vehicles. Across the lane there is a detached barn or garage providing further parking, as well as a studio or garden room and a greenhouse. The front garden has an area of lawn, bordered by mature trees, while at the rear, the sunny, south-facing garden extends to almost 300ft and includes a patio area across the back of the house for al fresco dining, with a large area of lawn beyond, bordered by mature trees and wild hedgerows. The garden provides plenty of potential for further landscaping, and includes a large pond, which is a haven for local wildlife.
