The cottage has been thoughtfully modernised while retaining the essence of its 18th century charm. Two reception rooms, each with a feature fireplace, create a natural flow through the ground floor, with the kitchen and utility room overlooking the garden. Upstairs, four comfortable bedrooms are served by a stylish bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath, bringing an air of quiet luxury.

The adjoining two-bedroom annexe offers a wonderfully versatile aspect to the property, with it's own garden and heating system, it provides excellent flexibility for extended family, guests or as an income-generating space.

The formal gardens surrounding the home are a delight, carefully planted and mature, with a feature pond, terraces for outdoor dining and generous lawns that merge into the open countryside. A log cabin home office and timber workshop add valuable practicality, ensuring that the home is as functional as it is beautiful, while a paddock of approximately 0.5 of an acre further enhances the property.

Situated within a tranquil hamlet at the foot of the Kentish North Downs, the property lies between Maidstone and Ashford, within easy reach of the villages of Lenham and Charing, both with shops, schools, and mainline stations. Ashford International provides high speed connections to London, while grammar and independent schools are well represented throughout the area.

Please note that the adjacent Mount Castle Barn is also available to purchase, either together with or separately from Mount Castle Cottage. The barn benefits from having Prior Planning Granted with designs for a four-bedroom, single-storey attached residence, set within over two acres of grounds. Alternatively, it offers excellent potential for secure vehicle storage or as a base for equestrian pursuits. For further details, please contact Fine & Country.
